Back from the doctor with a prescription for antibiotics and a medical certificate to take tomorrow off as well.

It's been ages since I've actually been in to see my GP, so it was funny going over all the dramas that have been my IVF journey. Then he asked how DH went with his varicocele... all I could do was laugh. He did say that he thought I was doing amazingly well considering what I was going through, and it's all well and good for the FS to say don't stress, but if he's going to mess with my hormones then that's going to mess with my mood! It was good to have a medical professional telling me I'm doing good - I always feel like I'm sort of in trouble with my FS.

The antibiotics I've been given aren't safe while TTC, but my GP says that I'm not going to be pregnant for at least another two weeks, so we're probably pretty safe. I probably should call the clinic tomorrow and check - I also forgot to mention the prednisone to them... but in some ways I really don't want to tell them! I'm scared they'll want to cancel the cycle and I've been through enough of that!

Holly, the tea has arrived! I'm not brave enough to try it just yet with everything tasting icky because of the sinus infection, but thank you so much for sending it to me. You're an amazingly kind and generous woman.

Sorry for being so self-absorbed. The sinus infection is bad enough to be making my teeth hurt and my brain is all foggy. My eyeballs feel like they are being pushed out of me head and I can't focus properly. I'm living in sinus infection hell!
