Hopeful and Prepared

4 dpo -- So, just in case . . . . from my dear friends on FF, all it takes is one. After learning of what obstacles lie ahead for our journey to parenthood, at first glance the path seemed so steep that it would be impossible to climb. Having .5% normal morphology sperm will often appear as a wall rather than a path, but sometimes you have to look with a different set of eyes. The negative eye will say "no" its not possible, that's too steep, it might as well be a wall. The faithful eye sees the same obstacle and says "hmmm, no sense in trying to walk through that, instead, let's make some notches here and there, not too big, but so that now we have footholds and handholds and with some effort, we can." The notches are the FertilAid I now have DH on, to help with his count and morphology. Its the antibiotics my Dr put him on to get rid of the white blood cells. Its the procedures I've done to make sure we know how high we have to go. Its the help that we're seeking and getting from so many that is making a wall, a path.

So, yes, I am 4 dpo and yesterday I felt a sharp poke in my right side. Certainly, it could be gas. When you're so keen on every little blood cell movement little things can seem bigger than they are. I am well aware what our chances are at conceiving naturally, we are seeking help, but for this cycle, DH and I bd'ed au naturale. If by chance, one, one sperm in the thousand we have available for us made to the egg, well than, I can be hopeful that my poke was something. If by chance, it was gas or nothing but the innerworkings of my digestive tract, than I am prepared for that, too.

But hopeful and prepared is a feasible way to TTC. Good luck, and FTTA.
