well i sort of know how yu feel. my dh had a vas now his swimmers are trapped, so only way of getting preg is thru a big needle and IVF/ ICSI.
after our first IVF, going thru the needles and everything else for me, we had 11 eggs, 7 fertilised an all a BFN, thru fresh and frozen tfers.
i was so emotional after every BFN that when we used up our last frosty he said NO more.
i was devestated.
i cried so much.
anyway he finally caved and said one more time but we're having a big break for 7 months, so oct this year for next cycle.
good luck and he might come around. wishing you the best.
I cna understand how you feel Bec. DH said this once to me too. It was a few years ago now and while I didn't realise it at the time he did have his reasons and in hindsight most of them were valid and he did come around to my way of thinking again later - after an agreed break.
I think that what you need to do is sit down with him (without the kids around etc) and discuss why he is feeling like this. You will probably find that he isn't trying to be cruel or mean - he just probably isn't very good at expressing himself.
My DH did it because I had turned into a psycho TTCing woman and he didn't even recognise me and figured that the only way to change was to "refuse his services" so to speak. I wanted to scratch his eyes out at the time but now realise that he was right and I wasn't in a good place for the journey that we were travelling.
I wish you luck. But I think that what you really need to do is chat with him, and maybe have some counselling either together or seperately to work out what you both really want.
I am sorry this is happening to you, sometimes men can be very immature and selfish, they dont realise that the end result is so worth it. My psych said that an attitude such as your DH's just shows that he is immature in his thinking and selfish.
I have left my DH because of similar reasons, he refuses to ever have another baby, mainly cause TTC is too stressful.
I hope you can sort things through with DH and convince him TTC is worth pursueing x
Thanks again all, it s now 6 days since our fight and nothing has changed. Im about to OV any day soon AND im on Clomid,how crap is that,i put myself thru all the hard stuff and he now decides NO MORE!
