Is your DH "with you" on this?

[OTMomma]

Wondering if others have trouble dealing with their dh and fertility issues.

We have been ttc #2 for 13 cycles, it would be 15, except for a medical issue. Anyway, when we first started, dh went along with me, but wasn't really ready for another, after many months he got excited about it. However, I am now just about burnt out on trying. I'm struggeling with religious beliefs that make me reluctant to seek any fertility treatments. I have had blood work done to rule out hypothryriodism- but that's it.
My dh on the other hand, is now gung ho on having another and absolutely can't understand my burn out. We have talked about it, he just doesn't get it.

Oh, dc #1 is 3, we started trying just after she turned 2.

Any insight, experience or comisserations?

Peace,
Laura

I underwent infertility treatments with my last son and my DH didn't understand my being burnt out with all the test and the heartache everytime I got a BFN. I think it is hard for men to understand the emotional rollercoaster that goes along with TTC for so long. This time DH seems to have the same positive attitude while I am so weary with every sign that infertility might be an issue again.

I just want to send a your way and say that I understand what you are going through. It tooks us 18 months + to get pregnant with my 23 month old and that included numerous ultrasounds, other test including a biopsy, and 6 months of Clomid which is a rollercoaster ride in itself.

Hang in there!

Thanks for the hug and commisserating. I hope your next little one is much easier to concieve!

I often wish that me and dh could trade off the whole conception/pregnancy thing. I know if he had to have the babies we would have stopped at one- :LOL

I do remember it being harder on me when we were doing injections, but for the most part, DH has been much less enthused about ttc than I was. He didn't actually want children unless we "happened' to get pregnant (not really a possibility with my PCOS and his ejaculation problems), so the thrust was always from me. Sigh.
