Stopping ttc for a while

[VenusStarr]

I'm going to speak to my dh tonight about stopping trying. I've been feeling quite stressed and anxious recently (have been tracking). We've previously discussed me not tracking and just going with the flow but after a late night chat it seems he's been bottling up some of his stress too.

I feel sad that it's affecting us both like this, especially as we're only on cycle 7. But it feels like the right thing to pause ttc. I do want a baby but not at the cost of mine or his mental health. Has anyone else been in a similar position?

It’s horrible isn’t it? We’re in a very similar situation at the minute. I think we’re going to go with the flow too. If AF turns up tomorrow then a break is in order.

You never know. Maybe a pause will be just the thing you need? Xx

I've heard lots of people say they've caught on when they've stopped trying. Good luck x

Sorry to hear you're in a similar situation @MumOfOne2018, it's really horrible.

I hope you don't have to break too but like you say might not be a negative thing for either of us x

Thank you @Yakadee
