Stepping off the teacup ride this month.

This month DH decided we would get off the ride and take a break, take a break from ttc. We did not bd at all this month. Sad face for me, but I understood where he was coming from -- DH's varicocelectomy was scheduled for the 11th and he felt with the latest SA which was worse, that it wasn't worth the heartbreak at the end of the month. Our prayers would go instead to a safe and successful surgery with a speedy recovery. In the meantime since my DH is restricted from lifting 10lbs or greater for the next 6 weeks, we busted our butts getting our house ready for sale. We retiled our hall bathroom and revamped our front yard landscaping. It was so nice to be working side by side with DH for two weeks and then we had the week together for his recovery. That was harder. Its hard to see your provider, your strong man, crippled with pain and immobility. His was one of the most severe cases our 5th rated urologist in the nation has dealt with. I give the ranking to illustrate, this is all he does, fertility issues and he's no small fish, he must've seen lots of varicoceles and it was a heart crushing statement and one endowed with hope. He explained to us the more severe a varicocele, the greater chance for improvement when its repaired. Well, we're either shot in the foot or we're going to have wonderful improvement chances. We opt to HOPE. I logged on to just give the update on where I've been and that we didn't try this month, or most likely next month, DH is still very sore and there is still lots of swelling. And to my bliss, a friend from FF that I follow posted she got her BFP!!!! That just lifts my spirits so high. I know it will lift DH's also. My FF cb just had her surgery also and is doing well, which also makes me feel better. I can't stand people in pain. That's why I'm not a doctor -- I'd just cry with them rather than be able to help them. Anyway, I hope my CB is now past her obstacle and she holds my place line on the next rollercoaster, I'm gonna try and push her off the teacups and hope she drags me with her. :) Love you CB!
