Hello again,
Sorry for the long lapse, I had sent in an entry on Feb. 4th which
never got posted and I didn't know it. I no longer had a copy of it either
so I have to start again. My enemy AF arrived on Feb. 4th, right on
schedule making that cycle 26 days. I really had no expectation that we
were successful so wasn't as disappointed as I sometimes am. I think I've
resigned myself to the idea that we are going to need help so I no longer
get my hopes up. It also helps that I'm trying to focus on finishing school
and getting a job. I am currently on cycle day #11 and expect to ovulate
either Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, hard to tell lately. Last Wednesday
we went to the urologist. He was really nice and I liked him a lot. He
didn't find anything wrong with Larry upon physical examination and gave him
the prescription for doing the SA. He also gave him an antibiotic because
he said it would be better to just take it first and then do the SA because
if we do the SA first and then discover some type of infection we'd just
have to treat the infection and then do another SA so he figured this would
save us some time and energy. He told us not to be surprised if the SA
comes back normal since most of them do (I hope so!). He also said that
most likely it's an issue of timing (not timing intercourse, we've got that
down pat, but an issue of relax and it will happen) I couldn't decide if
that made me want to laugh, cry or yell at him so I just nodded. I get so
tired of hearing that, if I knew how to relax and let it happen then I
would. Ok, off my rampage... So Larry takes the antibiotic for 5 days then
will do the SA sometime next week. Since I expect to O anywhere from
Tuesday to Thursday so he'll have to wait until 3 days after that. This is
our last month of trying before taking March and April off, we have some
scheduling problems that make that necessary. So that's our story, I go to
the naturopath on Thursday, I'll let you all know how that goes.
I had a terrible thing happen last night. Larry and I went out to
dinner and a play for Valentines Day and when we got home I got ready for
bed, took my prenatal vitamin and took my 6 evening primrose capsules (I
usually take them 2x day and not before bed but I had forgotten). I lay
down to go to sleep and suddenly didn't feel well AT ALL. I ended up
rushing to the bathroom where I threw up my lovely (and no longer pretty)
dinner. I don't know if I have some sort of bug or if there is a connection
to guzzling all those pills. Let's just say that I don't think any amount
of cervical mucus is worth that! I'll write more soon, hope there's
something to report. My sister conceived her baby on Valentine's Day 1997,
maybe this is a fertile time of year for me too?? Let's hope.
