    Hugs to you Princess.

    Yay BW on all your good news.....what is a varicocele anyway??

    We have been BDing and are supposed to be doing it today (as per instruictions), but DH is cutting silage and will be ont he tractor almost all day and night, so BDing is gunna be the furtherest thing from his mnd. We DTD yesterday which wasn't needed, but I got a +ve on my OPK yesterday so.....

    We are supposed to BD CD 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 but if we BD CD14, 15, 17, 18, 20 it probably won't matter hey? So long as you are doing it regularly?????

    Ok, from what I've figured out, a testicular varicocele is like a varicose vein in the scrotum. With the extra blood pooling there, the temperature is raised, and it cooks the little guys! The procedure to correct the problem is known as an embolisation, but I haven't yet looked into what it involves. Really should find that out some time, I guess.

    Hayseed, I would imagine that regularly BDing would be fine... if you get one in tonight, great, if not just try to make up for it tomorrow. Good luck!

    Princess, I just want to come and give you the hugest hug... Take care, sweetie.
