[quote=Anonymous]I do think counseling would be helpful, for pretty much anyone dealing with infertility really. I need to do it myself but have been slacking... Your husband sounds a lot like mine (and I agree with the PPs that this is an unfortunately common dynamic). He protects his own emotional state by not engaging with me on my feelings unless I really speak up and make him listen to me. In my opinion, the emotional stuff is the way bigger challenge than the physical. You can take yourself to appointments and give yourself shots. (Look for previous threads about the shots, you'll find a lot of us were freaked out about them ahead of time, but found they are not hard! Especially if you are doing subcutaneous shots for an egg retrieval, it's really not that bad.) So I would focus on that emotional connection and support, with professional help if need be. Good luck![/quote]
