[quote=Anonymous]I would not assume he's playing out the clock on fertility, OP. We've had 8 miscarriages (starting at age 38) and it has stunned me how little my DH actually knows about female anatomy and fertility. I really think there's stuff that women hear about constantly that just never gets communicated to men so what they don't know is a LOT. Plus, your DH is probably assuming that because you guys already have one kid, it'll be no problem to have the second. This is going to make it difficult to convince him that he needs to learn more about the fertility stuff and to take this conversation about having the 2nd kid more seriously.  Unfortunately, the other problem is that your husband (if he is like mine) probably sees you as biased and may be assuming that anything you say about fertility is simply part of you trying to convince him, not the actual reality. Do you like your ob/gyn, OP? Maybe you can make an appointment with him or her and your DH and just ask your questions about fertility and family planning and see what s/he says. Independent medical advice could bring a lot of reality to this conversation. After you see the doc tho, resist the temptation to convince your DH - do NOT talk about fertility or trying again - and just let the information stew for awhile. He'll come around. [/quote]
