That should give you time to let the friction burns heal. <BR/><BR/>In the meantime- use boxers, not briefs, slacks not jeans, absolutely no hot tubs, cooler showers, have intercourse in the early morning hours rather than in the evenings.<BR/><BR/>After all the findings you've mentioned, I am 103% convinced that stress is "THE" problem. All this timed intercourse, and donating samples business wreaks havoc on a man's (and woman's) libido. Performance and quantity suffers. Lay low, take a break, make love when it feels right, but get off this mechanical "we gotta do it in this window of time" business. <BR/><BR/>We're all cheering for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753223694881775789.post-77238886752111625432008-05-30T03:17:00.000+01:002008-05-30T03:17:00.000+01:00HA!

And they're overachievers in their own fields (doctor & architect, respectively), so you can imagine how they've nearly died trying to "reach for the stars". I was thinking maybe they should've been less uptight and more relaxed? And I didn't want to sound like I'm lecturing because they're older than I am and have more degrees after their names? And that I shouldn't sound so smug because I didn't so much as have to spread my legs apart to have two of my own, just like that?<BR/>But you're not them, and you don't have moral ascendancy over me, and you're way younger than I am...so relax man!<BR/><BR/>Also, when I really find the time to sit down and pour over your blog? You're one great read! Shouldn't you be compiling all these for a book maybe? Most of them are written by frustrated females. Never heard of one by a male author yet. You could make history!<BR/><BR/>Solid fan, man *thumps chest with fist*, solid fan!Dondi Tipleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926957237171710368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753223694881775789.post-28455072608654435272008-05-29T03:31:00.000+01:002008-05-29T03:31:00.000+01:00Well that is lots of good news and you should be d...Well that is lots of good news and you should be darned grateful for it.

Don't know if ET had a cycle followed (ie. temps, daily blood draws during her cycle, ultrasounds on folicles?) I had the tubes checked too(lovely procedure - but then the procedure itself can sometimes boost the chance as it may flush tubes open... TMI, sorry) and the hostile environment test, yup, we were ok there too. , but there was always another set of options/ tests just around the corner.<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you and ET.
