cycle 8, day 22

well, the good news is that my hormonal symptoms subsided after a couple of days this month. of course, then i just got normal sick, thanks to the crazy germs flying around my school the past couple of weeks. i was just exhausted and achy for a couple of days, but one half day to stay home and a couple good nights of sleep seemed to do the trick. so i've actually been pretty good at not obsessing about the two-week wait this time around. sadly, i do think this is also because i've convinced myself that something is "wrong," but i'm not terribly upset about it at the moment because i have an Action Plan. so i'm not in a bad place, overall.

i had my blood drawn today to check my hormone levels, and the hubby is going in for his semen analysis tomorrow. i'm supposed to call for the blood test results on friday, so we'll see if that tells us anything. the hubby is really anxious about what awaits him tomorrow; i'm trying to be sympathetic, because i do understand how weird the whole scenario must be, but at the same time it's just so much simpler for him. this one test should tell us everything we need to know on his end. there's so many more things that could be going on with me. but there's no use minimizing his experience, because it's his experience and i know he'll be freaked out no matter what. but i'm secretly excited to hear all the gory details once it's over... i really want to know what kind of "visuals" he'll be provided with to speed the process along! ha!
