Hi Isis. I'm glad I got a reply so soon. I got the impression, reading the first thread, that it had moved quite slowly at times. Do you think your DP has sensible reasons (finances, job situation, family support, other things happening in your lives, etc) for saying this is not the right time, or is it just plain old fear of fatherhood? I'm so relieved to find that FOF is an extremely common male syndrome, and it's not just DH who has it!

In our case DH is able to hide his quite chronic FOF behind plenty of proper legitimate reasons why we can't have children yet, mainly that we have no house and no savings and we need every penny of both our salaries to cover our outgoings.

Hi Amanda, Im new too. Whats your situation with ttc?! My DP is wanting to wait 'for the right time' and doesnt seem to understand how loudly my biological clock is ticking. I am still in my 20's, but he is much older and for various reasons doesnt think its right now. I came off my pill last year and we have been using condoms since... Grrr. Getting so frustrated, glad Im not alone in the waiting room

I've just spent about an hour reading all forty pages of the original thread. It's nice to know I'm not the only one in this weird limbo. Hello to everyone!

The new thread at least means my laptop won't keep having issues trying to load the huge thread! At least until this one gets too big!

Managed to persuade DH to agree to postponing medical treatment. As long as I am feeling healthy he is happy for me not to have the drugs!Hopefully he will come back round to TTC again, I think he is just having a bit of a wobble because of the shock of it all. He was feeling a bit reluctant anyway & it pushed him over the edge. I'm sure he will come round soon enough.

Thanks for new thread Bebe.

I hope you manage to persuade your DH. 2 children are lovely and as you say the medication you need is more than a good enough reason to start ttc soon.
