My DH is very involved. He makes sure to fit in BDing, which is easy for him but still helpful to me because I never have to ask him. He inquires about my temperature every day, asks when I'm testing and then hugs me and cheers me up when AF inevitably shows. He takes daily vitamins and has cut down on smoking and started to eat more healthfully for better sperm quality. He also took me to my RE appointments and waited in the waiting room for quite a while!

Dh is trying to quit smoking and I'm helping all I can to help him. He tells me to just say when to bd. and occasionally will ask how we are in the cycle. He cheers me up when I'm down too. It hit me yesterday about the due date thing so I cried, he cheered me up and helped me forget about it.

my DH is pretty involved, he even remembers when we have to Bd now, i don't have to tell him anymore and he is sad when i get sad and tries to cheer me up and happy when i am happy, and very supportive about having to go see a doctor again

My Dh is really involved. He asks where I am in my cycle and tried to keep track. He keeps me sane throughout the 2WW. He is just as anxious as I am to have another little one!! He is getting worred because he is afraid of being "old". He is going to be 34 in two weeks and by the time we have another baby, hopefully, he will be close to 35. He would love to have three or four kids but at this rate we would just be happy with two!!

Wow! That's so amazing. My dh gets performance anxiety if he knows too much about where I'm at in my cycle. He knows about where, but I don't tell him when I get my peak and such. He's not very good at taking vitamins, but we have some for him to take.

My DH is alot more involved than I thought he was..I thought he was just into the BDing part,but the other day he brought home and HPT and asked me to take it because we are at the end of my first cycle on Clomid.
It made me feel super bad because whilst I thought it was only me who worried and stressed about it,I was actually quite happy and calm..but now Its hit me that it me who has the problem here,and I feel as though Im letting him down
The worst thing is,Clomid didnt work..I didnt O on it,and knowing that DH is bummed upsets me more than not being pregnant.I actually wish he wasnt as involved

DH is kind of involved - I'll tell him when it's time to BD, and of course he's all for that. He's a good encourager when I need it, too.

We both have the attitude that it will happen when it happens.

My DH is pretty involved. He knows where I'm at in my cycle all the time, he pretty much does what I say in regards to BD. He doesn't want to go to my doctor's appointments (doesn't want to miss work) but he will go if I ask him to. He peeks at my charts (or used to, when I was charting) and ask what it all means. And he's a great source of support when I'm feeling pessimistic.

Since we've had to have so many tests done, he's gotten involved even more. He's also taking vitamins and he quit smoking after 16 years!

DH is involved. He asks me about my temps, when I'm going to O, when AF is due, when he has to BD, etc. He really wants to have a baby. I overheard him talking to an old friend on the phone and he told him he wants a baby now. So now when AF comes, I feel like I let him down.
