It's definitely a stereotype, but stereotypes come from somewhere! I've had a lot of conversations with my DH about TTC and he's really a "fatalist" in that he believes everyting in life is already written and nothing we do is going to affect our future. He's totally anti-medicine, anti-doctor, anti-science. He'd rather treat a cut with salt and lime than neosporin and a burn with corn oil, or an ear infection with smoke rather than antibiotics. Imagine trying to convince him to do ANYTHING for fertility's sake.

Though I did show him the beauty of ibuprofen and he takes it in secret before he goes to work when he thinks I'm sleeping
