Country rock and the doc


We went to see Keith Urban in concert last night. Its great being a fan of dare I say it 'country' because when the big stars come to the UK they play in such small venues - I guess they're just trying to build up their fan base.


Anyway Mr Nicole Kidman (does anyone know if she is pg or not?) did not let us down, he was very entertaining. We stayed at the back of the hall as we didn't fancy fighting our way to the front, jostling for elbow room with screaming women - no sir, I'll just stay here, tap my feet and sip my water thank you very much. I took some very bad pictures of him, so if you squint your eyes, tilt your head and stand on one leg, you might just be able to tell its him. I must say he is a bit on the cute side....mmmm.
Onto other news, and before I do I had better give you some background. I have an under active thyroid which I have been taking medication for about 2 years now. I have to have my blood tested every 6 months or so to make sure my levels are ok. Well, when I was tested late last year the results were a little borderline so the doc suggested I repeat the test in 3/4 months.
So on Monday I trotted off to the hospital for the test (they send the results back to the doctors). I got a letter in the post today asking me to book a telephone appointment to discuss the results, so unless I am stupid, I think this means my results have come back 'dodgy' again. So what is going through my mind is that if they want to change my dosage I had better speak to my IVF consultant first. He prescribed my IVF drugs based on my age and FSH levels so if my new thyroid dosage affects my FSH levels the top of my head could blow off with OHSS!!
So that's my Friday update. We're off to lesson 2 of Ballroom Dancing later....one two cha cha cha.

Ooo Keith Urban! Awesome you got to see him--I love his music. I have no idea if Nicole is really pregnant....hmmm?

Have a great weekend and have fun dancing!

Apparently she's not-the news* said recently that she's in Australia shooting a WWII movie and on horseback most of the time, so not something really conducive to pregnancy.

'Course, it could be a cover story. I'm so naive.

Will be watching your first round of IVF with you! Hope your clinic is excellent!

*By news, I of course mean those goss mags that I should claim I would NEVER read.

I wish Nicole was pregnant, she's been through a lot too.

Sorry to hear your thyroid is complicating things, I'm sure it's the last thing you need right now.

Good luck getting everything figured out with the thyroid and IVF meds. It's amazing how much coordination is required with all this IF stuff. And it's not like the doctors are easy to get hold of, either.

Have fun this weekend, and good luck getting started!

Ooh, sorry about the thyroid playing up... I'm glad its been found now, before your head blows off. We wouldn't want that, we'd miss you too much!

Concerts, music and ballroom dancing! Sounds like you're having so much fun.

Good luck on your upcoming cycle. I hope everything works out.

I think Keith is so handsome and last I heard.. Nicole was not preggers but I wish she would be. They would make an adorable baby!

The stims start next week! Hopefully all will work itself out with regards to the thyroid medication.

Have a great time dancing Becks and enjoy the weekend!

It's a great idea to check with your RE. Specialists only seem to know their specialty unless you force them to integrate their knowledge. Since thyroid function is so connected to fertility, it might even be worth having your doctors have a chat.

Good luck! I agree that Urban is a cutey! So glad that he seems to have kicked alcoholism.
