Day 21 BCP Cycle

We started the Lucrin injections this weekend.  On Sunday morning we set the alarm for 6am, and hubby jabbed me and we went back to sleep again for 2 hours.

I moved the Menace into a Tupperware box in the fridge - there was a block of cheese sitting on top of the little boxes of medication and it just didn’t look right.  What if the cheesy fumes in my fridge penetrate the box and have some kind of effect on my menace??? Oh the mind is a wonderful thing.

I woke up this morning with a headache - mild hangover quality, and am wondering if I am going to have a Lucrin hangover for the next 21 days.  It would seem that almost all the meds cause headaches as one of the side effects.  I am a headache sufferer - if the side effects say headache, then that’s the one I will get - I couldn't even take the pill for contraception back in the day when that was a concern. I hope this is as bad as it will get and they won’t all build on one another,

And slight dizziness, about 2 hours after the injection that only lasts a minute.  I shrugged it off yesterday, but it happened again today so I am thinking it’s related.

Hubby is still wading his way through Easter eggs that I can’t eat.  So I made this chocolate pudding from a recipe that my dietician gave me - it uses avo for the creaminess and dates for the sweetness. I will be deadly honest here - it’s not Geldhof chocolate but it is a substitute that works and satisfies the craving.

Avo and Date chocolate "mousse"

Half avo
3 fresh pitted dates
1 tbsp. good quality cocoa powder
Water as required
2.5 ml vanilla essence

Blend the avo, dates and cocoa powder.  Add water a tablespoon at a time till a good consistency, add vanilla essence.

Blend Blend Blend till smooth.

It is super rich, but doesn’t keep too well, but if you do refrigerate do it in as small container as possible, only for a few days at most, and scrape the top layer off before eating.

So each time you pop a chocolate Easter egg into your mouth say a little prayer for my eggies - lots of and good quality is waht we want, and say a prayer for my self discipline!

  1. Oh I really do hope your eggies are just right to create that lovely baby!
    I have been trying to cut down on chocolate, but every now and then I slip. Trying to support my diabetic DH and be healthy too..
    I really hope you can conquer the headaches. (Are you allowed to take pain tablets?!) I used to go through them as the headaches seemed linked to my cycle, now I am pregnant I seem to be having a welcome break from them. All the more reason to get you pregnant! surviveandthrive.co.za
