[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk with him about it about again and again. What happens if you cry and tell him about your issues. In all likelihood the issue probably isn't his if SA came back normal. If he feels like he is supporting you and helping you will he be more apt to go through with it?

I think it can be more difficult for men when it is planned out rather than spontaneously happening. It gives him more of a chance to think and get scared. [/quote]

Yes, I think you are right. He is maybe taking a general male tendency to an annoying level.

I can't really cry on command, but I have told him how I feel many times. Maybe I have been a little too clinical in explaining things and should just say "please support me in this thing that matters to me." And then say it again...

I mentioned in my first post that I had polyps removed in October. The Dr. thought that might help conception, but he wasn't optimistic about it. Other than that, our infertility is unexplained, which I understand is fairly common. There isn't always an identifiable reason.

I have been using the CB monitor for almost a year, so I don't think timing is an issue.[/quote]

Unexplained is VERY common.  Would your husband consider going to an infertility support group like Resolve?  Then it's not "therapy" but it gives him a chance to hear and see that there are tons of other people out there who go through this.[/quote]
