This oven has no electricity so the bakery is closed.

@babycanuck: Oh friend.
What's going on?
-
@MrsMcD: hubs won't do medical intervention because for him "unexplained" means we are fine so I've succumbed to the fact that it probably won't happen. We won't use protection anymore but I'm no longer actively trying. My mental and emotional health is more important.
-
@babycanuck: Aww, I'm sorry. Sending lots of hugs your way. So would you consider getting a second opinion so you can try to get a diagnosis? If he is hung up on this unexplained, that's what I would do.
-
@bluestriped bee: I had an appt somewhere else and in a rage he told me to cancel it. If he won't go there's no point. I need the support.
Eta part of it was getting ready for iui. He felt bullied by me to do it when he doesn't want to.
-
@babycanuck: *hugs*
I don't know what advice to offer... I really hate that your husband has made this so difficult (way more difficult than it has to be). Maybe couples counselling would be a good next step?
-
@babycanuck: I've seen you post a little about this before but can you fill me in a bit. Who has the "unexplained" issue? You or him?
-
@pui: very tough. Yes. Mr Macho won't do counselling so that's out and why I'm just trying to become a sane person and not the crazy bitch I am when ttc.
-
@MrsMcD: me. His SA was fine. My internals, blood work and hsg were all fine. No blockages. No red flags.
-
@babycanuck: If you ever need someone to talk to, please get in contact with me. We don't live far from each other, so maybe we could even meet up some time.
-
@babycanuck: *Big hugs* No advise like everyone else said... I'm here to listen. It sounds like you are taking some good steps but I agree with others maybe advise from a third party will help your DH come around.
-
@babycanuck: I'm sorry. Big hugs
-
@babycanuck: I'm so very sorry. What would be your next step? It seems like you could take clomid without your husband's involvement. I'm mean... I'm not one to be tricky. But your husband does want a baby. And clomid is just a little medication. Have you considered trying that?
-
@MrsMcD: I have. The first dr I saw said they generally only give those meds to people who don't have normal cycles or not ovulating. I'm pretty much normal 26-28 days so her recommendation was to go right to iui.
-
@babycanuck: Ugh. I'm so very sorry. Maybe your guy will come around sometime in the future. That's such a hard place to be - when you both are on different pages. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts. And seriously... you should keep trying. I know so many people that just required a couple of years and then one day they were pregnant.
-
@babycanuck: Is it possible you have just had bad luck till now? I don't really know your story sorry about that! But even with perfect timing your chances are still 25%.
-
@babycanuck: I'm sorry your DH is not providing you with the support you wish to have. FX that your BFP will happen without the medicated assistance. And if not, FX that your DH will be more open to discussing his feelings with you.
-
@babycanuck: Aww, I'm so so sorry. Did you call the new clinic and see if they can just look at your results? Why was your DH so angry with getting a second opinion? You can tell the new clinic that your DH refuses do further testing and they can look at your past SA.
Does he need to talk to my DH?
I get this feeling that maybe he is afraid of getting a diagnosis where he is the cause.
As for you, are you going to counseling? It might help you to talk this over with someone. I really want you to get the support you need. Thinking of you!!
-
@ttcgirl: No such luck
My RE decided it would be a good month for testing and HSG instead! All my testing and levels came back normal or "great" and I'm waiting on the HSG report. If all is well, we'll start over with the IUI process in May, doing 3 of them! Good luck with this upcoming cycle!! Fingers crossed! @babycanuck: Hugs to you. I'm so sorry this process is causing a divide. Thinking Of you
-
@bluestriped bee: I wasn't sure if they would take the time to review my results and just that. The appointment was 3 months away, which also caused me a lot of anxiety. His SA testing was good and the doctor was not concerned about his results at all.
I haven't gone to a counsellor yet. I know that we have some differences but it always ends up with him being the bad guy. He has his reasoning, he just doesn't share. It's not fair to me by any means, but I can't change him. I do, however, need to get over my resentment of the people in his family and mine that have no issues getting pregnant. I have a lot of anger towards his brother, who has only been with his wife for 3 years and they have a baby, when we've been together for 12. That's my own fault, and I need to work on that. It's not the baby's fault.
-
@babycanuck: ((Hugs)) I hate that you're going through this...
@Kelli_Deluxe: That's where we're at now! Moving forward with IUI this month/cycle.
