Hi. Me and DH have been ttc for 14 months with no luck. I have been to the docs for help but she said we can't get couple assistance until we have been trying for 2 years. Also, she asked about our smoking and drinking habits etc. DH is a smoker. She said he needs to have proof that he has been a non smoker for 6 months before we can get help also. But how is he supposed to get proof?! He had his last "proper" cig on Xmas eve but has been using e-cigs since then. He is refusing to quit quit saying these e-cigs are harmless and anyway there is no proof that smoking damages sperm production anyway. But that's not what the nhs needs us to do and its causing lots of arguments between us at the moment. He says he's comitted to making a baby but this to me is not total commitment.
I've got another appointment with the docs on Wednesday to see if I can get some tests done to see if its me that's the problem. But I'm just thinking what's the point as I think its most likey him. He's asthmatic and shouldn't be smoking anyway, eats unhealthy and doesn't do any exercise. Even after "quitting" normal fags he's still had 2 chest infections this year already. Grrrrrrrrr I'm just feeling bitter and twisted!
