Thanks for the kind words about my "little ball of cells" - knowing this early is a blessing and a curse. Chance of a poor result is higher just because genetic mistakes tend to get picked up by the body early and it just looks like a late period - the chances of non-viability are up there this early on. On the other hand - I can't stand not knowing what is happening in my body so I always know this early (three times for three births I knew right away) and I always wear myself out with worry until around the 12th week or so. The hcg and progesterone were a bit low but it could have been due to a late implantation. Just had more bloodwork - I should know more tomorrow. I am always better knowing than not knowing.
I agree that there should be some sort of balance in terms of initiation. However, I am learning more and more that this IS my H's way of showing interest - one of the "subtle signs" we talk about here. Rarely, he will actually reach for me and I've never quite determined what makes that happen. I am absolutely in HOG heaven when it does and usually want to be the one reaching for him the very next day or two.
Funny, my H has often commented on how we should be one of the "sponsor couples" for marriage classes at church. I usually feel like retorting - "when we have a regular, open exchange of sexuality where I don't feel like an oversexed neurotic and you don't feel like an undersexed anxiety laden failure we'll be ready. KWIM??
