>>We also came to a tough decision about conceiving. Because I am

battling with depression over the IF, we will continue to try until

July and then if no luck, we are going to take an indefinate break.

My dh is concerned about my emotional health. It is partly a relief,

cause there is an end in sight (for intense disappointments). But I

also feel a bit sick about it, because I feel like a wimp who is

giving up on a dream. I just don't know how much longer I could take

this, though. Maybe a break is just what we'll need. Of course, I'm

holding out for a pos HPT before then:-)

Hi ,

I've often wondered if emotional stress can get in the way of concieving.

It seems possible, considering the effect it can have on our hormones and

brain chemicals. You're definitely not alone in feeling mixed emotions

about this ... ttc can sometimes develop into a way of life, and that's

hard to change. I don't know if you use fertility friend, but they actually

offer the option of putting your subscription on hold to take a break.

Think about that ... needing a break must be a thing many people experience

while TTC for them to add that option. I know it doesn't make it easier,

but I guess I just wanted to send you a mental hug and say we're here if

you need us - MA related or not :-) Now ... enjoy some non-baby making sex,

have a glass of wine (if that's your thing) and find your smile.

Take care...
