So, it felt like the right time, and then nothing happened. This stuck out to me not because I was 30, but because,\u00a0historically, the women in my family get pregnant\u00a0really quickly\u00a0and\u00a0really easily. Whether or not they can maintain that pregnancy is a different story, but pregnancy happens easily.\u00a0So,\u00a0when we have been trying for about four or five months, I said,\u00a0\u2018you know what,\u00a0I'm just going to talk to my\u00a0OB,\u2019\u00a0who was so lovely.\u00a0I had had such a great relationship with her up until this point:\u00a0when she told me to\u00a0\u2018<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">just relax,\u2019<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0and that\u00a0it\u00a0would happen.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Dan Bulger:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0That hurts, doesn't it?

Just relax and your pain will go away. Just relax and your work issues will sort themselves out. But the big one is the one Bethany heard, just relax and you'll get pregnant. It's annoying when people say just relax, and it can be hurtful. But when it's a doctor telling their patients that they should just\u00a0relax,\u00a0and they'll get pregnant.

And then men weren't even tested with any regularity until well into the 20th century. And when I was doing\u00a0Patient\u00a0Practitioner Communication Studies, under IRB, through UNC Charlotte, we were talking to people whose partners refused to even get tested.\u00a0So,\u00a0they could have had male factor infertility, but wouldn't have known and doctors didn't require it. But we know that male factor is the cause 30%\u00a0to 40% of the time, so it's\u00a0definitely worth\u00a0checking. But because we have this idea that women are the infertile ones, and if they would just relax, they would get pregnant, it\u00a0actually really\u00a0hurts the men and these heterosexual partnerships, because they deserve time and attention and care as well. And if we keep understanding infertility as a female problem, we're really neglecting the male patients in these partnerships.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","episode_host_image":22617,"episode_host_title":"Dan Bulger, Producer at Progyny","episode_host_bio":"Dan has been in the healthcare industry for the last six years as a multimedia content producer.
