Has anyone else talked to a doctor about stress while trying to conceive? I’ve been having a really hard time wanting a baby for the way my husband and I have been arguing or talking to each other. I think we should go to counseling. I know I love him and I know he loves me- there’s just so much animosity so much anxiety around discussions. Do you think our anxiety or tension is because we have not been able to conceive?

Infertility is definitely a stressor. Hard to say if it’s the only reason for arguing and tension. There are therapists who specialize in counseling families through infertility, seems like you should look into that. Personally I wouldn’t try to conceive if the relationship wasn’t healthy, a baby adds a lot more challenges. ❤️

I want a kid really bad and my husband doesn't. But he knew if we didn't align with the idea of having kids that would be the end of our relationship. He knew this before we got married. This avoids a lot of arguments when we suffered unexplained infertility and finally chose IVF. The kid topic maybe just one of the reasons that you guys are arguing about. Only you and your husband know the best. But counseling is definitely a good idea, you would need to sort it out with your husband first before deciding a kid. Kids don't solve problems, they create more problems.
