For some reason, my mind is going to this scene in the movie "Dumb and Dumber" (which I detest by the way), and Jim Carey is hitting on this woman and she's telling him to bug off. She thinks she's being direct (any woman would agree; something along the lines of "when pigs fly" or "when hell freezes over"), but he still responds with "So what you're saying is, I have a chance!" <br /><br />It's funny because the stereotype is that men are more logical than women, but my experience is that they don't accept reality very well, and fall to denial in the blink of an eye.<br /><br />All that said, I hope like heck that your DH is right. Not here as often as I'd like to be, but always thinking of you, always rooting for you. <3Myndihttp://tenaciouslyttc.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054933741560126677.post-90846415895155548152010-08-23T12:53:56.938+01:002010-08-23T12:53:56.938+01:00My DH was always the same way, too.

I have heard that DHEA can really help some people though, so I think it's wonderful that you get to add that to your arsenal! I am praying that November will prove your DH right (even though it is frustrating when men hear so differently from women!!).quadmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254199098599230245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054933741560126677.post-68492013803039525432010-08-22T15:45:19.088+01:002010-08-22T15:45:19.088+01:00I have completely the same situation: I most ofte...I have completely the same situation: I most often walk out of a session with Dr.Dry completely demoralized and Mr.Right comes out of it with the complete opposite reaction. Weird!! I don't exactly know what it is that causes us to have these completely different reactions. I do think I'm a bit more of a pessimist. But, I think it may have as much to do with how much harder this really is on us than it is on them. That's not to dismiss that our husbands feel that this is hard, but it's our bodies that have to go through all this and, I think, in your and my cases, our crappy eggs and/or immune issues that are causing us to have to go through all of this. I've too often tried to drag my husband down the pessimistic route, though, so I totally applaud your letting him kind of drag you down the optimistic route!! It's seems to me to me to be a much better road to follow. We're pretty much in the same - let's-try-one-last-time-with-my-eggs situation so I'll be following closely and keeping all of my fingers and toes crossed for you!!HopeBPatienthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05594281959818334437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054933741560126677.post-29385568267030839932010-08-22T09:23:41.007+01:002010-08-22T09:23:41.007+01:00I had to laugh a little bit because this is how ev...I had to laugh a little bit because this is how every one of our appointments (that my DH attends)ends up. Me thinking it is the end of the world and DH smiling and feeling full to the brim with positivity.<br />Husbands do seem to have the ability to see the positives. On this occaision I'm going to side with your husband!<br />I think males tend to make decisions and opinions based on facts and they don't get so emotional about things. We woman (well me anyway) are often far to emotional to see the situation for what it really is. <br />The facts are that if it wasn't worth you trying again the clinic would have said so (they have their success rates to think of) and yes i know the odds are not as favourable as you'd like, but honestly, they're not great for many of us. Look at me, I'm supposedly in the favourable category age wise and I'm staring down the barrel of my 5th IVF. Its a hard road, and its especially hard because its all so fresh and raw for you right now. I think its so wonderful that your DH was there and able to put a positive spin on the review for you. And by the way, I think its great that you asked for the DHEA. I know its hard to suggest things in those situations but at the end of the day this is YOUR future and you need to know you've done all you possibly can to get to motherhood. So bravo to you, and I'm sure the Dr wouldn't have prescribed it if it wasn't worth trying. <br />Bring on November!!!<br />Take care, hugs.<br />xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054933741560126677.post-36826844720445392012010-08-22T09:17:17.249+01:002010-08-22T09:17:17.249+01:00Bless him, and let's hope for a November to re...Bless him, and let's hope for a November to remember:)Circus Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00201859855761532276noreply@blogger.com
