Im going for my blood test for IVF second round next Friday. Im nervous. My husband doesn't want to have a third go as he says it's all too much and this scares me. I feel alot of pressure to make this work and its just quite overwhelming. Has anyone else experienced this at all?
Xx

I really don't think either of you can really decide about a third round until you've got through the second. You might not need a third go! The best you and your oh can do, is to keep talking x
It's a very hard time emotionally. After our first failed IVF my partner didn't want to do it again and I'll be honest it did cause arguments. Today we've just had transfer for our third shot.
With my partner I just gave him time to grieve, when I felt he was ready we discussed it. I just basically expressed that although I know how hard it is, we are so lucky to have these opportunities. If we didn't try then we would always wonder what if.
My partner does still struggle, he took the second loss easier than the first whereby I took it harder, I felt I didn't want to go on. But time really is a great healer.
I guess we all feel different at different stages of treatment. All I can advise is speak with your partner, let him understand that sometimes we do need to grieve before we make any rash decisions.
