A funny thing happened on the way to the mattress store

Yesterday my husband and I ventured to the mattress store to lay on a few beds. My  mattress is over 10 years old and hubs doesn't even remember when his parents bought his mattress (he was still in high school). Yikes we have some old mattresses. No wonder my back always hurts in the morning. Anyway we were in the car and I was scratching my back, where my bra elastic was digging into me, when hubs says out of nowhere "ooh are your boobs itchy?", what an odd comment.

"Excuse me, where did that come from?" I replied.

"Well it is an early pregnancy sign to have itchy boobs"

"How do you know it's an early pregnancy sign", I asked

"At night while you are sleeping I have been reading on the internet to look for signs"

I almost started bawling right then in the car. Hubs has not once in the 2 years we have been trying to conceive EVER looked up anything about the process. I was so stunned that he has been doing research. I tried for months and months to get him to research IUI because he kept asking me the same questions over and over again. I woke up this morning and his Expectant Father book, that I bought about 18 months ago was on the couch. He was reading that too. Where is my husband and who is this body snatcher living in my house? I think I will keep this one though.

Anyway, we got a new mattress and it will be delivered tonight. I can't wait to get a good nights sleep for once.

On to cycle 16

I tested this morning and got another BFN! I didn't really expect it to be anything else. I am so over not succeeding at this. TTC is by far the hardest thing I have ever had to face and for dh and I as a couple. I have already called the doctors office to call me Monday morning to discuss starting the Clomid this cycle. I know she wanted to wait until DH has his SA done but that could be another few months. His insurance is not being handled quickly from the HR people and we still have not received his insurance card in the mail. The only testing facility that accepts SA's is an hour away. I am really at loss right now on what to do or where to go from here. I never would have guess that it would take more than 16 months to get pregnant when so many women get pregnant after a one night stand, etc. I will post again when I here from the doctors office.
