Most of this is just copy/pasted from TTCAL, but I added a bit for you ladies. I just wanted to update you a little..... mostly because I don't have anyone else to talk to about this.

I just wanted to come on here real quick to update you ladies on my situation. I don't want a big drawn out goodbye, but I also don't want to just disappear either. I am fairly certain that I am out this cycle. AF is due on the 26th or so (I guess... I didn't really chart) but to get pregnant, you have to have sex and well, we didn't. Twice this cycle was it. Once way too early and once way too late.

With that said, I am taking a break from JM. Nothing to do with anyone here. This place (JM) has been my safe haven for 3 years, but because of TTC, and the strain it has put on me and DH, we are now having some pretty serious problems. Serious enough that we are done TTC. I am calling Monday to set up an appointment to get an IUD (something I SWORE I would never do.) If things get better, we'll re-evaluate in 6 months to a year. I doubt it will though. DH bailed out on our cruise in May (supposed to be for my 30th birthday). He decided that he doesn't want to go and suggested that I take a friend of mine from work (a guy) so for my 30th birthday I will spend a week in paradise with another man.

I tried to explain to him that I was unhappy and I felt if we didn't fix something we are likely headed towards a divorce, and he responded by pushing me further and further away. I don't know when I will be back to JM. I have to adjust to not TTC before I can be here though. If you want to keep in touch and you have facebook, you can click on the link in my siggy to add me.

I will truly miss you guys, and I am dumping four years worth of saved up baby dust on each and everyone of you. I hope you all have beautiful, sticky BFP's very soon!

I am so sorry Stephanie; TTC and marriage are hard, combine the two and it can be a huge mess. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I pray you find comfort in your IUD decision, and that your marriage can be strengthened. I am behind you with whatever decision you make. BTW, when I got pg with Nolan, we only bd'd twice that month, and it was nowhere near O time. Just throwing it out there, there's always hope.
I'll find you on FB

Hey, I can't offer many words but wanted to acknowledge your post and pain! I hope you and your hub work things out - I am sure he is just hurting and lashing out unfairly. Men do bottle these things up more than we do and so he hasn't had an outlet like we do coming here. I know my hub has felt pushed out and left on the backburner ever since my daughter was born and then with unsuccessfully ttc on top! We've come close to break-up a few times.
