Does anyone feel like their more invested in TTC than your other half?

Question

We've been TTC for 7 months and my partner is an incredibly chilled out guy (we always make a joke if he was anymore relaxed he'd be dead.) but when it comes to this I needed him to be a bit more proactive.

I asked him to start introducing small amounts of fertile foods into his diet as I'm taking vitamins but he doesn't like a lot of the food. I enjoy window shopping at baby stuff (obsessed slightly) but when I ask for his input he just say "Oh that's nice".

Sometimes I feel like I'm pushing this on him and I know he loves me but it's not something he should be taking so lightly. Anyone else with me?!

Answer

If he's having a hard time with the foods... have him take a multi vitamin... it will make sure his body has the vitamins it needs.

My husband wasn't into baby items or anything baby related until there were two pink lines on that stick. Then it became more real for him and now he's all about designing a nursery and everything else.

I hope you get your BFP soon, I'm sure your husband will be more excited when the time comes!

Answer

I know exactly how you feel! Don't take it personal, he probably doesn't want to get too invested in case it doesn't happen. When I finally did get pregnant, he refused to to take me to the store to get a test because he didn't want to get his hopes up(I was crazy, we argued for two hours. He then took me to the store and I peed when I got home (it was positive). I rubbed it in his face lol.). Seriously, my husband, who acts like a big tough guy is actually a sweetheart with beautiful thoughts and feelings that he doesn't like to share or talk about. Ttc was hard for him. Just because we do most the work, doesn't mean it isn't draining on them. Honestly, my husband has vericocele(a large vein that goes through the scrotum and can cause infertility) and I wanted him to change his diet, and he refused to. So every night or morning, I'd sort out his vitamins for him and he took them. I could write a list if you'd like? I will add though, add some maca root to your list, I had pcos but my periods were regular and nothing wrong with me, Dr said I should have gotten pregnant sooner (we were finally going to see a fertility specialist). I got pregnant the month I started taking it. I also made my husband take some.
