Your Trying to Conceive partner is, of course, there physically. Is he also emotionally
supportive, especially if you get a BFN when you hoped this would be the month? Is he open to on-going TTC related talk when you want/need it?

when will it happen
my husband and i have been ttc for around five months now,now i know thats not a very long time but i fell pregnant in the first month with my three year old.so this feels like forever.hubby enjoying the ttc but as ive read in many others not so open to talk about it. been finding myself getting more upset as i cant get upset in front of him as i dont feel he understands why it upsets me so much, as he again is, it will happen when it happens.the excitment of it all is slowly fading.does not help as hubby a long distance lorry driver so can only try when he about (obviously). it took me over a year to convince him that now would be a good time to start had many nos then out of the blue he said yes and i was so excited so was he but i feel now that he almost feels used when i do see him

He thinks we can't AFFORD it??
My husband will talk briefly about ttc. But the conversation always ends with him saying that we cacn't afford it... or we're not financially ready for it. We both have great paying jobs... we have been married for nearly a year... we've been together for more than 3 years...we own our own home (with three bedrooms I might add... so there is still room for my husband's game room!). We have parents who can not wait for grandchildren... what more does he want?

My husband is a great listener!
My husband lets me talk about whatever whenever to him and that is great. I do get disappointed (but only slightly) as each month passes and still no baby, but I don't really let it stress me out and therefore it doesn't stress him out either. I truly believe that it will happen when it happens and the more I stress about it the more likely it is NOT to happen. We haven't been trying for a year (more like 5 months) or anything so I might become much more frustrated at that point..we will see. Good luck to you all!!

How I Wish!!!
I so very much WISH that he could support and discuss the ttc. He says that yes, he wants another baby, but he figures it'll happen when it happens. So, when I get a BFN, it's not a big deal to him, and he doesn't understand why I'm crying and emotional. He doesn't relly want to talk about baby until we are pregnant.

Just shut up and listen
My fiance is very supportive of trying he wants another child as much as me, but as far as listening to me talk about it or when I get 6 bfn's (<---chronic tester) he just says "well we'll have one sonn". UGGGHHHH I wish he could just be me for a day and see what it feels like.

Always ends up in tears and slammed doors....
My husband HATES talking about it. It seems like everyday I try to bring the subject up, I end up in tears and he ends up storming out the room! I think the best thing for me right now is to let the situation die down a little bit and wait for him to bring it up himself. After 3 years of waiting, I think I've waited long enough!
