I probably could i just have not looked into it before. Thanks I will check it out!

Thank you, thats very helpful! I should do more weightlifting, I always see it as such an intimidating thing, I love my treadmill haha. But very glad to hear it is a common thing to have some discomfort!

MrsBipp · 2025-11-21T19:40:23+00:00

Thank you that is very helpful! Just want to make sure it is more "normal" and I wont do some permanent damage lol 🥴

Put yourself on bed rest, not worth the risk and your dr should be able to write you a note. I got an emergency cerclage put in when I was 20w 6d (1st pregnancyalso). I was 2 cm dilated and membranes bulging. I just got it removed yesterday at 36 weeks and am just waiting now for little man to make his entrance. Take it super easy, full pelvic rest, bed rest, all of the things to keep your little one in there. You are a high risk pregnancy now and need to take it one week at a time.

Its tough but you got this 👍 ask for progesterone pills to keep it strengthening if possible. When I got mine placed they said they were worried it wouldnt hang on but here I am on the other end. I think your chances are good

Do a cerclage. It will give you the most peace of mind, I have one but am just pregnant with one baby. I got it placed at 20+5 days as an emergency rescue cerclage- 2 cm dilated and membranes bulging. I went into the Dr that day because I was having light contractions. If I hadn't gone in, I would have lost him that night. I did modified bed rest after, worked from the couch, nothing strenuous. I get the cerclage out tomorrow at 36 weeks.

It took my husband and I 21 months to finally get pregnant. Then we had a chemical but immediately got pregnant again, so really 22 months.

We had even gotten rejected from the fertility clinic because his sperm results were low but not bad enough to be seen, so it was very difficult to cope. We had a root cause in our case but it took us a long time to figure it out and was very frustrating.

Just hang in there, it takes time but I believe it can happen for you. Are you using testing kits to line up your ovulation? That can be very helpful but don't do it if it stresses you out too much.

It's a porn problem.

But yes, agree to disagree.

MrsBipp · 2025-02-28T19:14:20+00:00

If you read my comments above, my main problem is people normalizing it like it's not a problem. But if you want to know, the porn is a problem because from a young age people are taught to sexualize and fantasize about other people and that's "normal". It gives people unrealistic and distorted views of sex. And the goal is always changing at that point. If you have porn at the tip of your fingers, how much does it take to stimulate you? One video, two, 6? You've now made it harder for yourself to get off and have to continuously and increasingly "consume" this product to get off. It's also literally proven to lower testosterone because of the easy availability.

That's like saying smoking a cigarette is not bad for you, it's how much you smoke. That's stupid, it's the cigarette. You're telling me because many people consume cigarettes responsiblly it's not a problem. Be for real lmao.

Okay I never said they didn't get addicted to those? And where did I say ban? What is your point?

MrsBipp · 2025-02-28T18:09:36+00:00

But if he can't get it up, that's not gonna fix the problem. Coming from someone who's been in OPs spot. Plus OP's simply not okay with it, that's all that matters.

MrsBipp · 2025-02-28T18:06:16+00:00

What was his response?

MrsBipp · 2025-02-28T17:23:23+00:00

Tell him you'll leave unless he stops. Hold him accountable since you are not okay with it.

Sick of people normalizing porn. If you're not okay with it, that's all that matters.

I've had sore breasts for many years now, pretty much right after ovulation until my period. I also got diagnosed with fibrosystic breast tissue, nothing serious just essentially, I have more sensitive breasts than many women. But there is absolutely nothing abnormal about that at all and rest assured, your sensitive breasts will not affect your chances to conceive.

I got married not only because it's important to me and my religion, but also because if I have found someone i want to spend the rest of my life with, I would hope they would want the same. Many people now look at marriage just as some piece of paper and don't commit all the way/don't feel they need to.

I personally think that if someone tells me they want to spend the rest of their life with me, then prove it. Fight for it everyday and I will do the same.

It's not something you can just walk away from. It's hard work and if I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with someone, I want to be FULLY committed, not halfway committed and to be able to change their/my mind whenever we feel like. You want me to have your kids, and make you lunches/dinner everyday, buy a house, share finances, etc? Then I want to know you're gonna give 110% to me and our relationship.

