Thank you so much. 
It's totally fine, don't worry about not remembering. 
I'm hoping this will work. The Loestrin 20 worked for the first month I took it in December, I think. And pretty much for the second month too, except for some breakthrough bleeding. I was able to get through my December contract without having to worry too much.
I also, interestingly, got some very mild PMS symptoms while I was on it...the ones that had disappeared a couple of years ago. 
Anyway, we'll see. I'll start them tomorrow. 
My fiancé wanted to go out to celebrate our second anniversary. We were thinking of dinner. I suggested two options: one if I was reasonably OK and one if I couldn't really manage going out. He was very happy with either, as long as we could celebrate together. So I might be able to go out to dinner. It's not this Friday evening, but the one after.
Fingers crossed. 
I might not be able to wear the super sexy dress he got me for Christmas (a skin tight, bright red number). But I have a lovely dark bronze sequin one he got the year before. It's a bit looser and I might be able to wear it without worrying too much.
We'll see. 
It's nice to have things to look forward to again. I've missed that.
