We have been TTC for a year now. I'm 37 he is 32.
I have now begun the process of getting checked out. He knew i was going to the doctors, and they said they did not want to see him at that point as he is registered at another surgery.
I have had the initial cd1-5 blood test, just had the day 19 blood test, had the vaginal swabs.
Now all my tests should be winging its way back to the doctors now. The only thing i tiold him two months ago was that he also had to book an appt at his doctors for him to give his sample.
I'm yet to see him make this appt - as he is "too busy". He was supportive at the beginning when we were talking about me going to the doctors, and interested in what i have to do and what the doctor said about the whole process.
I'm not sure whether he is scared that something might be wrong with him - or the fact he has to "perform" into a container??
I have asked him 4 times now to book his appt, over the past two months and i don't want to appear to be nagging at him, as i don't think that i should have to remind him all the time to do it. But i don't want to have to do all the work just seems that sometimes it is the women who have to do all the work, temps, opks, checking CM - that they are totally oblivious to these things. I don't want to tell him what i have to do as then again it'll be like i'm nagging at him and this will put him off TTC.
Has anyone else had this issue, and how did they resolve it - i am not making an appt for him as this will totally p*** him off and being the stubborn man he is go in the opposite direction and dig his heels in and not do anything at all! But i want him to make the call as he is 32 after all and he has told me how much he wants us to get pregnant!
It's our 1st wedding anniversary next week - so not sure whether to bring it up then as he has a couple of days off work for him to go and speak to his doctor - i'm kinda hoping they tell him that we actually have to have sex during my fertile period on more than a couple of occasions (as i honestly think we do not do it enough) - when i try to instigate things during the right time, he is too tired, sore from training, late off from work.
Plus i want to book a holiday during the fertile period, so that he is away from work & training so that we can give it a good go....
Thats all really!
