Yeah, it didn't turn me on either but unfortunately just served to highlight the sitch that I am in - I got compliments from regular to hey baby to rather outlandish from complete strangers whom I could give a sh!t about but can't seem to inspire the same in my husband, whom I love and want to be complimented by. If my H said it, it might turn me on rather than inspiring the "Aaaaaaaaw, how cute response."

Currently, things are ok but I am still dealing with my disappointment about how our trip went down. I am worried that things are about to get worse too - we will be doing an IUI (intrauterine insemination) cycle next month which will require me to take hormones. H has NO IDEA what we are getting into with this. He goofed around with the baby and made jokes with the Doctor the entire time. He looked a little like the teenager who avoids the subject and your eyes due to embarrassment and discomfort. I told H that we will need to talk later. He needs to understand the degree of mental/physical discomfort that I will be in due to the drugs, the extra support that I will need emotionally etc... I honestly think that he has no idea. My other (rational or irrational?) fear is that as long as we were trying to have a baby the old fashioned way then we maintained some sex life. What happens when it is being done primarily by turkey baster? (I think they ask you do have IC on one particular day during the cycle about two days before he has to give his "sample."

Oh - I am just very up and down about all this.
