Okay so this infertility bit is really taking a toll on my marriage.
Im just angry at the world and I know I treat my husband differently than I did but the fact is finding out that you are not going to have kids like everybody else is life changing and it has changed me.
While I want children so bad I dont want to ruin my life trying to have them. Ive been running and golfing, taking up new hobbies because I want my life to be filled with fun and happiness even if its not the way that I had planned.
I just feel like I cant connect to him right now and its not his fault at all, really he just wants something out of life that Im not sure that I can give him... anybody else feel this way sometimes?

Sometimes, I feel that way at least once a day! All you can do is love him, and let him love you, and try to work this out in whatever way you can, together. He married you, not your uterus.

I am so glad to hear that I'm not as psychotic as I thought! I am constantly telling DH that he can leave me for someone fertile. It's so heartbreaking to know that I can't give him another child. (He has one from a previous marriage.)

You are not the only one... My husband and I have been through so much, not just with inertility but with other life changing events. Unfortunately for him I am one of those people who hate having to rely on other people to take care of me, and he is so wonderful about it all. I was laid up for 2 months after being hit by a drunk driver (4 months before my wedding mind you). He was so wonderful about just letting me stubborn and turning the other way when I had my little fits of anger that I couldn't do things for myself. Now is the same thing. Adding hormones to the equation doesn't exactly help and I am constantly apologizing for being so hyperactivly hormonal. Everytime he tells me I am imagining things and he loves me. I have also told him I am scared of losing him and if he wanted to leave to find someone to have kids with I would understand... he just tells me that if it has to be just usm then that is what it will have to be and that he married me because he loved me, not because I was a potential baby making machine. He is so elliquite lol Overall, if you have a strong relationship with your husband, have no worries, he married you because he loves you, not because you a potential baby making machine :)

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
