ED

What do you all do if your partner has ED? We've been TTC most of this year and had 3 MMC so obviously not stopping us actually conceiving, but each month when he struggles around my fertile week I find it really disheartening.

Obviously I would never tell him that, and I don't tell him when my fertile week is as I don't want to up the pressure. Any other time of the month it genuinely doesn't bother me, but those few days of being fertile are so short and it's just such a sinking feeling when you know you've missed your chance for another month.

Any one else in the same situation? How do you cope with it?

So sorry to read that you've suffered losses Thanks

Have you thought about Intrauterine Insemination? It might take the pressure off you both a bit.

I have thought about it but I think it would just make it too much of a "thing" and would just increase stress all round.

We both have DC from previous relationships and said that a baby together would just be the icing on the cake, and if it happened it happened. However as times gone on I'm getting more desperate for it to actually get on and happen!

I don't think my DP would really want to go down the route of outside intervention with IUI and I don't think I could bring up the idea of using home insemination as I think it would just feel too clinical somehow.
