Are you in therapy? It sounds like you are having a rough time (maybe your husband is too). If your spouse is your only emotional support, it may be too much for him. I don't think you should have to go to your sister's baby shower when you are struggling. If she is not a person who can understand why this is difficult for you, just tell her that you have a stomach bug.

You are unnecessarily mean. What possessed you to post this?

I think your infertility is a f'd up blessing in your case. Do not have children with this person! What a horrific husband/partner/future father.

Why do you do this? To sound more fertile? My best friend told me she got pregnant on her first try after she knew it took me 2 years. I’m happy for her, but why she thought I needed to know that was beyond me. It’s not like I asked her what position she was in when she conceived.

Get rid of this man. Added bonus that it may increase your chances of having a child if the current issue is male factor infertility from him. Sorry don’t mean to sound cold.

How old are you?

Maybe it’s a blessing you haven’t pro created with this guy. He doesn’t sound like a nice or sympathetic person.

Oh that’s so hard! Can you get out of it? This is the downside to struggling in silence, but only you know if your sister is a safe person.

I’m so sorry. When I have been struggling to conceive, days like that have been torture. I wish you a peaceful day. You will get to the other side. One foot in front of the other.

Apparently I’m hosting the games. This is my younger sister who got pregnant at first try 5 months after marriage. I want to cry. I’ve been a mess since yesterday.
