Okay, but for a few custom header image problems we are almost there! Yes, I really want Lifeslurper Teddy to return, even if no one else does. Hopefully the site looks vaguely elegant and a bit less crowded. A few more things will be tweaked before Lifeslurper goes and has a good lay down. [...] I hope there are still some readers out there! The Lifeslurper facelift continues…slowly. Attempting any clever computer stuff is difficult when you don’t know your php from your ftp. So works will continue for a few days yet. Hopefully some improvements will be apparent soon. Efforts to repair various faults might take some time, [...] The appearence of this blog has been an issue of some contention from the start. Over the next week or so, some changes will be made. Hopefully, this will see the site a little more user friendly, and the design a little more clearer. So apologies for any problems this might cause during the [...] |

Post Cycle Anxiety Disorder?
Teddy Lifeslurper wondered if the Crinone brand extensions had been a wise choice.
Is there such a thing as ‘post cycle anxiety disorder?’ If there isn’t already then I have just coined a name for what is probably a common condition.
Five spectacularly unsuccessful IVF cycles down and some strange things have been happening. I feel different to what I did before, and here was me priding myself on my ‘superior’ knowledge of self. I am at a loss to really describe the situation with any clarity.
I have become vague, worse than what usually occurs a few days in on a stimulation cocktail of FSH injections and Synarel nasal spray. I am word searching all the time. I speak and not only the words but the entire topic goes completely from my mind. A mind as empty as my womb. What is happening? I have seriously been wondering if I had some kind of breakdown or if I am heading straight from IVF to Alzheimers.
Sure, I live with depression, but this is something else. I have a sense of panic in most things I do, even the most simple of tasks. Feelings of being overwhelmed when deciding what to cook for dinner, which lane to drive in, and which supermarket register to line up at. Actually, I feel a complete loss at most things these days.
It is easy to blame IVF for everything. I know I do blame IVF for most things. Here at the Lifeslurper Spa Resort it has become a favourite comment; borrowing from the old ‘letters to the editors’ featured in newspapers of yore, before the days of online comments when it was popular to include the line; “…of course, I blames the government” somewhere in the body of the letter. Here we say; “I blames the IVF!” as a response to any event such as when the tea bag supply runs low, or when a light globe blows. It is quite convenient to have a handy scapegoat ready.
Yet something more seems to be amiss. Continue reading Post Cycle Anxiety Disorder?
