How involved is DH in TTC?
Besides the fact that it takes two for you to have sex. What other ways is DH involved? My DH for a long time wasn't ready to have kids and then decided this was the month (I have been ready forever). Now DH is really involved. He knows I have fertile CM for 10 days, so he suggested we have sex other every day so we don't get tired before I O. I know I am on cycle #1. So was your DH involved from the beginning and how?
DS has acid relux and milk protein allergy, and had torticollis, used to EP,
now we FF .

Re: How involved is DH in TTC?
He provides the sperm......
bwaahhhaaaaaaaa
he's as involved as i want him to be. sometimes i get emotional/hormonal and feel like he doesn't care, but he does.
i try not to share the "gross" stuff with him. unless i have to. he is up for whatever I suggest

My dh is very involved but we are working with an RE now.
Before we started fertility treatments, I showed him my chart every morning and he said things like "looks cool". Basically, he was involved to the extent that he always knew what was going on but he didn't have much to add.
I will also say that he has been amazing about everything, especially now that we are seeing an RE. He is always a good sport about making his "deposit" for our IUIs, and is incredibly supportive during the 2ww. He has also been encouraging about things like acupunture and visualization, which isn't normally his thing.
It took 5 failed IUIs and a failed IVF, but our FET worked!
My pregnancy after Infertility Blog
Our baby girl was born on April 27, 2011!
The first month we TTC, DH freaked out and we were both upset because he didnt know if we could do it, etc. But now he is all for it. The other day, I mentioned maybe taking an OPK, and he said "it is too early, you still have at least 2 days, you didnt start last cycle until CD8." It was too cute. He used to get mad that I would say, tonights the night, come on, but this cycle was honestly the best for us. Sex every other day and the 2 days I had eggwhite (which was a nice surprise) we BD. But preseed was our best friend, and we both loved it. He had no issues with it

This. He comes from a big fertile family so he thinks all of this is crazy, even after a year+ of letting it happen and nothing. He supports me when I need it and he listens when I feel like telling him what I learned but he doesn't really care. He believes it will just happen.
This. He's gotten more involved each cycle. He's very supportive, but I don't get too specific with him.
This. He is reaserching a little more though these days and is asking more questions. I stopped talking about O'ing because I could tell it wasnt has romantic for him and he really want's it to be special when we finally are able to make a baby....
Very. He loves charts, so he really likes to analyze my FF chart.
I definitely appreciate his involvement and that I know he's 100% on board. Yesterday was CD 1, and he got really discouraged. I was the one reassuring him, which is not usually the case.
One thing that irks me is that he gets on my case if I want to have a glass of wine. I am not a big drinker, but I do enjoy a lil vino with dinner. I know some people completely abstain while TTC, but I'm a "drink til it's pink" kinda gal.
