I had the most excellent acupuncture session this afternoon! I was really really fatigued and sleepy and it's given me a huge energy hit - so now I'm still quite sleepy, but content and no longer feeling dead tired. She's still all worked up over the FS's recommendation to do nothing about the varicocele and was telling me about another article she found (I must remember to look up ACCESS) and has given me the name of a doctor who will do embolisations rather than surgery (must remember to look up the phone number too!). Here was me thinking that my next FS appointment is ages away - it's the 11th. I counted the days while I was doing my best pincushion impression and realised that it's only 20 days! My next acupuncture appointment is in three weeks, which made me realise just how close it is... it will be nice to have a bit of a break from it all over Christmas and new year, and then get back into it. The reason I was counting days was so I could figure out exactly when to start taking provera to try to make sure I have AF visiting when I next go see the FS... just so that anything he wants to suggest for treatment we can start on pretty much straight away. I worked out that 6 more days would be ideal, then start... but I'm still not sure if I will or not!

I feel bad for not doing personals, but it's just not going to happen. We're off to Newcastle tomorrow to stay with my parents over Christmas (must remember to call them and let them know!) and I'm happily ignoring the fact that I need to be wrapping presents and washing clothes and packing - all that wonderful stuff! My copy of swimming upstream arrived today, so I'm going to be doing a lot of reading while we're away. So far I've got three novels, a book on CBT and swimming upstream to work through... Busy, busy, busy!

Have a wonderful, wonderful Christmas everyone! I do hope that I return in a few days time to see more news of BFPs and that Kate's ovaries have awoken and decided to produce a nice, plump follie or two.
