If sperm take 72 days to form....

So funny, your poor DH will be running past you with a towel on so you can't inspect him on the way out of the shower!!

I know! He is feeling invaded. I keep telling him it will all be over soon!

I don't know about you guys, but my DH is starting to get annoyed with my constant temperature monitoring of his balls. I am specifically hoping this is our month because he will start dancing again in a week and then he has to wear the heat-inducing dancebelt (like a jockstrap for dancers so their package looks smooth under tights and stays in place when dancing) and then I really will be afraid that his sperm are all dead.

Haha you learn something new every day!

Don't forget, Natalie Portman just had a baby boy with a ballet dancer!!

My DH would be all "WHY ARE YOU STARING AT MY BALLS?" Then I would have to punish him by getting out the ruling and making sharpie marks on his legs. "They are a 1/2 inch longer today!"

You are right, I totally took note of that! Although, you never know if he was dancing much when they conceived. And interestingly, I have taken a poll of every male dancer we know with children (there are not many, they are usually gay or players), and ALL have girls. That's where my dancebelt theory came from.

Lola, I actually was a bit embarrassed when she announced her baby's gender because I had been pretty vocal in claiming that I thought she was having a girl, for that very reason!!!

Then my husband showed me this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8e6-IeQ0aw (note - this is kinda raunchy!!) and I was like, yeah, that's a boy mom all right! (I AM KIDDING.)

I thought she'd have a girl, too! But you know what I was thinking, I believe they conceived after wrapping Black Swan, so I bet she was eating like a madwoman since she probably had to have a very restrictive diet during filming to get that thin. OMG that rapping is hilarious, I remember seeing that live (SNL is one of my fave shows) and DYING! She is one of my favorite actresses, so versatile!

That is what my good friend Cultured Pearl (who is freaking amazing at celebrity gender guesses) said too. She guessed boy for Natalie because she had just been working out a lot and dieting, then relaxed and conceived. Not only that but supposedly her performance is a major accomplishment which could potentially raise T as well.

This is awesome it's been 100+ even reached 106 here, to make you feel better we conceived ds1 and ds2 in March and April and that's 80+ degree weather for us, we don't really get a winter here more like fall weather for 4mos then summer again lol

Good point about the T also, Atomic!

Okay, another question about this...

We went to the hot springs July 22 & 23. 72 days from that is Oct 3 (I just counted!). SO, is the whole 72 days thing exact, or what? I mean, on day 73, those sperm are gone (as long as they are "released into the wild"?). I am guessing that those swimmers were probably damaged by the hot water, right? So as long as I O after that, I should be okay for the month? I think I will probably O around the 5th or 6th, so it will be close... I know we are sort of rehashing the same thing over and over here, but I just remembered the hot springs today and was panicking!
