First, my apologies for not being here much in type. I've been lurking, and just kind of in a funk.

The due date of my angel is coming up on the 18th, I didn't think the date would just breeze by, but it's really hitting me hard, hard, hard.

The last week has been super busy, and I'm pretty sure I O'ed today. We haven't made any attempts this week, and today is kind of our last day, and DH isn't in the mood. He's too tired!!!! Ugh!!! I was really hoping that a BFP, neatly placed the day before my angel's due date would be helpful. Now I'm not even in the running for having two weeks of hopefulness. Two more weeks of grief.

He has no idea what his moment of tiredness had done for my grieving process.

((HUGS)) I am so sorry. Sometimes you have to really sit down and tell them how your feeling. Be blunt about it because they have a harder time trying to understand us.

I'm so sorry! My angel's due date is right around the corner too and I totally understand your feelings. I agree with the others that sitting down with your DH and having a real heart to heart may help. It might also help you if you write it all down and have him read it. Sometimes it's easier to get all of our emotions out on paper and your DH reading it will give a him chance to have everything really sink in.

I am ss you are going through that! I agree, talk to him. I sent my DH a letter through email, because I kept forgetting to mention it by the time we both got home and finished talking about our day. I explained to him that I don't want it to be stressful, but fun and if he is stressed or feeling pressured and can't "perform" that he needed to explain it to me rather than just "reject" my attempts. It really hurts, tired or not, I mean, don't we make sacrifices? Perhaps he is just feeling like it is too much of a job for him and feels like he can't perform?

Anyways, wanted to offer hugs!!

I understand where you are coming from. I have a angle due day coming up on the 30th,. I agree with the other ladies sit down and try to talk to your dh. It is hard to understand how we are feeling.

That is a rough time... Sounds like my DH and I a while back..... I've found it easier to tell him things about the Ovulation progress but not overwhelming him with the little bits of detail... It's been easier to go with the mood and no pressure for him (even though it is for them to perform). If that makes any sense...
