Makin' a Baby
It looks like we are sticking with the plan to hold off on injectables until my October-ish cycle. I got DS1's preschool schedule in the mail the other day and the way this cycle is shaping up, it looks like the first week or two of preschool will also end up being the period of time when I need to be monitored daily by the RE.
I was thinking that maybe we could try to old fashioned "natural" way of having a baby. Not that I think it will work since we did it that way for a year and spent the last 20 months not avoiding doing it that way. But it could be worth it to have some more sex when I have fertile CM (which started today) just in case we got lucky and could avoid infertility treatments and the costs associated with them. (Talk about outrageous! We spent nearly $350 last month on infertility "stuff" and that wasn't even for any proceedures that might get me knocked up.) Plus, I was looking at the literature that the RE gave me today and got to some photos of how to give yourself the injections and that kind of freaked me out. I don't think DH would be too crazy about giving me injections to begin with but I also am the type of person who will have to give them to myself just to prove to myself how awesome I am and that I can do it. I brought some of this up to DH this evening and we had the following conversation:
Me: So I think we should try to have a baby.
DH: Ok.
Me: We should start tonight.
DH: Ok.
Yeah, if only it was that easy. No over thinking and analyzing and wondering if this is the right time and if we would make good parents and no unicornate uterus and infertility doctors. Just sex and a baby. How ludicrous is that?
