Hi all
We're fairly early on in the fertility process. Started trying jan 2014. Went to gp march 2015, I've had a polyp removed and have started a big weight loss campaign. Biggest surprise was finding out my husbands sperm motility is very low. Gp said our chances of getting preg are "dramatically reduced" and his results are "most unusual". So he's/we've been referred to a men's fertility specialist. I've told a few friends, some have been fab, some have acted like I have sworn at them and not contacted me since. I plucked up the courage to tell me mum and she said "oh well" and not mentioned it since. When I talk to husband he says I'm being negative as I'm looking into Ivf and he is trying to act like we might still get pregnant. I just don't no who to talk to but I feel so sad all the time. I've told work as I work with children and they've given me a new role meaning I'm not hands on with the families anymore and they have referred me for some counselling.
I don't want to keep bothering my friends who have been supportive but I figure we will wait a long time for this appointment and it's on my mind a lot. I don't want to make husband feel even sadder by showing how sad I am. It's such a difficult time and I just don't know who I should go to for support. I feel like I'm pathetic as so early in the process so why do I need so much support already. Any tips?
