Success after IF

I liked it better when my husband didn't know

I honestly liked it better when my husband was clueless about my cycles, when we needed to have sex vs just wanting to have sex, when I would be testing, etc.  Even when we did our IUIs and IVF in the past he remained basically clueless. 

Now, however, he's all over everything and it's driving me crazy.  I guess I would rather the disappointment of testing and getting a negative be all mine rather than him having to deal with it.  Not that he didn't always realize that months and months went by without a pregnancy announcement but it wasn't like it is now where he's counting down the days until I can test.

It's weird that I'm very open regarding our issues and yet this is one thing in which I'd like the details kept from my husband.

Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

Re: I liked it better when my husband didn't know

  • That's interesting b/c I have the opposite experience.  DH doesn't ask where I am in my cycle, when I plan to test, or any of that.  All he really wants/needs to know is the end result.  And I have thought that I would rather have him be more interested in everything along the way...want to trade husbands??  ;)
    Childhood cancer (DH) + chemo + radiation = 0 sperm.
    LO #1 - 1 unmedicated/self-monitored IUI w/ donor sperm.
    LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).
    Life is beautiful!
