hi dear, i can understand how you feel... it's a sensitive issue for most people. for me, my husband told me his issue when we were still in dating period. i was shocked, and i could tell he was very scared to tell me but i tried to make him feel better and just joked and tell him "good i won't be fat". we're very open with our subfertility issue with our family an both sets of parents are aware and very supportive about us going through IVF now.Hi Ladies
It's my first time posting. After intense research on IVF for the past few months, I've finally decided to go for a checkup. My husband and I have been trying to naturally conceive for the past year but it was unsuccessful. I'm doing these research myself and have not approached my husband nor my in-laws regarding this decision for I really don't know how. Can you girls share with me your experience of coaxing your husband into this and were your in-laws aware? I really am in a dilemma of whether or not to tell the people around me like my colleagues, boss and my friends...
i think for your case you haven't done any tests yet, your first step is to do a fertility check up. a lot of clinics offer it as a package. have a heart to heart talk with your husband and tell him maybe it's a good idea for the both of you to do a fertility check up... if you are uncomfortable about it, maybe just keep it between you and your husband first. after all, you do not know what the issue is -- or even if there is an issue. once you get the results from the checkup it will certainly shed some light...
it's good to have a support system in place so to me, i think it's helpful to share the ivf journey with our parents and a few of our very good friends... sure they will always chip in with unsolicited advice and be a bit kaypo but it comes from a place of love.
