It wasn‘t the most fun thing in the world, but my side of things was WAY easier than my wife‘s side. I mean she has a ton more physical and mental struggles than me, so I es Just there to be supportive.
My wife and I make a perfect couple, but we were perfectly incompatible to conceive naturally.
My wife was the first “target” for checkups, until I became more vocal about getting tested myself. The doctor’s response? They hadn’t want to bring it up, because it often provokes an emotional reaction.
All in all, it’s hard, seeing your partner having to go through it all. The best thing to do, is try and be the best, most supportive version you can muster any day.
It’s soul destroying if I’m being honest. Month after month of disappointment, holding onto hope as the years slip away – meanwhile some of your peers make the decision to start or grow their family, and they’re pregnant the following month.
I’m very, very lucky we eventually had not 1, but 2 awesome kids. There’s hope.
My wife and I are in early stages and some of the tests for her are not producing the results you hope for. So that is adding a lot of stress on her as she has follow up appointments, more tests coming etc.
I’m not feeling that sense of “dread” she may be feeling but I can see it is affecting her and I hate seeing my wife unhappy. So that affects me.
I’m sure of this doesn’t go our way it’s going to hit me at some point.
My wife is scared of needles and did not handle the pain well. It was fucking awful to give the injections to her. She was scared to tears every time, it was very taxing to navigate around this. Her will, my will , her tears. How do you remind someone of the end goal when that person wants to do it and also run away and at the same time be the one to inflict the pain she was scared of. I haven’t talked about it before, but it was awful.
But! We were very lucky and managed on the first round, as well as the first attempt for our second child with frozen eggs harvested from the first round. So my wife only made one round of injections for two children. (Theoretically our snd born could have been ”conceived” first and could be considered older).
