DH struggling with trying to conceive

DH and I started TTC last June/ July. I know his isn't long but it's already taking a strain. I conceived in September and we discovered I'd had a MMC in November. I then conceived again in January and had a chemical. We then went to see a specialist who has put us on supplements and ran basic tests which have come back normal.

We have just found out I haven't conceived this month. I'm managing OK and although I was very down about the losses I'm trying to move forward and be positive. DH is now struggling with erectile dysfunction and not even just during the fertile week. He's really frustrated and down that we have been trying for almost a year and have nothing to show for it- I suppose in that time our hopes have been raised and dashed.

I'm worried about how this is affecting our relationship, he desperately wants a child but he also feels under pressure. I don't want the pressure every month of his disappointment either as I'm worrying about him. We are young ish- 32 (me) and he's 35.

I read lots online about TTC so know it can be a long ish process but I think he is maybe a bit naive to it all. I just don't want this to affect our relationship especially at this relatively normal stage in the process. Does anyone have any advice?
