How to cope with a spouse who blames you for infertility?

Dear OP,
I am kinda speechless after reading ur H's reaction and way of treating you...anyways, other ILs have already adviced rightly on tht.

My 2 cents - I also had severe PCOS and some more issues causing infertelity. I can very well understand your emotional state as I myself faught it for 4 long years. But the miracle eventually happened for us. We could overcome all the physical problems (including PCOS) with consistent medication, continued hope and support for each-other. PCOS is pretty common these days than you can imagine, it can be cured.

Don't loose hope - God sometimes follow his own timetable to bless us with his kindness. All the best.

 

Oh Snm, I don't know what to say. If I could come to meet you now, I would have. :-(

I'm sailing the same boat, dear. PCOS, TTC for more than a year, endless treatments, no results and insensitive MIL. She has been feeding DH's brains the same crap. He doesn't say anything directly but I know. I fear the day when he will blame me. Don't know what I'll do. Maybe till then I would have become so numb that words will fall on deaf ears. If marriage has taught me anything, it is that I cannot afford to be sensitive.

All I can tell you is what I tell myself. That I can only change myself, I cannot change them. And that this is just a phase and it too will pass. 10 yrs down the line when I'm struggling with the issues of having school going children, this phase will just look like that tough exam that I took three attempts to pass.

Be brave. This stage will pass soon...........

Hi snm,

My hugs to you! It is really unfortunate that the person who should be giving you the most support during this phase, is the one who is hurting you the most..This is a journey in which you are TOGETHER.. and hurting each other is SO detrimental to the process..

I know I don't have a solution or a balm on your wounds, cos you STILL have to have *** with him, cos you STILL need a baby with him.

It is so easy to say, but please put this past you.. Look forward to the day in which you will be so busy in your own kid's life, that such hurtful words will be a distant memory.

I wish you all the luck in the world, and will be including you in my prayers. Baby dust all over you, dear!

P.S. I had PCOS too.. and I have 2 lovely kids now...Yours are just on their way, sometimes God needs a longer time to make a really perfect baby to give you

 

What does Green Card has to do with this issue, why did he stop the process??

 

Hugs to you dear!! Try pursuing your favourite hobbies, and also try to ignore all the harsh comments from your husband...dont take too much stress to your mind...lots of baby dust to you!!

 

my prayers are with u and i hope everything gets sorted out and your H is more supportive and your MIL helps the situation rather than adding more fuel to fire.
all the best.

 

Hi op!
I won't say I am sorry for you as I don't want you to feel sorry for yourself and go in self pity mode! This is the time you need to be mentally very very strong. I know TTC can be very difficult time physically, financially and most imp mentally and emotionally. I know you must be very hurt by the way your husband behaved but sadly in India many men would blame their wife if something is wrong in their life . here you have a so called 'problem' but trust me if there was something with our dh then also he n your in-laws would have found fault in your nakshatra!
First you need to tell him upfront that you don't decide to have a child because he should be USA citizen , or to show the world that yes we can procreate ! For a healthy n happy child you need a happy mind if you are under stress TTC will suffer.
Pcos is not a serious condition that you can't conceive , its a life style disorder and IL is full of success stories of women who conceived with pcos.
I feel you have two options either to totally ignore him , which is I feel not really possible as at this time you need his emotional support to keep going. Second option is to have a straight talk with him when he is in good mood and tell him that you also want this baby and for that you need his support. Try to involve him in the treatment , you van go for walk with him , it will help you to fit physically and can be good stress buster , if that is not possible try to do pooja or meditate together. Trust me it helps a lot. I am not qa very religious person but when I had my share of problems in TTV and was in low phase, dh and I would meditate n pray together. By gods grace I am blessed with a nice dh who was very supportive but still TTc can effect a couples relationship.in fact just spending five minutes in total peace with each other n think positive thoughts has helped both of us. I m not saying you need to follow all this, just try of find a way where you both can connect. If still things don't improve you need to seriously think if having a child with him is worth!

My best wishes n prayers a for you!
