The hubby and I were at each other's throats about 4 months ago after we finally decided we would officially TTC. About a month or two ago, after we found out I have PSOC, we decided to take a break. WHAT A RELIEF! I can't say it cured our disputes but it took a lot of stress off of both of us. Now after avoiding one ovulation and another one coming up soon he has been talking about cute baby stuff again, "Maybe soon you can be a stay at home and you won't have to worry about your job anymore." That kinda cute stuff... Which gets me excited again but I have enjoyed not having that stress, or the phantom signs & symptoms of a pregnancy. Basically I have enjoyed not mind F-ing myself 24/7. So I asked that we avoid one more ovulation & I could tell that he was disappointed. It breaks my heart because it took him so long to get to the point where he wants to be a dad.

I just want a little bit more time to prepare myself better and get my head on straight. I am hoping that this time off will help me control my roller coaster better so it is a nice smooth ride. Plus we have all heard the stories that if you just relax and enjoy yourself it happens.

How did you and your spouse handle taking a break and who brought it up?
