we've been TTC for 8 months now. i used to have a hormone imbalance and it seems like i have been having that problem again recently so i started using progesterone cream to help correct it before it gets bad again. he initiated us TTC, because he and his ex had 2 miscarriages together. since we've been TTC, we've had 2 as well. i should have ovulated yesterday. he's been kind of pulling away recently... i've been upset for 2 days.

today he was like "You're mad at me." I said, "Why would I be mad at you?" He told me he didn't know, so I said "Why would I be mad? Because we haven't had sex in days and I should have ovulated yesterday?" He looked at me and was like "You're seriously mad at me because of that?"

Wow. 8 months and it doesn't seem like he cares anymore.

He's the one who locks himself up in his office at night, depressed because of our angels and the fact that he wants so badly to be a father.

I almost wanted to leave him just now. Idk what to do anymore. Maybe we should stop trying.

I know that must be really hard for you. But maybe he is afraid of the possibility of another loss. And while I completely understand the urgency you feel each month when you are ovulating and can understand the fear of losing another pregnancy, especially after he has gone through it so many times. Hang in there. Just talk to him and maybe you could have have some make up sex and it will all work out for you in the end.

He ended up in the ER because of GI problems. (2nd time in 24 hours) I lost one of my jobs (one I was quiting anyway) because my manager told me I had to go to work when I called to tell her I was taking him to the hospital again... She didn't believe me I guess. She said I had to come in anyway and I didn't show up. I got fired. But his life means more to me...

While he was in the hospital we talked about everything. If he wanted out of the relationship, or if he wanted to quit trying. If I wanted either of those things. We worked things out... No babymaking until they find out what is wrong with him. He's in too much pain right now... But he doesn't want to stop. Neither do I. And we are splitting up either. So it all worked out. Except the love of my life being in pain

big big hugs to you!!! this is such a stressful journey. there were times when i thought i would kill my DH! don't let the stress tear you apart. men and women are very different. i remember when something would happen so that we would miss ovulation time and my DH would say, well it's not like we don't have next month to try... he just didn't get it. we had 4 losses and it was so difficult for him cause he had to stay strong for me. talk talk and more talk!! at least you'll both understand where each other is coming from! good luck and more hugs!!!

Ditto - Ditto - Ditto! The guys think totally differently than we do.

Have you spoken to your doctor about the progesterone cream? If you take progesterone before Ovulation it can actually keep you from ovulating that cycle.

((Hugs)) I am glad you both talked.
