Actually guys that was supposed to be the idea (more or less) during the last year. Through our recent diagnostic testing it was gently explained to us that given the diagnostic factors we have about a 3% chance to get pg naturally any given month. With limited intervention (IUI) that chance jumps to 18%, with IVF (which we are not currently considering) the chance becomes 50%. So the end product of a "fruck like minks and see what happens" plan is very small chance of success, very distinct chance of each feeling like breeding dogs, show ponies, you name it AND certain chance of regular disappointment as the months roll on and the relative fertility of each of us decreases. I actually think that deciding on doing some limited intervention has been freeing for both of us sexually. It is totally counterintuitive but there it is.
BF - yes our plate is completely full, over full in fact. I do think that this is a large part of the problem. However, H and I had a very frank discussion about the kind of support I will need while taking these hormones etc... I explained to him that I don't need support like making dinner, cleaning house, dealing with the kids, I will need direct, emotional support - loving behavior, conversation, hugs, kisses etc... I think he heard me and he was ready to hear me because he was already being much more interactive with me and so it didn't sound like a really wide gulf to try to fill.
OK - go ahead and say it - the current efforts on H's part are probably not a permanent condition, he will slack off at some point and then I will back here whining. Well, I know that but I am just trying to enjoy it.
