#cruiseofamazingness roller-coaster

I've put off writing this post for a while. It's been a tough week or so, and I am only just picking myself up after one of those loop-the-loop things with a big drop at the end. Catching up from last ...

Flashy Smiley Face!

Finally, after months of  , this month I saw a Clearblue smiley face on my ovulation kit! This was the cause for much excitement, as it could mean ovulation is finally here. However, of course it's not that simple. For the first ...

More Drugs
