TTC: IVF Support

Starting IVF

I need advice, please let me know if I’m overreacting!! My husband and I have been TTC for a while now. We’ve had a few miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy ultimately leading to IVF being my only method of contraception. I’ve struggled for a few months with this idea and I’ve finally came to terms with it.

I’ll be starting our first round of IVF within a week. I was speaking to one of the nurses and she gave me hope by saying “you’ll be pregnant by the summer” and although I know that may or may not be true it felt good to hear. When I told my husband about what the nurse had said his response was “we’ll see”

* definitely not the response I was hoping*

When he seen my demeanor change. He basically told me that I shouldn’t expect him to say what I want him to hear however, he’s still being optimistic. I just need to know was me getting upset by his response normal I was just looking for him to be more supportive or have a more positive outlook then “we will see”.

Just for a little bit more context, this is not the first time that I felt like I didn’t have his support. One day I was creating my “IVF must haves” and he told me that I was doing too much and that I’m overthinking everything. We had a conversation and I ended up letting him know that I didn’t feel supported by him and he said he will do better and then he said what he said today.
