Maybe it would be good for him to talk to some other men who've been there/done that? My husband never seemed terribly stressed out about IF, except when I was screaming at him from Follistim-induced rages, but I know that other men have had a really rough time. Maybe sometime we can expand our Stirrup-Queen get togethers to include our Sperm Palace Jesters?<BR/><BR/>It was great meeting you on Tuesday.

I only mean perspective in terms of knowing where he is, not how good he has it or anything like that. He just seems a bit lost, and needs a little grounding.<BR/><BR/>What does he really enjoy - when not depressed? Also, just sitting and listening. No commentary from you, except to ask him questions to help him get out whatever is weighing him down. Sometimes we all get sad because we have nowhere to turn but inside - he may just need to let off internal steam?LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398924875071245573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394769593563623099.post-25662460540711689792007-06-20T18:52:00.000-04:002007-06-20T18:52:00.000-04:00Great fun meeting you last night.

The doctor sounds like a great idea - and if the wait to see a counselor is prohibitively long, is it an option to see a private therapist as a stop-gap measure?In and Out of Luckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211825510910211158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394769593563623099.post-24565094006852967762007-06-20T09:25:00.000-04:002007-06-20T09:25:00.000-04:00I'm sorry your hubby is struggling.

I think you're doing the right thing in getting him into the doctor. He/she may have some suggestions that you haven't thought of. And it's amazing what a good therapist and/or a prescription will do.Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618450893147930174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394769593563623099.post-54955956046910144532007-06-20T00:26:00.000-04:002007-06-20T00:26:00.000-04:00It was great to meet you tonight.
