IVF TREATMENT....Here we come

It's quite bizarre really...in that DH and I are perfectly healthy as far as TTC goes. We have had some miscarriages along the way, but nothing that would make me think that we would ever be in this boat. But then again who does.

So we had our latest meeting at IVF Sydney today, and it went better than we expected. Prof's offsider spoke to us in regards to our last 2 months on clomid. In one deep breath she said she is just as frustrated as we are, and would like us to move directly to In vitro fertilisation. She then took us through a lovely little book 'Your pathway of care' and explained to us the process. We then signed our life away, to be honest I never discussed with DH the costs of the treatment even though I knew what the damage was, but in our case we are so desperately wanting a child of our own so no money is too much to ask for us. We will do anything and everything humanly possible.

So here we come January 29th.... Hormone Injections start!!!

This time of year

I feel like I have been a ping pong ball bouncing all over the place. Thank god I have two more weeks of work, come on Christmas Party!

 Doesn't it seem like everyone wants to catch up before Christmas...I don't get it why before Christmas why can't they say in the New Year?

Well I'm booked up!!! I had my third market stall for Missy Lou on Sunday, it went well, but whoa what a hot day! I'll be back for the last market of the year in 2 weeks. It seems like easy work, but it's hard keeping up especially when I have been inundated with orders off facebook and ebay. OH and hubby and I stopped via a club on the way home and I won my second ham in 3 days! What on earth am I going to do with two 5kg ham I'll never know...guess I could be nice and share it :P

Tomorrow is D day at the IVF clinic...another wasted month gone by with nothing but a BFN...so off to hand the prof another $600...hope to see him a little more than 5 minutes this time. Actually because I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself I told DH that I'm going to time on my stopwatch how long he actually sits with us..whoops I mean float in and out of the room. DH an I have made the decision if he isn't going to listen to us ...were out of there to find us a new specialist. Do you think I'm being silly? Should I just wait on? I'm scared that if we do leave then we have to start the testing all over again and I really don't want to do that. Uhhhhhhhhh the decisions.

It's days like these.....

I often wonder if I will stay in my chosen profession for the rest of my life, to be honest I'm not sure. I have days where I think why am I doing this to myself, and other days where I love what I do. But in all honestly I think it's only human to have these thoughts.


Well today I had one of my classes complete and hand in an assessment task. The brief was to design and make a birthday cake for a special occasion. I was overwhelmed with the talent and creative flair these students displayed thought the making and decorating of their cakes. I am just so proud and thrilled with their end results. So I thought I would show you one of my favourite ones, now remember this was made by a 15 year old!!!!

Not liking what I see

Over a year ago now I saw a photo that horrified me...ok not just one photo, there were hundreds. I was so disgusted with myself, how could I let myself get to this? 

The real trouble came when my little brother was getting married and I bought a lovely designer dress, a bit slinky, a bit of bling, a little bit so not right for my body shape. Well to cut a long story short, I ended up buying 3 dresses. I just wasn't happy in myself. 

So the decision came to lose weight, i was scared of getting diabetes and I was over telling myself you look good, when clearly I didn't. The day came when I made the decision to join WW. I have to say it was the best decision I had ever made. I had previously done JC for 5 months, I lost weight at first but then I was totally over the pre processed food. So WW was a nice change, it was common sense!

I lost over 8kg on WW but I quit, that's me in a nutshell, off I go full steam ahead then I get bored. So yesterday when we went off to a wedding, I wore a cheapo dress, but most importantly I wore my Bridget Jones sucker inners. It was so hot all I could think of was getting into the bathrooms and ripping them off. But I didn't because beauty is pain right?

TODAY the decision has come to get on the bandwagon again and try to get a little bit healthier! My aim by the end of January is to lose 5kg. To be honest I also think that I need something to take my mind off this TTC thing as well.

So today my lovelies, is my first day of a better me, a healthier me, a happier me...and I will be sharing my journey with you all...and just a side note it may make me more accountable if more people know about this little 5kg to lose!

Without further adieu... this is the old Lou..... 

Missy Lou

This business thing is hard work. Remembering to hand out business cards is my big downfall. I have the cutest little business cards, everyone has commented how much they love them, but I forget I have them... whoops.


On Sunday I had another market stall which went well. I have decided to take a different direction and price all my items $10 and under. That way whilst I'm not making a huge amount of profit I have a larger turnover of stock. Oh and the quality of items is a real hit.


I'm also finding I'm having alot of repeat buyers off ebay, which is great! And people contacting me for little clothing parties. 


but what I'm looking for now is a way of 'spreading the word'. And I have no idea! So I started a facebook fan page. So far so good 73 followers...but I need more! So I have opened up a HUGE Christmas Sale and Competition...fingers crossed I can hit 100 followers by January.
