Unsupportive partner

I’ve recently just had my 3rd MC and I have found out I have an issue with my uterus which makes having sticky babies difficult. It’s so hard hearing people around me having their 2nd or 3rd child knowing I’m struggling to even keep one. I’ve spoke to my partner and asked if we can stop discussing other peoples successes, not because I’m not happy for them but because it hurts. His reply was “what’s the big deal, other people can’t help our situation”. I really think if he had issues with his sperm it would be a big deal so why can’t he be more supportive.

How do I move on from this and accept my situation? Any advice would be massively appreciated. 😞😞

From someone who tried for years and has had multiple ivfs, the way he put it is blunt and rude but technically true that their success doesn’t affect yours and he may want to discuss the live events for friends and family, he should however do this in a tactful way just stating the event but not dwell on it. Men also generally care less about having kids anyway I find. The first thing is to try and get referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic. Can I ask if they gave the medical term for the uterus problem as perhaps there may be people on here with experience of the next steps they went through?

Thank you for your reply!

I agree it was really blunt and I wish he worded it better. I'm not sure what was worst hearing another person has successfully become pregnant or the way he said it 🙄

I have a bicornuate uterus so my uterus is in sorta two sections. My issue hasn't been conceiving it's holding it that's the problem. I'm not even sure what options there is for me when I spoke to a doctor they just said that miscarriages were more likely, and preterm birth and birth defects were higher. I've saw on a few groups that I'll most likely get a C-section which is totally okay with me I sometimes just worry that I'll never make it that far
