 question for the guys
My DH tries really hard to understand what I'm going through but he hasn't been really sick a day in his life. He gets the sniffles when other people are coughing up blood. How can I make him understand that the illnesses I have (pcos, hypo, etc) really do impact my quality of life greatly?
Also he seems to think that I can get "better" without any medication or doctors at all (don't ask me what he thinks I should be doing). He tells me my thyroid pills are a "habit" and that it's only convincing my thyroid to be lazy to take these pills. He also flat out said to my reproductive endocrinologist that he thought we just hadn't been "trying" to conceive long enough yet and that it will "happen" sooner or later. She shook her head and said well if I'm not ovulating, it doesn't matter how much time we give it... but he still didn't get it.
So what's the cure for this? Me getting so ill I almost die in front of him? Years that pass without us getting PG before he'll understand it's not all about time?
Any suggestions? It would be good to get a male perspective.
