Hubs and I were reflecting about it all over ice cream last night:
Me: "well AF has officially arrived"
Him: "that bitch"
Me: "yep, (pout)"
Him: "I didn't think we had a chance this cycle anyway?"
Me: "but I did ovulate, and we had sex remember?"
Him: "You were gutted and cleaned out like a fish, how could the egg and sperm get cozy with all that going on"
Me: "I guess so, it really would have been a miracle"
Him: "this next cycle is going to be it though. I am quite convinced"
Me: "You think so eh, lucky attempt number 24?"
Him: "It's really more like our first actual attempt with working pipes"
Me: "Yes, and at best there is a 20-25% chance per cycle like any other couple"
Him: "I really do think we'll get lucky, and will even bet another ice cream cone on it."
Me: "OK you're on, but I'm not canceling our next RE appointment to discuss starting the IUI's"
Him: "Fine, but I don't think we'll need the IUI's, you'll see"
This is the same guy who was talking me down a couple of weeks ago from being too optimistic. The roller coaster ride continues as I head down, Hubs riding two cars behind is obviously reaching the top again. I know to hang on, I should be ready for another upswing as my period wraps up and DH will be scheduling time off work well in advance for the IUI just in case.
Best of luck! Glad to hear your DH is excited and positive!

Oh boy you've hit the nail on the head when it comes to the roller coaster ride for both couples! It is just as hard on DH as it is on the Wife.

You were gutted and cleaned out like a fish" made me LMAO. I think your DH (and you) have totally the right approach. Good luck this month!
