Lucky in Love

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Happy Valentines Day to all. L and I went to a nice dinner then came home and cozied up on the couch to watch a movie. I am truly a lucky gal to have a hubby like L.

I love my husband for many reasons but our conversation the other day just reinforced that. L has periods of time where he has alot of traveling to do which we all know that with infertility treatments it gets to be inconvinient. Well we started our cycle last week and the injections last saturday which means that this week we are finishing up was about the safest week to travel and the next two weeks gets kinda dicey. So L was told that he has a mtg in CA. next friday which is right smack in the middle of our probably IUI window. I know he has to do this for his job but it makes me nervous for him not to be around. So I brought up the idea that maybe I could ask the clinic about freezing his sperm. so that if he wasnt here at least we would have the goods lol or that maybe his boss would reimburse us the cost of the cycle and we would try again another month. I really really appreciated his answer to this. He says that 1) he wants to be with me during the IUI because he has been there for all the other ones and just wants to be there and 2) that I have already been enduring the shots and it wouldnt be fair to just cancel the cycle. For that very response I love my husband even more.

L is not very vocal about his feeling toward our struggle/failures but these kinds of conversations help me realize that this matters to him as much as it matters to me he just has a different way of dealing with it. While I bit.ch and moan and pout, he just chugs along keeping the positive thoughts for the both of us.

I will take this time to say: L, thanks for being a great husband and the bestest of friends. Love you TIABABAIT.

P.S. I have my first ultrasound tomorrow to check for follicle growth.
