Daylight Savings Time!

I know I've already posted today but this is an important one so I'm going to go ahead and post it anyway.

As any of you doing IVF injections will know, you're meant to do them at the same time every day but you do have about an hour window either side.  I try and stick to the exact same time and it's very rare that I don't manage it but it is handy to have that flexibility if you get stuck in traffic or something.

On Sunday morning whilst we were all sleeping (well, actually at 2 am we had friends round still for our Halloween party but never mind) the clocks went back an hour.  Suddenly mid-afternoon it hit me that if I wanted to keep my injections 24 hours apart I was going to have to do it at 7:30pm instead of 8:30pm.

I mentioned this on the group I'm part of on Facebook and a few people said it didn't matter because you get that hour window, which makes sense.  However, that takes away your hour window.  If you continue doing them at the same time, without adjusting for daylight savings, and then go an hour out for whatever reason, you're actually 2 hours out.

I've made mine 15 minutes later every day since Sunday to get them back to 8:30pm but it's something I'm glad I thought about.  It would definitely suck if they were morning injections so I'm glad I'm not on those ones at the moment!

Just a little food for thought :)
