I made a journal entry on that very subject a couple of days ago, "Thoughts on TTC and Happy Easter". Check it out if interested. Best to you.

Def will thank you so much

I'm so sorry for your losses. I find handling the stress really hard, both personally, and on my marriage. Married 6 years, TTC since August but sometimes we get in small fights right around ovulation time because I get so stressed out, so we miss the date—this has happened twice. DH finds it very hard to have to "perform" on command, and then he doesn't want to hear me talk about anything to do with TTC during the TWW. I am not sure how long we can do this for. I guess I don't have any helpful answers for you, but I wanted to let you now that you are certainly not alone.

Oh, I did find the book, "The Impatient Woman's Guide to Getting Pregnant" somewhat helpful.

Jack15 thank you so much. Even though you know its very comforting hearing that. I am in the same place. We missed ovulation and I feel like he gets annoyed with all my researching and reading etc

I'm here and understand if you need to talk/vent

I'm sorry to hear of your stress. I feel it too. We have been trying for 4 1/2 with no luck. I have my bad days but I try to refocus my attention. So if I'm feeling down I'll go on a run/walk/hike. I'll talk to my hubby who is really supportive and vice versa. It's been hard lately because my best friend just had a baby and her husband had a vasectomy so the baby wasn't planned. I went to my sister in laws baby shower on Saturday and she practically sneezed and got pregnant so while I am so happy for them I do feel the "what about me?" Feeling : ( im sorry I'm not giving any advice I guess I can just relate. Try to breathe and know that it WILL happen.

Sending you positive vibes
