Where to start?..
My husband is the most wonderful person in the world! He has agreed to be tested first for infertility issues because of some underlying issues that he was born with. He also agreed to be tested first because we talked for several hours and I am the type that would beat myself up beyond belief if it were only me that had an issue with conceiving.
My issue now is that for the past couple days he has been acting weird. He hasn't been acting like he doesn't want kids because I know that is t the case, but I think that he's afraid of the results and what will happen with our relationship. I have tried to reassure him that I am happy with him whether we have a baby or not.
I have a very tough time sleeping at night so he wakes up occasionally to make sure I'm okay. Tonight, he woke up and was almost frantic... Saying that I will be happier if I have a baby (meaning me). I Could tell by hiseyes that he was afraid that I might leave him if we cod t have a child together.
I am sitting here crying wishing that I knew how to show him that I am with him through everything.
I'm thinking about staying off of here (daily strength) so much because he seems much more anxious since I've been on here. I just hope I can figure out how to help him. I love him more than words can describe. :-(

There are couples that let their relatioship fall apart because they have difficulties conceiving, but you don't have to be one of these couples. It is all under your control. If you are constantly on this site, and constantly thinking about getting pregnant, he senses that in your behavior. He knows that you are not happy with the way things are, and thinks it's his fault. I understand how you feel and what you are going though. Of course you want a child, of course you are going to obsess about it. I went thought that too. It is something that's obviously going to be on the back of my mind all the time. However, I find ways to distract myself but focusing my energy on working on my nursing career, on having a great time with my husband, and simply being at ease. My husband is aware that at some point next year we are going to start IUI.He knows that he has a lower sperm count than optimum, etc. But we don't focus on it. It is really no big deal, he knows we are going to get though this, find a solution, and we will have a child one day. We will be fine. We have that faith because being together is what really matters.
thanks for your advice. I am not really on this particular support group that much.I am actually in my other support group the majority of the time, because I have accepted the fact that whatever happens, happens as far as kids are concerned.
I have just got my new doctor to prescribe Clomid after 13 years of infertility. We are not going to a specialist until it is absolutely necessary. Hopefully, we will find something out within the next few weeks about his ablility to have kids with a simple lab test. We are really just getting started on the Dr. related help. My OB asked if I prefer to just have her help first or if I wanted to go to a specialist. We don't really have the money to be starting out with a specialist.
I think my husbands issue was that he felt I was not coming to him about my problems. At least that's what I am getting from it. I have talked to him about everything I talk about on here, but when he is away at work it is nice to have others to talk to because I can't be calling him every time I am feeling down.