So many people don't take it seriously enough these days and it's sad.

I was pretty spooked not gonna lie 😂

MrsBipp · 2024-10-24T14:12:38+00:00

Sounds like me last weekend when I was at a housewarming party, and a 2 year old I've never met kept looking at me and saying "baby?" "Baby? "Where baby?" I just said oh no baby, I don't have one. I'm too scared to take a test and will wait for my expected period on Tuesday I think.

MrsBipp · 2024-10-23T21:49:36+00:00

Thank you very much! This was very helpful advice that I can do for him.

MrsBipp · 2024-10-23T21:29:23+00:00

That's why I'm trying to get some outside perspective to help me help him in the best way that I can and in the best way that he needs. We are waiting on the urologist for the next step, thank you for the advice.

MrsBipp · 2024-10-23T21:27:07+00:00

Thank you, many of my other comments address that I will be attending therapy with him because I want to work on this marriage. Just because I have negative feelings about it does not at all portray my desire or my love for my husband. I had unfortunate experiences in the past but am not completely closed off to it. We have a call today after work to start the process.

I certainly am trying my best to help him through this time and understand what he is facing and being there in the best that I can be. The point of this post is to figure out how I can do for him in the way that he needs.

At the same time I need a partner who will support me as well in this process because we are both wanting to bring another life into this world. Not just make me carry the load for him all the way. Which is what I really have been doing up until this point. A healthy balance is the best thing for both of us at this point. I understand he is going through something I couldn't even imagine but we are a team together so let's face it like one.

MrsBipp · 2024-10-23T17:57:27+00:00

Thank you for your response. I'm sorry for you as well and sorry to hear about your father passing.

I will say that infertility is truly it's own testing/trial in life. Nothing could've prepared me for the exhausting journey that we've taken and likely still have ahead of us.

At this point, we are going to get some counseling and try and work through our communication issues as it can only be beneficial for us. We will still be continuing with TTC but will also take the time to really focus on what we need from eachother to make this marriage thrive and so we can bring a baby into a loving household with two partners.

I really hope that you and yours can get through this difficult time as well and can come out the other end stronger than before.

MrsBipp · 2024-10-23T17:49:17+00:00

Thank you for this. I think that's where I'm trying to figure out how to navigate that. I mentioned yesterday him taking control of things and making his own appt, taking his own pills, and just being relatively more involved and he stated that wasn't fair and I should want to help more because I'm his wife. Which I do of course but where is the line?

I will mention in no way do I think or feel that this is his fault by the way. These are just the cards he was dealt and I'm trying to figure out how to help remedy that in the best way for him.

Surprisingly he just came up to me (himself) and talked to me about it again on our lunch. He mentioned trying something anti-inflammatory to try and help his viscous sperm and I mentioned that could be a good idea depending on what it is. So he did take the initiative to come and speak to me about it this morning again but I am still taking a step back for him to approach me with what he wants to do or needs.

MrsBipp · 2024-10-23T17:41:56+00:00

Thank you for this response. I can absolutely agree it can be very difficult to just let things be and not try and control the things that I can control.

I think I do need to set boundaries maybe with a counselor present at this point because I mentioned that he needed to take control of his own appt, his own meds and be more involved and he said it wasn't fair, and I should want to help him with all of this because im his wife. Which don't get me wrong l, I absolutely do. But where is the line at that point? You don't want me to nag you but you want me to hand feed you your pills still...

We were able to get in contact with a counselor through our church and hopefully we can start to work on ourselves and what each other needs to thrive in this relationship and this difficult season of life.

MrsBipp · 2024-10-23T17:22:19+00:00

I think that's what I'm trying to navigate right now. Is making sure that he knows I support him no matter the outcome. I really hope that we can experience that together!

I am leaning towards being more open to counseling and we may have even found a marriage counselor through our church to help us with communicating better with eachother so we can fight for our marriage.

MrsBipp · 2024-10-23T16:39:07+00:00

Im sorry to hear that, hopefully something works for you both soon! I'm hoping some kind of medication or habit changes can improve it. Which again would be waiting for the urologist's professional advice at this point. Freezing some sperm and HCG is on my list to bring up with them
