Right now, I am sitting in an internet cafe right in the centre of Hong Kong party central Tsim Sha Tsui - blogging away.
I did forget about babies and IVF and fucking large needles that draw blood - for maybe a day or so.
But then of course my beady little eyes began to search for babies and pregnant women - even when I am supposed to be on holiday. And oh my god - there are so many young mothers in Hong Kong. Half of them half my age - and I am only 31. I saw 19 year old moms lugging their little girl to childcare before work. I saw `older moms' in their late twenties lugging three kiddies to the local fast food joint for a `quality' lunch. I saw almost angelic looking pregnant women with their massive bellies struggling to get into a crowded train on her way to work. It is such a fast pace city I cannot imagine going through IVF here - let alone bringing up a young life.
It makes me more determined to return home next week and give IVF another bash. It's worth it. I want a baby so much. I think this trip is a fantastic idea - I feel much better and all that shopping and touring has rejuvenated me.
I just hope my wee frozen ones (three more left) are ready for ME when I return.
In the mean time - its relaxation time - I didn't even bother to do my temperatures in the morning.

I love Hong Kong. May be I should do that in my holidays next week, just take off there for a few days.
Sounds like you're having a good time Drew. You certainly sound energetic and invigorated!
It's really liberating not taking temps, isn't it? I'm thinking of throwing the thermometer away, myself.
Hope you are having a great time!
