TTC after 35

I'm so weird.

I am really tempted not to TTC this cycle.  AF will be due when we are on vacation and I am always depressed for a day upon her arrival.  I think it might be better not to try this cycle so I don't spend a vacation day depressed.  I doubt I will actually be able to do this, but I like the idea.  I'm a freak.

Re: I'm so weird.

  • Not weird at all. Taking a break from TTC every once in a while is a vacation itself. No stress, no worry, no wondering. Enjoy your trip!

  • I would not be able to do this.  But maybe try and don't stress?  That might be hard too.

    I love your wedding pic if I did not already tell you that!

  • I don't think you're weird either.  Sometimes we just need a break.

    Have fun on your vacation!

  • Well if you're weird than so am I because I'm considering the same thing for different reasons.

    My husband goes hunting this month with his brother and dad, then he plans on going hunting another weekend with a co-worker.  I need to figure out the weekends and see how they correspond with my ovulation. If they don't or if it's iffy than we will go med free because I don't want to waste another cycle of meds.

    At this point I figure another month can't hurt.  *shrug*

  • You're not a freak. This process is overwhelming and you just need a month not to think about it. Enjoy your vacation!
  • Agreed!  You are not a freak - I've done this several times in the last 2+ years.  Sometimes you just NEED a break.  And when I look back at the few times that I did do this, those months were carefree for me.  If you feel like you need some time to just let go of the stress, then do it!  :)
  • I've taken breaks and I highly recommend it.
  • You are not weird. This TTC stuff messes with all of our heads. You're perfectly normal!

     

    I say: Take a break from the charting, etc. And just BD when you feel like it. And ENJOY your vacation!

  • When I was on my forced break after the D&C, it was actually nice to not worry and wait in two week increments. No waiting to O, then waiting to see if I got lucky that month. If it helps you to more fully enjoy your fabulous vacation, then it's totally a good idea!

  • Take a break.  I took a break this summer, and it was so nice.  I felt like I had my body back again.
  • I agree with the other ladies. Take a break. I certainly plan to when we go to Mexico in Feb.!
  • Thanks for making me feel normal everyone!
