Anyone else ttc with husband who has erectile dysfunction?

Rosie

Hello,

(this may be considered TMI)

I'm interested to hear from other women who are ttc and dealing with husband's E.D. issues. Our situation is different from other couples ttc because we cannot be spontaneous. And we have started using the syringe method because he can not stay hard or ejaculate inside. This has been an issue for several years, so it is not ttc stress. Whenever I posted this topic on other apps (which I don't do anymore, given up) they usually say "just stop trying" (HAVE to try, again, E.D.) or, the rudest "why not just have sex?" Usually followed by some snarky remark. Well, if you were in my shoes, you'd realize how terrible and stressful ttc is when he has E.D. We've been trying for a year. I'm very disappointed but I HAVE to keep trying. I love him and accepted the fact that we may NEVER have actual sex. We do other stuff. Yes, I miss it, but I've come to terms with it. But now that we want a baby, the dysfunction has totally torn down my expectation of getting pregnant . We've actually gotten a prescription for a E.D. medication that works for him...but we didn't get it filled: 10 pills for over $500.00! And no, my insurance doesn't cover fertility treatments. Which I'm avoiding anything like that , but was hoping I'd get SOME help with the prescription. Anyone else in the same boat? Have you overcome this issue and gotten pregnant? I'm so upset over this. I'm NOT allowing it to stress me out TOO much but I'm still sad. Thanks for the chance for letting me vent! :-)
