thy deed is done

 i took a hot bath. i watched something to get me in the mood. he started without me. all that was a good combination. because the sex was ******g painful. it was slippery this time but i was so bloated that every thrust was like a punch in the stomach. but dammit we did it!

i started progesterone today. and now its a waiting game.

Oh the waiting game. The worse part of the cycle...kinda. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you. I am in the waiting game as well right now. Maybe it will happen for us this cycle. :)

Sorry it was so tough! Sometimes "trying for a baby sex" isn't very good sex, but hopefully it worked.

 you're telling me.  

How romantic, lol!  Not quite the blissful "where do babies come from" moment we all envision.  I'd leave this one out of the baby book :)  Good luck! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Sorry it was rough, Meli.  I don't know what would be worse... your experience or the highly clinical and NOT romantic scene that my DW and I went through for 6 cycles doing home IUI with fresh donations and then the IVF in a surgical center with docs & nurses!  So not romantic at all!  But hey... it finally worked for me.  You'll get there.  Good luck in these 2 wks.

 yeah i'm sick of people giving me this face saying "oh gosh, thats not romantic" or "thats not really the way you want to get pregnant" or "why even do it if you're not into it"

you gotta do what you gotta do. shee****s not like in the movies. we'd all like to get pregnant the romantic passionate way but when it comes down to it, i just want to get pregnant.

Girl you are preaching to choir with that one!!!! 

 I'm coming into this conversation late but why is it so painful...?

 i guess because the clomid made me really bloated and gave me really bad cramps like i've never had before. and the last thing i wanted was intercourse. so it was painful. like being punch in the bloated stomach over and over again.
