Dan,

Aweome post. I found this through Googling male perpective on miscarriage. We just lost our baby after 6 weeks and a strong heartbeat, and now nothing. My husband is devastated, hurting, as am I. There’s little out there for him to resource as to how to deal with this and the whole IVF thing, which we have been through twice. I hope he’ll read your post, just so he knows he’s not alone in this infertility world. Any advice on how to move forward? Did you ever consider donor eggs as well? Thanks,

Cath

Hi Dan
Would you contact me regarding this piece? I’m an editor on The Observer, a British broadsheet newspaper, looking to interview men who are experiencing IVF, for an article. Think you’d be great for it

Thanks for the post, Dan. I’m on my 8th attempt and I think my husband could probably relate to everything you said….although, even after all this time, he still hasn’t gotten the “don’t take the abuse personally part of it”!

Not even having ever met you and Amanda in person, I can tell how well you compliment one another. It’s a lot to be able to say this whole journey has brought you closer together instead of further apart.

Great post, Dan. You write about many things that I didn’t understand until we were out of IVF, and you nailed them.
Your wife is a rock star. But then you know that already, clearly : )

I’m making my husband read this post, esp. the shot part, lol. I agree with what Jennie said also, you are going to both be amazing parents one day! Thanks for sharing your perspective and good luck.

What a great post, Dan, thank you. I’m going to tell my husband what you said about the shots, he gets really upset when he hurts me, I have to keep telling him that I don’t mind if it gets us to where we want to be. Thanks again. I am glad you have each other.

Dan another brilliant post thanks for putting it out there, however I disagree with one point you made, and yes it’s nit picking but I’m allowed to do that ….
you said you hadn’t had any success, you are right as far as having a child goes (and gawd knows I wish that were different) but oh man are you wrong as far as “general success” goes, your marriage is a testament to that success and it’s so lovely to read how much you care about each other, sometimes ok all too often that gets pushed aside. /end mushy ramble.

good luck for sunday Dan no matter how you get there you will be one amazing dad.

It’s great to hear from the male half as I think your journey is somewhat different than ours.

Thanks for the post and I wish you all the luck in the world
