thrilled to be ttc or is he neutral or is he sick of it?

[BornAgainRenee]

right now he is thrilled, but it will probably change after a few cycles.

Well, he's getting sick of the stress of TTC but thrilled with having a new baby when we get there!

Can I share something...
I never get to see Mike's emotions much... you know how guys can be. When I got pg last time & we had the u/s apparently he showed off the u/s pics to EVERYONE & I just remembering going to eat lunch with him one day & the receptionist telling me how excited he was about those pictures, how he told everyone how you could see the little heart beating so fast... Nancy (the receptionist) said he was such a "proud pappa". I can't wait to get pg again. This will be his first child & he's 42.

Awww this has to be the sweetest thing!! Sounds like he is real excited for his baby to get here!! I bet he is going to be one of those Dad's that falls asleep with the baby on his chest....When that happens make sure to take lots of pics for us!!

Kevin gets all into planning mode. He loves choosing names. When I was pg with Gracie, we had been talking names for a long time, but when we found out she was a girl we both came up with her name. Her name was going to be Gracelynn Renee, and we would have called her Gracie. When she passed we decided to just go with Grace.
I love it when the guys get so into having the babies! It makes it so special.

Have to agree with Amanda too! Hub is sick of the stress and waiting but will be thrilled when we finally get there!

Men are so different then us! He wants to just forget about ttc, not talk about it and 'let it happen' then get a OMG! BFP surprise. I on the other hand can't help counting my cycle, charting and hoping month after month.

DH thinks the charting and pee sticks are unnecessary. He doesn't care to have any more kids, and probably wouldn't if I hadn't told him I wanted more. This will be our first together, and we both have one from previous marriages. DSD is 13 and DD is 10. I just don't tell him where I am in my cycle so he doesn't feel the stress of having to dtd at the right time.

Awww that can be very tough as you are shouldering all the difficult feelings of ttc. My hub is the same in terms of rather not know all the details! He just wants the big surprise of a BFP...but time has been ticking so long now he can't help but be more involved (or at least a shoulder to cry on).

After our first IVF failed this spring, we were both pretty disheartened. DH always said he was happy with Nolan, but wanted more b/c I wanted more. Now that we have the twins, he's the one who doesn't feel that we should burn/cut/clip anything and wait and hope for an oops-weird! We both know that if I got pg without any intervention in the next four years, it will def be another miracle-it would be my first unassisted pg ever. We just don't quite feel like our family is finished, kwim?

[BornAgainRenee]

I can so relate to dh wanting it to just happen when it happens. But right now he is all for the charting and doing what ever it takes.

Its so hard to have the issues that we all do, although different from each other. Its nice to just have somewhere to go and talk about it and have understanding!!

[Mommy2Dakota]

Yeah, when I was nursing I was posting on the 'breastfeeding whilst ttc' board and it was a loverly board but they were getting their BFP's whilst I kept waiting-waiting. I had long suspected my luteal phase defect was due to ME and not my daughter nursing but until I stopped I couldn't be sure. Thats when I came over here.
