Bahahaha!!!
I've thrown DH a few bones here and there . . . (no pun intended) . . .he thinks its just for fun . . . but really I'm thinking about how I need him to clear out his pipes before he needs to sustain before an IVF (hehe) . . . so really not for fun, but he doesn't know that!
My Journey to Motherhood
Me 36, DH 42
7.5 years of TTC ... It never gets any easier.
Baby Girl # 1
TTC Since January 2009
Reproductive Endocrinologist diagnosed us "Unexplained Infertility".
After 3 years . . . 3 IUIs . . . and 3 IVFs . . . our miracle GIRL arrived on August 6, 2012.
Baby Girl # 2
TTC Since June 2013
Got pregnant on our own without Fertility Treatments - January 2016! Thank you snow storm Jonas!
EDD 10/15/16
At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid. Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth. If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP. My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!
Ha ha!! I needed a good laugh today, and this did it!! It is funny how you can forget how much fun sex is "supposed" to be.... but how lovely to be occasionally reminded!
Good for you, girl, get yours!!!
