A roller coaster of a week

Firstly, it's been a super busy week, not had much time to think about anything, have been concentrating on getting my website up and running and promoting my brand. Trying to do that for free is tough going!  But, notably, I am much more inclined to be busy rather than feel sorry for myself and all lethargic cause my pain and bloating is vastly improved.

I felt a bit odd last Friday night, nothing specific at all, just uncomfortable and odd. Then Saturday morning I started to spot - that would be cycle day 22, so really not due a bleed on a regular cycle. Anyhow, this has continued all week. Not a great deal of flow at all, but lots and lots of clots. So my conclusion from that is that I did have some fibroids, and they are breaking down.  It's now a week later and all has been quiet this evening, but I'm yet to be convinced that it's stopped.

I also decided Monday night that I was using all this as an excuse not to make an effort with dieting. I did think it was valid that I see what side effects I got from prostap so I could be clear it was from that, but how long did that really need to go on for? I wasn't really enjoying food, just eating crap for the sake of it, missing meals for a packet of crisps and all that shenanigans. So, Tuesday morning I started cold Turkey back on plan. I decided too that all this messing about with it and adding in extra this and extra that is just ridiculous, so it would be 4 packs and veg and milk (cause of the calcium sapping effects of prostap - I missed out milk the first time round). And do you know what, it's actually been fine. Today I got some bloating late afternoon that has stayed around and is testing me and my anxieties but I know it's wind, and I'm pretty sure it's stemming from a mild level of dehydration - I've had a really busy rushing around hassly day and haven't had enough fluids. That needs to be a lesson I remember!
