Geez.. So blessed to have an awesome husband.
Well I'm done stimming an had a meeting with our dr. We had to decide whether to go froward with the egg retrieval because I only have 8 measurable follicles and the dr. Thinks we may get 4 eggs. Which I'm supposed to be the perfectly healthly one. What the heck ovaries....
DH grabbed a coin, and said if the coins in my right I think we should go for it, if in the left I think we shouldn't. That way I could pick and know he gave his true opinion not just what I Wanted him to say. I picked the hand to go for it, and there was the coin. We looked at our dr. And said we're going for it. He was shocked that our decision took all of 10 seconds.
So fingers crossed for more eggs than expected, and for what we do get to grow. Blessings counted for an awesome husband.
More of just sounding off since we haven't told anyone about our infertility.
Re: My husband is the best
