First the bad news - my husband just pulled out of our driveway to head to the airport to fly to France for work. He came home from work last night and asked me so when do you think you'll ovulate....and I said well maybe this weekend. He said well I have to fly to France tomorrow so we're not going to be able to do the IUI if you do ovulate. I'm like "oh that's just fabulous". All of his international work trips are out of the blue like that. He'll go to work one day and they tell him to get on a plane the next (or sometimes that same day) and he's gone. Hopefully he'll only be gone for a week, but I'm expecting it will be 2 weeks.
Now to the good news - he agreed to do IVF again!!! Yippeee. Now it's not like he was all excited about it, but he is the one who brought up the subject. He said "I've been thinking and I'm wondering if, because of your age, we should just go ahead and do IVF, you're the one who has to get the shots and if you don't mind....". I acted all calm and non-chalant and told him we can see how my follicle count is next cycle and if it's a lot, then yes let's go for IVF. I was actually able to tell him that I'd like to do IVF at least twice more with this new doctor before we talked about any other options (adoption or donor eggs), but I did tell him that I am totally open to donor eggs. We didn't talk more about those future plan Bs, but at least he finally came around and is willing to do another round of IVF! I'm going to call today or tomorrow and get my meds ordered. I am also going to use the OPKs this weekend just to see if I'm actually going to ovulate or not so I can estimate when my next cycle is going to start. I'm hoping it doesn't start for at least 2 more weeks for a couple of reasons 1) so I can get him home from France and 2) so I can get my insurance all straightened around. My doctor needs a predermination of benefits letter and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas still hasn't completed that, although they say they are in the process of doing so.
I feel like maybe God had a hand in all of this from a timing perspective. Maybe He purposely put some road blocks in our paths for this month so that it would all fall into place for next month, we'll see.
Oh and the other good news - I get to sleep with my cats while hubby is away...shhhhh we won't tell him.

YAY what good news!! IVF here you come & BFP here you come!! Sorry that DH is going to be gone, but you have so much to look forward to.
Have fun snuggling with your kitties.
That is great news! YAY for IVF, here's hoping you only have to do it once!
Yay for his willingness to consider IVF again! My only question was...any chance you could join hubby on his business trip to France?? ;)
I am so glad your hubby agreed to do IVF. Personally, I've had 4 IUI's...and my "personal opinion" is "WHAT A WASTE! Waste of time, money, and false hope." I am so glad that your husband changed his mind~
V pleased for you! I think men just take longer to get there. I leave my hubbie to it and he generally comes around...eventually!
Enjoy having the bed to yourself and your kitties. Nothing better! xxx
Yippi. I am so glad to hear he came around.
I wish you the best of luck and hope your husband will be back soon. I understand your frustration. My husband leaves for China for work in a few days and it's right when I'll find out if our last IUI worked and am starting IVF.
oh yeah...I think I may be sleeping with my puppy while he's gone too!
Lovely news.
Wishing you a smooth and successful cycle,
J
