So this morning I scheduled my genetic testing appointment. (If you hang on through the following description, I promise you a sexy story!) Tomorrow morning, they are going to stick a needle up through my vag, past my cervix, into my uterus and insert it into my placenta. From there, they will collect a small amount of cells that should determine the genotype of this little human I'm incubating. I chose this method, CVS or chorionic villus sampling over the alternative, amniocentesis, because it can be done sooner. This is important in my case because I know that if the fetus is carrying the unbalanced translocated chromosomes that it's more than likely not compatible with life and therefore I will terminate the pregnancy. When termination is on the table, it is better to do this earlier rather than later. Since it takes two weeks to get results from either method, it puts you much further into the pregnancy before you get the information to base your decision on. The earliest an amnio can be performed is at 16 weeks. That would put me at 18 weeks at the earliest before I could make the decision and follow through to terminate. This would also put me smack dab in the middle of the Christmas season to kill my broken fetus, if it were to come to that. It is also important to me that a decision be made before I start to feel the thing moving. I don't want to feel the fetus wriggling around knowing it was on death row. I'm a strong person and I've always known that termination was a possibility for me, but lets make it as easy as possible, shall we? In addition, the sooner the procedure is performed, the less overall risks there are to my health.
This is heavy stuff. I'm a bit anxious about this. Because of the timing of the appointment, I'll be going alone. I expect that the procedure itself won't be much different in practice compared to the hysterosalpingogram I had in January, so I'm not too worried about that. I am however, nervous about the 1 in 200 risk of miscarriage and facing that after working 12 hours and getting little sleep.
When my husband approached me in the way that says, "I expect sex now." I kind of freaked out. My anxiety and tiredness and pregnancy hormones sent me into a tirade which ended with me in the shower after yelling that I would be sure to fuck him. While in the shower I unpacked and aired my anxiety and what it is really related to and came up with a good solution. Since it seems a poor idea to have sex this morning, less than 24 hours from the CVS, I offered to suck his cock instead.
He was skeptical. I told him to watch porn while I did so. He reluctantly agreed. I knelt in front of him at his computer and he watched a vanilla amateurish porn of man and a big-titted blonde woman. This was not a very long blow job. I found myself relaxing and getting turned on as I did my thing. The subservient and submissive aspect of it turned me on.
It's a simple thing, but it was new to us and it was fun. It also helped me make up for being a raging irrational misdirecting bitch a few minutes before. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why sex is important for marriages.
Whatever happens with the pregnancy, I will blog about it here. If termination becomes something we face, this blog is the only outlet I have to discuss it publicly. In my profession, I would be judged harshly and I draw the line at what I will put myself through. However, I will always be open and honest in this forum.
