Rols I think my DH would agree with you there. Even though the fertility issue was mine, he did say on numerous occasions that he felt completely superfluous to the proceedings, except when he and the cup had to get intimate. He did feel like he wasn't offered or given much support in the process, yet was expected to be supportive and optimistic for me all the time. It definitely took it's toll on him.

I think it's great that you're in here giving us all the male perspective on everything, and if it makes life easier for other men in the process, then that's great too. I think it's really hard on the women, but you don't have to give support to one partner at the expense of the other.

Hello ladies! I'm around, not posting as much but still reading. Just a reminder that I go to Egypt for 12 days as of the 18th of July and will not be online at all during that time.
