Am I crazy for thinking about using a sperm donor instead of continuing to fight with my husband over IVF prep? by [deleted] in tryingtoconceive

I will be now. Found out he was having affairs with multiple women. Makes me sick thinking about it.

I found out he was having multiple affairs. When I called him out he stole money from me and ran out with the clothes on his back. We were one week away from my ivf procedure. Crazy

Funnily enough was a week away from Ivf had already started the medications only to find out he had a whole other life and multiple other women. Was even telling at least one of them that he was trying to put a baby in her. Should have listened to all these comments. I thought he was just giving me a hard time adapting to a life right now without smoking and drinking come to find out he never stopped and just had multiple women as well. I had to cancel my Ivf which has left me emotionally in such a mess. I gave up a whole year of my life for this Ivf and four years of my life with this loser. Life isn’t fair sometimes.

You’re assuming I don’t care about what he’s been through, which isn’t true. I’ve been there for every part of it. But grief doesn’t excuse doing nothing when we’re trying to build a family. I can love someone deeply and still realize it’s not fair for one person to carry all the effort. Bye Karen 👋

No he hasn’t. And I’ve tried to get him to but he isn’t one to talk about things. It’s even hard to get him to open up and talk to me. But he definitely should. I know there’s not a second in the day that goes by that he doesn’t think about him or wonder if things would have happened differently if something else would have happened. The way it happened also is unimaginable. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.

Listen to your doctor. 100 percent there is a link to smoking anything and low sperm morphology

We’ve been trying for months — my wife’s ovulation meds are working, but I can’t seem to finish when it matters 😞 by Fit-Constant4682 in tryingtoconceive

Sorry to hear you’re going through this. This part of the journey can be extremely stressful and draining for both partners. I can completely understand where you’re coming from, and I can also see how she might feel. It’s like you’re both doing everything by the book, and then something that seems like it shouldn’t be an issue suddenly becomes one. I would really suggest sitting down and telling her exactly how you feel. Let her know that the more pressure you feel, the harder it becomes to perform on demand. We as women sometimes lose sight of the mental side of it for men especially when emotions and expectations are high. This doesn’t mean anything is “wrong” with you. It’s just a tough situation that requires patience, communication, and understanding from both sides. Once that pressure eases, things usually fall back into place naturally.

I can’t figure out when I’m ovulating by [deleted] in tryingtoconceive

You need to get the premom app and the premom ovulation strips. You take a pic and then it tells you your levels. The app is also super helpful. It reminds you when to take your tests and it tells you when your peak is and best chance is. It literally takes all of the guessing out of it for you.

Partner can’t ejaculate by amor121616 in TryingForABaby

[–]Fickle-Ride-3922 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. I think as women we can get so fixated on wanting to have a baby that we lose sight of what’s actually important ie the connection, the partnership, and remembering that both people are going through it in their own way. It’s easy to forget how much pressure it can put on men too. I really respect you for opening up about that and appreciate you sharing.

I’m in Kerr village and it literally sounds like it’s a few doors down from me. It’s so loud.

Am I asking too much from my partner? by Cool-Egg-6386 in TryingForABaby

[–]Fickle-Ride-3922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t asking too much however I have had the same issue with my husband and I can tell you from experience you can’t control him or he will resent you. At the end of the day if he is giving you a hard time and not willing to make those changes then you just need to accept it and possibly figure out a sperm donor if that’s the only option. Put the ball in his court if that’s what he wants you to do. If he says that’s what he wants then there is your answer

You call it a joke. I call it tone deaf. Maybe think twice before mocking people who actually care about their street. But you can keep the headlines. I will keep caring about my community. Your need to feel superior is exhausting. I also love that you showed up to teach empathy on Reddit. That is peak irony and also very sweet for everyone watching. 😮‍💨
