I'm sooooo close to O'ing.. I'm going to take an OPK later today, but I know it'll be + & I'm all but sure I'll O either tomorrow or Sunday. Which is great news except DH is sick. That wouldn't be the worst of it. He's been sick for a few days now & we've been BDing (with the exception of yesterday & I was pretty bummed at that.. I'd wanted to BD everyday!). But this morning DH said he thinks he might have PNEUMONIA! He's a paramedic & also works in a hospital so he knows what he's talking about. He's also super conservative when it comes to diagnosing problems & he never takes medicine for ANYTHING. He could have a migraine of a lifetime & will just wait it out. So for him to say that, I know it's bad. I feel really bad for him b/c he seems really down & out. I just had pneumonia this winter & I know it takes a long time to recover from (I was out of work for 3 wks!), but we think if he has it, it's likely walking pneumonia.

Either way though.. this probably means no BDing & I'm already out for this cycle. I'd started out with such high hopes. Now I could cry. I hate to sound selfish. I do feel really sad for DH but I also feel bad about another month down the tubes

I'm so sorry melissa! I hope dh feels better soon.

I've had pneumonia a lot and it is possible to bounce back really fast. I know once I get on the medicine I feel better almost immediately. Maybe you'll still get a chance to BD. Either way I hope he gets to feeling better.

I'm sorry, I hope he feels better soon!

[*becky*]

Oh no!!! I hope it really isn't pneumonia!! Get better soon DH!!

I know how you feel - last cycle we BOTH got sick 2 days before I was scheduled to O. We only got to BD once and I must say it was pathetic! Two sick people should NOT get that physical!!

Perhaps if he rests he can pull of just a quicky??

I hope he feels better so you can actively TTC this cycle!!

(((((Hugs))))

[Lo_and_Behold]

Thanks girls!
I wanted to BD last night & the poor guy was laying in bed & he was like "Babe.. I just don't feel all that attractive coughing up phlegm" LOL I felt like a meanie!

MamaAnna.. Unfortunately, I don't think he'll recover in time for when I O. It should be tomorrow I had pneumonia in Feb & I was laid up for 3 weeks.

Grrrr this is such a bummer. You know what.. moment of inspiration & warning: TMI!! You know what always gets him... wearing a football jersey & that's it. (me not him LOL). Maybe I'll try that tonight. If that doesn't work, I know he's really too sick!! Please keep your fingers, toes, & everything else crossed that we can even just manage a quickie! I don't know what I'll do if I can't at least obsess! LOL What good was all that BDing from cd 8-12 if I don't even O till cd 15!

Awww Melissa, I really hope he feels better soon.
Just tell him that as a Paramedic he should know that physical excercise will help shift it faster,that sweating is what he needs to do.
I hope the football jersey works for you.
Good luck xxxx
Get well soon Melissas DH xxxxxx

[Lo_and_Behold]

LMAO!! hahaha Thanks Meg! I think I'll try out your argument tonight! I'll see if that goes over

[snsgirl336]

Aww, I hope he feels better... and I know what you mean about the football jersey... If I walk into the room wearing a Hockey jersey, I know I'm gonna get some BDing!!! I hope that it works for you!!!

[Chatterbox]

LOL y'all make me laugh. Hun - wear that jersey proudly and just jump him. Tell him that he only has to lay there and you will do all the work. Maybe then he'll be convinced. I hope he feels better, but I hope you get in some BDing too!! Good luck hun.

She has a good point...I hope the jersey works!!

[Jlynn]

I am so sorry your DH is sick I hope he gets to feeling better soon.

You aren't being selfish at all. Another month seems like forever to wait
I would honestly make him lay there while you do all the work

[lauren in hi]

I'm so sorry! I have been in your shoes, though, only in my case it was something happening every month from like Nov. through Feb. causing us not to BD on EWCM days. (back/leg pain & er visits, sick child, injured child, etc.)
