Briggsy's girl, welcome! I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful angels, sadly there are far too many women in here who can sympathise with you there. I'm somewhat jealous that you seem to be jumping into treatment so much quicker than me, but if I was to be completely honest I do know that I need more time to be ok with things on an emotional level.

I'm slowly coming to terms with my own FS appointment - it is extremely confrontational! I'm still amazed at how easy it is to talk about it here on the forums, but when I have to speak about it I fall apart. Probably because chatting here on the forums it is still very internal, but to speak about it and put it out there it becomes so much more real.

Well... the three-day carb-binge has ended (yay!) and I'm now through the first hour of my fast. I'm really hoping I cope ok with the GTT tomorrow morning, but I'll just be so relieved to not have to force-feed myself high-carb food any more!

Quick discussion with DH this evening when he get home... he's got gigs on Thursday and Friday - it's great that he's getting so much audio work, but I was really hoping he could have come to acupuncture with me on Friday to chat about the varicocele repair. I'll make sure I get him to write down the questions and I'll take them myself. We'll be heading up to Newcastle on Saturday... I was half inclined to leave the thermometer at home while we are away, but I suspect I may be too attached to it. Maybe the break from it might do me some good.
