Husband is always tired and stressed

Hi,

I am trying to concieve from past 6 months and I am 34 I am already late with my ttc journey and my husband is always tired and stressed. I have spoken to him many times and everytime he keeps telling we will do the deed tomorrow. It's causing me extreme stress and anxiety even the marriage seems to be falling apart. Please, if anyone on same boat? I track with strips and bbt but to maximise I asked him we should do it every alternate day but it seems everyday he comes up with reason. Asked him for supplements of selenium and other vitamins after that he feels many side effects. It's like I am drowning and he is punishing me for not trying earlier.

I was busy moving countries and making my career and sending money back home to my parents but it seems I lost lot of time in all that and everyday is a struggle now. I don't want to break the marriage but it's getting so annoying everyday that we only end up fighting.

Curious, might be low T or something for him - tired and lower interest in sex?

He has a stressful job and perhaps low sex drive. Tried supplements he gets side effects. Tired and exhausted with the journey.

I m in same boat, my clock is ticking but he feels too stressed for sake of baby making.He says I should not let him know my ovulation date or about positive opk. He wants to be spontaneous.

I know they say they feel stressed out when they have to. Perform. It seems like all the stress is supposed to be taken by woman. It's stressful for us when they don't do it too but they don't understand. I thought its only my man who is always tired. Where are u based? I am in the UK.

You can go to a specialist since your older. They will do test on you and him. Might even give you meds to help you get pregnant faster. Both of you need to be on the same page. Have a talk with him.

Hi Wanda we both are normal. It's just we have to do intercourse and it seems like a battle every month asking him to do in time frame. It's stressful

Go to a specialist and get clomid and iui. Let him drop his sperm and they insert for you. Simple. It is worth it if you can afford it. Much cheaper than ivf.

Yeah that's what I will be doing wanted to atleast give it a natural try for sometime. But looks like I am getting annoyed actually it hurts me when they insert something except intercourse so thought will try natural first.
