Hi ladies
Sorry about the low mood Crispy, that sounds rubbish. At the risk of sounding woo, have you tried meditation or yoga, sometimes helps to 'swim under the waves' as it were.
Day 5 of Qlaira, happy to report I'm still sane, and actually feel pretty good today. No vibrations, mood is good, feeling pretty chipper. Tail end of period, has been pretty heavy, but not quite as bad as usual, and still have some crampy pain. I am hoping that one advantage of a good clear out with synethtic progestin is my distended stomach might be something that dissipates, as I've noticed recently that in the two weeks before my period my stomach starts to swell, which I suppose it would given I know that this month I know my endometrium was at over 10.5mm on day 17.
Only other thing to report is I'm a couple of pounds up, but might be water retention, hard to tell given it's time of the month.
I am trying to be very self disciplined with my thoughts, 'this is going to help me, everything is fine' - famous last words I realise, but trying to keep my mind on other things rather than obsess about potential side effects as it's too soon to say, and I've been such a basket case with my hormones lately, it's impossible to say anyway, what belongs where.
Will keep you posted,
Reb
