I meant to share this post sooner, but got so busy I didn’t get a chance. Hope you enjoy the laughter. I sure did!…
My husband is hilarious. I mean it. He is absolutely hilarious. S. and I were lying on the bed talking about upcoming financials for this ICSI. We know the base cost minus meds is $22K. We were discussing how we would pay for that and were reviewing the Fertility Friend loan information.
I happened to mention that this week (now last week) is my fertile week. I’d temped starting the week after menses to see if I could detect ovulation surge. We’d already baby danced, but I purposely didn’t mention that it was my fertile week because I wanted to be about intimacy and not fertility.
Ya’ll, I kid you not. My husband in his hilarity said, “wait, you’re fertile now! Like, right now?!” I responded I very well could be with all the signs and we’ve already made love once this week. To which he responded….”Oh, we have to get this done right now. We have 22 THOUSAND REASONS why we need to conceive this month!”
LOL. Then he proceeded to strip. Lol. Can I tell you how hilarious this man is and how silly?
I love my husband lol.
Fast forward to today (8/23) and my husband and I are still waiting for the financial rep to call us with information about the true costs of ICSI. I’m beginning to get a bit frustrated because the longer we are in limbo, the shorter time for us to get stuff approved and set into place to begin.
My cycle should start about 3 September. I will then start birth control and bloodwork/ultrasound visits. But the 3rd isn’t really that far away, so we really need an answer and soon. I’m nervous.
Admittedly so.
Today S. and I went to a fitness assessment. S. is in the gym every day. It’s a destressor for him. I honestly loathe going to the gym. I love the feeling I get after I complete my workout, but man do I lack the motivation to get there (just being honest). Anyway, I know that I need to get into a gym for health reasons and not weight.
Yes, it would be great to have arms like Angela Bassett and a stop traffic figure like my girls Jennifer Hudson and Jill Scott, but I’ve neither the time nor the money. So, I just want to tone some things up. I want to lose a few as well, but I know that pregnancy will definitely put that on hold lol (and I don’t mind at all). So, I asked the assessor/trainer what happens during pregnancy. Her response was they adjust lol. She has no idea. I told my husband that I would listen to what our doctor says when the time comes. I know there will be days of bed rest (like after the retrieval and transfer) and times where I myself will be extra cautious or just plain sore. So it may take a while, but I’m all about it.
All of that being said, S. and I still need an answer for our fertility finance question.
And when we know. So too will you!
