My husband and I have been trying to
concieve for almost 4 years now. We just
started infertility treatment (IUI).
We're on day 3 of injections and we've
gotten into an arguement every night.
We generally never
argue about much, so I'm worried about
what the stresses of fertility treatment
is doing to our marriage.
One day one, we argued because we were
both just really nervous and stressed out
about doing the injections correctly.
On day 2 of injections, we argued about
him asking me to find someone else to give
me my injections so that he can hang out
with an out of town friend. He realizes
now that he should be here and decided to
meet with his friend after he gives me my
injection.
And today, we argued because he had 3
beers. Although the doctor said that he
can drink in "moderation", it bother's me
that he won't sacrafice drinking just for
ONE WEEK, if not drinking could possibly
increase our chances of conceiving. Don't
get me wrong, it's not like he drinks
daily. He's more of a weekend drinker.
But I just expected that he'd not drink
while we were going though treatment.
Is it normal or common for fertility
treatment to cause strain in a couples
marriage? Or is there more that I should
be conerned about? Remember, we're
normally a very happy and playful couple.
Please help!
Thank you
