One very positive thing about keeping these daily blogs is I can look back over my progress and compare notes. I can say now, without a doubt, that the hcg + my menses = day of depression. I thought the last time my bout of sadness hit that perhaps the depression was simply because of my body adjusting to the hcg, etc - but going back and reading my journal, I had just started my menses then as well. I had notes regarding being sad and crying and not feeling like myself. This surely isn't a coincidence. So, while the hcg doesn't seem to affect me by giving me worse cramps, heavier flow, etc - it does indeed affect my moods greatly for at least one day during my menses. So there ya go!

I feel much better today, back to my "normal" self. Now that I have made that connection, I can better prepare myself for it in the future.

Thank you to everyone for their kind words. They really mean a lot to me and did help me in those 'woe is me' moments. :) Big hugs to you all.

Lunch: I had an apple for a mid-morning snack and then had chile chicken with tomato soup. I ended up shredding my chicken and adding it to the soup. Good stuff and sooo filling.
