Partner Won't Try Again
My ruptured ectopic was back in November and my husband has openly admitted he was more scared for me than upset about the loss of our baby. Since then I have got to a place where I would like to start TTC but my husband is reluctant, I think because he is worried about me and what might go wrong again. He closes off when we try to discuss. I am starting to feel frustrated and a bit resentful as I feel he is holding me back. I know he needs to be ready too but I'm worried he is making me angry and im not sure how to deal with it. Has anyone else had this experience?

Re: Partner Won't Try Again
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss.
My partner was the same in admitting he was more worried about me than losing our baby.
Would your partner look through our information on trying to conceive on our website with you to perhaps give him some reassurance. Also let him know that you will have an early pregnancy scan on any subsequent pregnancies so if it was sadly ectopic again, it should be caught early.
Keep an open, honest dialog with him and hopefully he'll do the same. We also have a mens board he could look at to see how other men feel or he can even post any concerns he may have.
Sending much love,
