Thanks becca for the reminder that our DH's get stressed out too and they can act a little jerky to handle their stress. My DH was a smoker, so he had to quit smoking so that we could have nicotine free spermies. Well, he quit the day before we introduced the stim meds. I am a little anal and wanted to read and re-read and re-read the directions (we don't get a shot class) before we did the shots and he wanted to just dive in and do it. Well, between the stress of new shots and him having a nicotine fit we got into a huge fight. Not the best timing to quit smoking. I get pissy with him because I am the one who has to take all of the shots, dr's appointments and everything else and I feel like he gets to relax and be stress free. But, it's true, it is very stressful for our DH's too. I have to remember that. He definitely handles stress internally and I want to get it out in the open all of the time. Ah well...we ended making up that night anyway.
This reminds me of a book I read, Having a Baby…When the Old-Fashioned Way Isn’t Working by Cindy Margolis. She talks about asking her RE for a dummy needle so that she can inject her husband so that he can know exactly what she is going through. It's hilarious. I definitely felt like sticking DH with a shot or two that night so he could understand what I go through every night. He even said I could but I didn't go through with it
The book is actually a quick read and it has some valuable information in it, if anyone is interested.Indie~Thanks for checking on me. I am on Day 4 of the Stimulation Meds. I had my bloodwork and US this morning. They said they couldn't really see too much going on yet which was expected this early into the stim meds and that they would call me later today with my lab results. They will either tell me to increase my meds or stay on course. The US tech told me they had 22 retrievals scheduled for tomorrow
Crazy, huh?
At our shot class they actually gave us one of each needed and some plain saline water to practice with. I showed my husband the 1 1/2 inch one and asked if I could try it on him first LOL OUCH, but I didn't. He's also a smoker, but they didn't say anything about not smoking....his semen analysis came back fine though....wonder if we should consider stopping that a week before or something? Everytime he takes a BC Powder or a pain pill I get irritated with him. Here I'm trying to be med free, herb free and he's taking stuff whenever he feels the need LOL, I just keep thinking that it'll effect his sperm somehow.
that ask how old your little ones is!!! I like your visualization too, sounds so peaceful doesn't it. I love garage sales though, I wished I'd gotten out this morning but we had to go get stuff for the pool....just another week and we can open it YAY! 
We're finishing up school so it's really hard for me to concentrate on AF, school, the psychologist appointment next week, we have 4 appointments for different things tomorrow and then my mom is in town so we're meeting her at 1 for lunch.....maybe without husband (and I do so much better when he's there with me LOL, since my mother didn't raise me...it's nice to have him there).
