My DH has had 2 children via IVF with his first wife. After 7 years of TTC and unexplained infertility we probably need to go down that path as well. He has done this before and "knows it all" and has no fear or anxiety around the process. He also doesn't really see it as invasive. He also has demons from his experience and expects to be totally bullied and excluded.
I feel so vulnerable with the whole process and get mad. He thinks that a woman should be willing to do ANYTHING to conceive. I don't. Im so angry at this societal belief. I had a HSG and it took me 2 years to recover emotionally from the trauma of the extreme unmedicated pain and callous dr. They say that implantation is "uncomfortable" like a Pap smear. They also said that about the HSG.
I am so angry and fearful.
Is IVF as bloody awful as I think it will be?
Any tips on how to help hubby be the support I need?
