Paul and I had some time to talk this weekend about what we plan to do in place of IVF. I have my ovulation test kit ready to go. I'll call the clinic when I have my LH (luteinizing hormone) surge, and they'll get me in for IUI (artificial insemination) and we'll supplement that by "gettin' busy" (intercourse) from start to finish of the LH surge. We accomplished our most recent pregnancy with just the "gettin' busy" method, so I'm pretty confident that it will work this time around as well.
I was speaking to one of my co-workers that knows about our pregnancy attempts. I hadn't told her that I was gearing up for IVF...but she said she knew something was up because I'd not been acting like myself. She recalled in incident where a fellow co-worker asked me a simple yes or no question. It seems I bit the poor mans head off and didn't realize it. She said we needed to come up with a code word or a name for this "alter-ego" so she could discreetly let me know when I'm acting like an dick. We decided to name the fanged-one Agatha...as in aggravation, anger, aggressor. All she has to do is say "Agatha" and I'll know to shut up. Hopefully Agatha won't be making an appearance again anytime soon as I'm off the hormone they had me taking, but we're ready if she does!
Glad to hear you are feeling better. I will be praying that this method works.
