Your husband and TTC...

HopingForOne · April 2011

What is your SO like in regards to trying to get pregnant. Excited? Laid-back? Anxious? Are you the same way, or totally different?

My husband is very much...I don't know, either a huge optimist or in denial about our infertility issues. Just says "it will be fine, just like last time" and "I can still golf when we have a second child, right?" Lol. I'm glad that at least one of us isn't stressed, though, so I'm not really complaining! Just funny how calm he can be while I get worked into knots!

How about you?

Completely relaxed... annoyingly so sometimes! I like to think that I'm a bit anxious, but not completely obsessed.

My DH is very excited. He talks abut it pretty often. He is trying to be positive about the process, but doesn't want to get his hopes up either.

TrendyTina · April 2011

VERY excited. We're not actively TTC, though, so our situation is a little different. I have a feeling if we were having trouble he would be annoyingly laid-back about it.

He is very anxious but I think it has to do with his age.

My husband wants to continually tell me that I'm pregnant every time I smell something or get heartburn. I appreciate his enthusiasm BUT at the same time, it's hard to remain level-headed, not try and find symptoms, and still endure the TWW without him playing doctor : )

DH and I are on the same page about everything. My husband is most concerned with how I will feel when we are pg. When we were pg before (had a miscarriage), I was very sick and felt miserable all day every day from about week 5 until we m/c between 8-9 weeks.

We are both anxious to have a family and celebrate things as a family--I think DH is a bit more patient than I am, though.

Mine is very relaxed, so much so that is frustrates me at times. We had out first appt with an RE a few weeks ago. I was pretty upset at the news we got. When we left, he was pretty calm, and said "yeah, that's about what I expected." He also went on to say..."It's okay, it just means our future child can't go to Disneyland, since he/she will have cost us so much to get here!" Gottta love his sense of humor!

I would def say he is anxious. I think he thought this would be quick.

PrimReaper · April 2011

He flip flops on emotions. Some days he's super excited, others he's really laid back and on days when the girls are acting up, we're both wondering if we REALLY want another.....

mego36 · April 2011

Very relaxed, but at the same time I know that he's anxious. ?Some days it feels like he doesn't care, but others he asks what my temp was as soon as he gets up (usually as AF gets closer)

He doesn't get the disappointment of CD1 (or at least doesn't show it), but I know that he wants a baby just as much as I do.?

My hubby is stressed at times about the pressure of bd'ing around that time but in order to ease his mind and stress, I've opted to not tell him when I'm nearing O time and just have fun with it. It's worked this last month. He seems happier. As for how he feels about having kids, he's very much on board with having kids. He'll be a fantastic father. Big Smile

My husband and I are both excited and anxious to have a baby

In the beginning, he was more relaxed about it all but he wasn't expecting it to take this long.

Melgor78 · April 2011

MH is the relaxed type. He already thinks I'm stressing way to much. I'm taking a "break" this cycle since our timing will probably be off anyway.

griff45 · April 2011

My husband is very relaxed about the whole thing. He is very good about listening to me talk about my chart and my frustrations. I got my first +OPK last night and he was looking at the strips, confirming the + and getting excited with me. He acts like he hates the "work" sex and says that his life is so difficult becasue he has to have sex with his wife

This exactly.

elandric · April 2011

Dh is completely relaxed and just wants me to tell him what to do and how he can help. He asks questions about my chart and temps and is pretty supportive. I feel so lucky he is so great through this.

SheenaNash1 · April 2011

He's a mix of excited and laid back. He thinks all the pre planning that I'm doing is overboard though. He doesn't really "get" the process, he thinks it'll happen fast. Who knows, it might...but it also might not. But he can't wait to be a dad, he's wanted it for a while now.

alibuddha · April 2011

It's been so back and forth. At first, he was relaxed and didn't want to know anything. He just wanted to have sex for fun. If he was reminded that the purpose was to make a baby, he would get out of the mood, and then he said he would rather not know anything about my O dates or fertile times. Well, after not telling him for two months and not getting results, he now wants to have some more insight. He started asking me about my tempatures, which is interesting.

Men are so confusing! On one end, he wants us to get PG and is excited about it, but on the other end, he's relaxed and says not to worry and that it will happen when it's our time.

brookelynpaisley · April 2011

I'd describe him as relaxed but supportive of my neuroses. There was never a question from him about me charting, he's buys me wine on CD1, he gives me hugs when I'm sad. At the same time, he goes by "it'll happen when it happens."

denahamilton@cox.net · April 2011

Very excited! DD1 and DS2 are 4.5 years apart so DH is THRILLED to have 2 closer in age. He is also very excited to trade in my car for a vehicle with 3 rows. lol He gets excited about the silly stuff. But honestly, my husband is the most maternal man I've ever met. He loves his babies more than anything on this green earth. But that doesn't mean he talks about potential baby#3 as much as I do.....neither of us are anxious or stressed about TTC..we have been very blessed with getting pregnant in cycle#1 with both our kids so we are hopeful our luck continues. And if it doesn't...then that just means lots of BDing until it happens. Smile
