?

umm, i just found out my husband doesnt want to do iui. he says he 'doesnt believe in it', and we should do more research about doing it naturally.

wtf. get off your fucking ass and do some research. i've been researching for 2 years now.

i guess hes so fucking proud of his sperm count he just knows it will happen naturally and I need to relax.

i'm so fucking pissed, upset, angry, frustrated, ... i dont even know.

he's moving the car right now and will be back in a few seconds.

i'll write more tomorrow.

Doesn't believe in it? IUI isn't Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy. How frustrating.

You guys have done everything you could do naturally. It sucks. But if you're ready to move into treatment he needs to harden up and educate himself.

Saying that, I do think it's harder for the guys to move into treatment. It's scary for everyone. Especially when they don't know much about it.

the hub felt pretty much the same way. I reminded him that iui might be our only chance- & it turns out I was right. As they were doing the IUI they found my cervix to be quite the tricky corkscrew. Now the hub is convinced that that's why it hadn't worked previously. And he has the amazing sperm count too.
Sometimes those suckers need a map or a ride- they get lost when left to their own devices.
I can understand being nervos & hesitant about iui's- hell- I was right up until the actual cycle. I kept holding out thinking 'maybe ~this~ is the month it will happen & we won't need the iui'. now I wonder if my little miracle would have happened sooner if we just went forward right after all the testing...
Leave brochures out & info open on the computer. Sometimes it takes the littlest things to get them to where we are. I know the hub wasn't as emotionally devastated until he really started to notice how everyone around us was getting pregnant- and we still weren't. that's what finally motivated him to 'just do it'. (man this turned into a long comment about me!)
Good luck!

My docto just recommended IUI for us, and my husband's all hesitant about it too. "It sounds like a very cold, mechanical way of making a baby," he says. "I'm not sure I like that." If it were just me deciding we'd be signed up already. Sigh. My sympathies.
