Ok where do I start?….erm Hi! *waves* I know it’s been a while (again) I’ve just struggled to sit down and focus on typing a post about one topic, in fact it’s taken a good 20 mins to type this so far! *rolls eyes*
Well my health on a whole has been quite good so far this year touch wood, my own issue is with my increasing weight probably because of the medication but most likely because I cant stop stuffing my blooming face!
But aside from that there has been quite a bit going on really when I sit back and think about it all.
Did any one manage to watch Episode 6 of Dr Christians Special Clinics (you know the episode that I was on with my partner!) It was aired in March and was on catch up for a month, if you didn’t watch it I can’t help you now as I haven’t been able to find it online anywhere (sorry) but here’s a quick verbal version of it.
We were seen by Dr Christian who referred me to a Gynaecologist (Mrs Bajekal) who spoke to me about an ultrasound scan I had done and basically said there was alot of scar tissue and she wanted me to have an MRI scan to have a better look at what was going on inside *gasps for air* she also said that there could be a chance they may be able to unblock my Fallopian tubes.
I can confirm that I had the MRI and there is scar tissue which has basically formed a pocket around both ovaries so nope it doesn’t seem likely that they will be able to unblock the tubes and IVF STILL remains the only option *rolls eyes again*
After the show I had a thought about my predicament and surrounding circumstances and decided to contact the Birmingham Mail who were more than happy to do an article about my current battle for IVF funding.
I waited and waited the weekend for them to post the article on their Facebook page but saw nothing I did see my story on their website though, admittedly I was disappointed but still grateful they did such and in dept story.
However Monday morning I was greeted with a message from my friend, who just so happen to be getting her bus pass and saw me on the FRONT PAGE! yes that’s right the front page!!! (plus a 2 page spread may I add lol) She was shocked, I was shocked , my shock was shocked, we were all shocked lol and of course I went straight to the shop and brought a couple of copies.
As a result of the newspaper article I was contacted for two radio interviews with BBCWM! I was soo nervous when I arrived at the studio I had no idea what to expect or what questions they would ask me, I was worried I’d trip over my words or say the wrong thing or even some how manage to swear and if you know me I rarely swear!
Both interviews went smoothly without a hitch really and they were both posted to the BBCWM website.
A lovely lady was listening to one of these interviews and contacted me afterwards, she suggested I try something called Mizan Therapy.
Mizan translates to Balance in Arabic and this therapy is a form of massage used to balance hormones and realign the womb! we spoke over the phone and arranged my first appointment…..which I will tell you about in my next post obviously! lol
But in the meantime here is the link to the newspaper article, sadly the radio interviews are no longer available as I just discovered (I had no idea they would expire) but anyway have a read, share and tell me what you think and as always if you have and questions or suggestions feel free to send them my way.
Thanks for reading keep an eye out for the next post!
Much love
Gladys and I
