I’m not teaching in Caddo anymore. My wife still likes sex.

I’m good.

Family medical issues are the suck, but family needs to take care of each other

FWIW this the absolute worst thing you can tell someone dealing with infertility.



no it's not. the worst thing you can do is to not give a shite about their situation. it's not the words that matter, it's the effort you put into trying to understand what they're going through.

I know family needs to care for each other.

But now I’m fighting with my husband over it tonight.

He thinks I should just ignore my dad’s phone calls. I know with his mental illness....that only freaks him out more. Even if it stresses me out....it’s my sick dad.

As a follow up to my last post. I fully suport adoption. It is just really hard when you are infertile to hear people offer that as an option. It is not cheap or easy.


I know, believe me. I think (hope)nurse knows I wasn’t being insensitive. I am very pro-adoption, but I know where she is coming from. She is a wonderful woman and deserves happiness.

Sending good vibes your way Nurse. I know I say this all the time and easier said than done but keep hanging in there and stay positive. Good things will come and one day you’ll look back at this rough patch as a blip on the radar. Keep your head up

nurse, I am sorry to hear all of that. I could share some things with you that could maybe help you feel better, maybe not, but I am not going to post that stuff here.

After 10 years, because my wife is finally pregnant


is she and the baby healthy? if so, it's all that matters. call the two SILs and tell them to frick off, and don't bother acknowledging your existence again until they're ready to have a serious conversation about why they've acted the way they have and are ready to apologize and make authentic amends.

I think adoption is wonderful. But it’s not for everyone.

It’s not an option my husband and I wish to pursue. We don’t have the money nor emotional strength nor desire to pursue it.

What? That it’s not the end of the world? Ok

Adoption is super expensive. Most people throw it out as an option but don't realize how difficult it can be. It cost me around $30,000 to have a child via IVF. Worked first try (thank baby jesus) but if I had to add adoption costs on top of that there is no way.

Thanks tgr. I should read my Bible more. I keep trying to remember that God has something awesome planned for me in the future. That this crap is just getting me ready for the good stuff.

Mike, I've got it made. After 8 years of infertility my wife is finally pregnant. We've both had the surgeries, tried every holistic and natural treatment under the sun, 3 unsuccessful IUIs and then IVF. Down to our last shot after 2 unsuccessful transfers, 3rd time it finally stuck. I didn't want to let myself believe it for the longest time, but it is really happening. I have been incredibly blessed my entire life, things always have had a way of working out for me, even though I've had to crawl through the ditches to get there. Its always turned out for the better in the end.

But tonight I'm hurting man. I just need to vent and get it out my system. I've always been the rock, the steady friend everyone turns to get them through the tough times. I wouldn't have it any other way.
But I know you've been through depression as well as I have, and probably know that feeling that you have to put on a strong face for others even when you want to scream and yell inside. Anyways thanks for letting me vent and sorry for another wall of text
