It’s tricky some evenings as I might not eat until gone 9pm if I’ve had a particularly long club run and then I’ll want to go to bed around 10pm as I’m tired from the run! As I usually get up for a wee in the night I sometimes leave taking my Utrogestan until then
Ness Jul 2022 3:30pm, 4 Jul 2022 22,902 posts	0 Ness Useful tips. Thanks, both. I have bookmarked both those comments to help me when I’m away on holiday and my routine changes. We generally eat later in the evening while on holiday and I hadn’t yet worked out a way round it.

GetOutTheDoor Jul 2022 6:12pm, 8 Jul 2022 277 posts	0 GetOutTheDoor Had my first mammogram this morning - thank you NHS scotland (not sarcastic, a genuine thank you). The radiographer was superb. Made me feel just fine about the whole process. Weirdly my rather shambolic haircut was more of an issue than surplus flesh, almost had shadow from hair! I was very relieved though that the whole process was as low stress as possible. Just a wait for results now. Again, the radiographer was reassuring, mentioning that call backs for technical issues are more common for first mammograms.
