Well, we all know how horrendous the TTC journey can be for us women! ](*,) But I’m interested to know how your DH/DF/DP deals with it. No-one seems to talk about how their men cope so I’d love to hear your stories! I'll start off with a few of mine...
My DH is (in his own words) so clucky it’s not funny! He’s now counting down the days in the dreaded TWW and hates BFN’s (and AF) with a passion! LOL Every morning after I’ve taken my BBT he asks me what it is and coos ‘oooh’ or ‘aaaah’ depending on the result!
Just last weekend took a friend’s plane and did some aerobatic flying (my DH is a pilot/flying instructor…that’s actually how we met, he was my flying instructor ). We had an absolutely amazing time and DH was beaming from ear-to-ear because he doesn’t get the chance to do aerobatics nearly as often as he’d like. Anyway, that night we were watching TV and he saw an ad for the baby expo that was on at Darling Harbour. He couldn’t believe that I hadn’t told him it was on and said that he would happily have given up his whole weekend to take me to the expo :smt058 AWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Last night when we were cleaning our teeth before bed, he got down on his knees in front of me, pulled up my pyjama top and started kissing my tummy, saying that he hoped that his little swimmers had found my egg this month :smt057 AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW God I love that man, he just makes my heart melt.
It’s just so hard because you don’t want to let them down. I know that my DH was crushed last month when AF reared her ugly head. And I know that he’ll be just as crushed this month if we don’t get pregnant He knows what it takes to get pregnant and we’re doing everything possible to make it happen. It’s only our second month actively TTC (I stuffed up my ovulation day in month one so at least I know why we didn’t fall pregnant then! 8-[ ) and I’m sure we’ll still have many months of trying ahead of us. But I just HATE letting him down!
I’m sure a lot of you lovely ladies are in the same boat…your DH/DF/DP gets excited every month only to be let down when AF arrives. At least we can be thankful that we have such wonderful support from our future daddies. There’s a lot of comfort in knowing that they want a bub as much as we do!
Wow, sorry about the mammoth post….got a little carried away there 8-[
I would love to hear anyone else’s stories about how their man copes with TTC! :flower:
How does your man cope with the TTC journey?
