Thinking about stopping........

Have not been around for a while cos have been doing a serious bit of thinking.
Basically, I am after some opinions please. My ttc history is that I conceived first time after about 3 months, the next 2 times were COMPLETE surprises and the last time in 3 months. I had a missed mc in Jan at 11 weeks and have basically been trying again ever since, although the cycle in Jan and Feb were not really trying, more just not using contraception. When period arrived in March and April I was utterly distraught and miserable. May and June, still miserable and gutted. I know there is no chance this month cos we completely missed the right time which I think I'm actually plesed about cos I don't think I want to keep doing this and putting myself through all the disappointment.
So my question is, do I just keep trying, do I take a break or do I stop altogether? My head tells me I should just take a break but this isn't completely straight forward because of contraception. I know that if I just leave it I'll still be over analysing in my head about the possibility of getting pg. And if we use condoms I know that I'll still be saying to myself "oh, if we forget the condom just this time I might get pg"! So I wouldn't really be taking a break from all this ttc malarkey at all! So I want to know, is a gp likely to prescribe the pill for me just for 2 or 3 months?
Opinions appreciated please, but please remember that I am just trying to get my thoughts straight on this one!

Thanks so much for a really inspirational message. I'm not at the stopping stage yet, but as the months go by (15 with one mc)it really is easy to lose sight of yourself. Failing at this is a big issue for me too, but I think it has taught me some humility which is no bad thing . We have one DD (3.5) and in retrospect I was appallingly smug at conceiving her quickly. I have also started on a alternative track (which isn't something I would have expected either) and talking to both my acupuncturist and counsellor has been great - without them I think DH and I would be in real trouble as the ttc process seems to cause all sorts of conflict.

Anyway, I just wanted to say good luck for the rest of your pregnancy and thanks again - it is nice to hear some good news!
