I know from experience that when infertility is caused by male factor issues, it's extremely hard to be supportive at times. That's not to say I placed blame on my spouse about this, but I felt really upset that he had the problems and I had to deal with the discomfort, the shots, the embarrassment (come on, we've all hated the fact that infertility leads to a lot of nakedness down there!), the roller coaster of emotions, etc.

Have you felt this emotional response, too? Like, you find it hard at times to support your spouse when you have to endure the physical part of the treatments??

At first they thought it was Male factor (my DH started out at 7 million and is now at 15.7 million!! after surgery for a vericocele) and I never blamed him. Now it's probably me thats causing the lack of pregnancy! I always wondered if I would resent him, but I never did. I hope that he will never resent me for not being able to concieve so quickly!! So far we haven't gone through too many tests, I have an HSG set up for June and an ultra sound on Monday...it gets to be a lot, but I am just going to try and keep reminding myself that its so we can have OUR baby and thats what matters to us...the juice is worth the squeeze.
