Loving the Sweaty Hands and Feet...Not!

Again, not sure if this is a pregnancy sign or if it's the progesterone messing with me again, but I've been dealing with another pleasant side effect lately. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have sweaty hands and feet. Apparently, this is a not-too-uncommon phenomenon for non-pregant folks, and I have Google'd various tips and tricks on how to deal with this unpleasantry. Rubbing antiperspirant on said surfaces is supposed to help, but I'm afraid the chalky substance all over my laptop's keyboard would just be too icky. One lady even wrote about putting a pantiliner in your shoes. Discreet AND absorbent! Oh, my.

I know this is a pregnancy symptom, so if this is my plight and I am in fact PG, bring it on. I'll deal with it. But if this is just another stinkin' side effect and nasty AF arrives - that will just plain suck! Been feeling particularly hormonal, too. I did put hubby on notice about this the other day, when it was coming on strong. Tonight, I just feel depressed. Really depressed. It's a bit of a pity party, and it doesn't help that I watched a 2-hour recap of 9/11 and followed that up with another sad rerun of Grey's Anatomy. That show, and ER, always make me ball like a school-girl. Oh, and I'm listening to Vonda Sheperd and Norah Roberts right now. Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment. Deep breath...I need to go hug my dog.

9/11, Grey's and sad music? Sweetie, you need to hug that dog and get a big bowl of ice cream and read the Sunday comics!

I hope those are pg symptoms!

hey.. I found your page by doing a search for azoospermia. My husband has the same problem and we just found out about two weeks ago. I was wondering if your husband went to see a specialist? I am trying to talk my husband into at the time but to no avail yet. He saw a urologist in our town that told him he had a zero sperm count. My husband said it was such a humiliating experience that he never wants to go through it again. But I found an article on the internet the other day talking about a couple that had the same problem (the man had a zero sperm count) but the doctors performed a new procedure by sticking small needles in the testicles (the man is numbed, first) and aspirating out sperm. He didn't have any sperm in his semen on his sperm analysis, but he was producing it a little in his testicles. The doctors then performed in-vitro on his wife and they ended up having triplets. I wonder if this could work for my husband, but I can't seem to make him want to see a specialist. So I was wondering if you guys ever saw one and if there are any options for the guys with zero sperm counts. I am glad to find someone else on here that is going through the same situation- it's hard to find blogs that talk about male-factor infertility on here. Sorry to ramble on, but I would really appreciate any info. that you may have. I will be praying for you and your husband.
