Male factor infertility

I honestly just try to relax and take care of myself as much as possible and mindfulness meditation also helps and just remember to study get an app and study how to conceive and what u and ur partner might have missed it could bring the relationship closer and pay attention to his interest as well and always keep open communication if u need a break take a break because it will happen when it's time also u could share that u are sad but that u won't be defeated by everything and let him know u still care about him and what exactly u need in that moment best wishes :)

You're both in this together! Communication is key to big things like this.

Following as I am in a similar position! We communicate really well usually, but I don’t want to upset him when I’m feeling down about the situ, as he blames himself. I sometimes seek the support from others (E.g my sister), if I’m feeling really down

Same position it’s really hard ! It’s just reminding yourself and him that it’s both of you, however you to also express as for women every month are bodies prepared for pregnancy (unless there is other issues) so it’s a constant reminder earlier pregnancy symptoms and start of period are very similar so it’s much harder to put at the back of your mind.

I’m in the same boat as you, finding it soo hard to express it’s a us issue that we can work through IF we both say how we feel , this group is helpful and supportive because I feel no one really understands fertility issues outside of couples who are dealing with it, I’m going to wave at you here to talk

Honestly when we got the news it broke us, it took us 2 years, lots of vitamins and healthy changes but I’m 17 weeks pregnant now! Stay positive xx

I’m in the same boat. We’re about to start IVF and some days I want to scream “this is all your fault! It’s so unfair that I have to go through all this!” But that would solve absolutely nothing. We’re in this together and I know he’s the one I want to father my children.

My advice: keep communication open. Be honest about your feelings (in a constructive way of course), and ensure you don’t get consumed by TTC. Make sure you prioritize your relationship and keep that bond strong.

Also depending on where u are in your journey start on supplements, it’s soo unfair when is mfi I just feel there less help or advice

I’m struggling with this too right now. This is our first cycle since finding out my husband has a very low count on top of his low drive. We’ve been trying 8m now and my heart breaking and hope fading a little each cycle. But if I share with him it just feels like he gets further and further away.

Oooh me too... My partner however isn't making any appropriate improvements to his life style. Which really frustrates me. His diet is terrible, full of sugar, he has the longest hot showers and won't cut out coffee. Whereas I do every single thing in my power and I'm not actually the one where the issue lies. I had to fall out with him and not speak to him for a day for him to even take supplements, which he had been told to do 3 months prior by the fertility consultant 🤦🏼‍♀️
