Feeling a little discouraged again

This week I should be ovulating and want so badly to ttc. I don't want to pressure my husband or even bring it up. We got intimate last night and he hesitated again. I did not bring anything up for fear of pressuring him. I'm not sure how to handle this especially when this is a crucial week for me. I don't want to start stressing again but I just don't know what to do. I don't want this week to go by and be a waste of a moment to be able to try again. Not sure if I should bring it up in a nice coversation tonight. So confused again. I'm hoping tonight will be a better one.

Has your husband communicated with you that he's ready to try again? You may have to wait for him. My husband hesitated at first, but in the end he just gave in, knowing it would make me happy. This maybe wasn't a good thing. I realize this now. I was just hurting so badly that it's all I really wanted. I felt like holding that little baby at the end was a goal I had to achieve. In our situation it worked out the way it should, though. Your husband may be hesitant, because he's scared. Men have a hard time communicating their feelings sometimes.

Know that I'm thinking of you. I know how hard it is when you want something so badly....

Ah, having to second guess yourself, and handle your partner so delicately, sounds like an added stress. If talking about it feels too confrontational for you, do you thinking writing him a letter would help?
Hope you get your rainbow this month.
Hugs,

Thank you angel mommies for your comfort and support. I have written him letters in the past but he is the type of person that likes to talk in person, however, when I go that route, he clams up. I want to say that was a hiccup along the path but we have been much better since. I haven't brought it up, but he hasn't hesitated since. I'm hoping and praying for a positive pregnancy test in a couple of weeks.
