Hi ladies,
Just wanted to let you know that DH and I have decided to take a break from TTC... The last few days have been pretty horrible and emotionally taxing for us and after getting our hopes up again since my AF was missing we were really devastated when she suddenly showed her ugly face late last night...
I have come to a point were IF is ruling my life. Its affecting my studies, relationships and most importantly my mental sanity. So we both agreed that I really need to regain some perspective and decided that though it hurts like hell to admit it, it is probably time to get off the rollercoaster for just a little while... we decided to wait till I am finished with my doctorate which should be in about June to try again and probably go straight to IVF. I am scared and anxious about this decision but deep down I know it is best for me right now.
You have all been the most wonderful support over the last few months and wanted to tell you how much I have come to appreciate each and every one of you.
I will keep in touch and let you know how I am going via my journal and I wish you all a great x'mas, New Year and big bright BFP's ASAP :)
Lost of love, hugs and best wishes

I understand completely!! Thats what DH and I did, I couldn't mentally take it anymore, I was slipping into a depression that I just couldn't get out of every minute of every day was IF. We took about 5 months off, and guess what we got PG the old fasioned way, no drugs or anything, I was shocked. So I just wanted to let you know that I wish you all the luck in the world!!!

I am so sorry for your BFN. I totally understand the need for a break. I've had 5 IUIs total and 3 of them were three cycles in a row. I don't know how people keep doing it month after month. Those 3 months were so emotional not to mention the physical aspect with all the examinations and needles. You will know when you're ready to try again. Good luck to you!

Wishing you love, peace, and happiness --- I hope you are able to relax and refocus as you step away from the roller coaster of IF for awhile.
