We made a decision

firefightersgal

I talked to DH this afternoon about what our next step in TTC should be.  He told me he would go along with whatever I wanted to do, but I could *feel* he had an opinion he didn't want to voice.  I had talked myself into staying on the Clomid this cycle and even had it called in for me.  My doctor upped my dosage again to 150 mg.  Anyway, after talking, we decided to take a break for a few months.  I will be a full-time on-campus college student (again) starting in the fall, so a middle-of-the-semester baby would be tougher than we need.  We'll probably start TTC again in July, since I highly doubt I'll get pregnant right away. 

I'm super sad about this, but I know it is the right thing to do.  July seems forever away and I'm terrified that I'll essentially be starting over--prolonging our efforts to TTC even more.  *sigh*  I wish this weren't so difficult.

Maybe taking a break and not being so stressed will help out! I hope things happen quickly for you guys when you do start trying again!

I know that's a rough decision. Maybe the break will be a good thing, you know? (((Hugs)))

July is only 10 weeks away!! It'll be here before you know it! GL with your plan, I can only imagine how hard it would be. It took us a year to get pg with this baby, so I know some, but I didn't have near what you've been through! ((HUGS))

I'm bummed for you!  But, like Marce said, July will be here before you know it. 

Have you gotten any sort of diagnosis?

Awww, I am sorry. :-(

I'm sorry.  Even though it does seem like it's right for your family at the moment, that's still hard.  I don't want this to come off wrong- but I do recall you posting your age before & you are still pretty young.  I don't mean to be flip about that at ALL because I understand wanting to have another baby, no matter what your age. But you have time on your side.  After my m/c I was pushing 36 and terrified that I'd never have another baby because we didn't have a lot of time.  I also give you kudos for really listening to your husband.  It's hard to step back when you're on a mission!  Best of luck.  You seem like such a sweetheart and I wish the best for you.

EMT: No formal diagnosis.  I don't ovulate on my own, which leads to cycles that essentially go on into infinity without medical intervention.  I'm nervous about going off of my meds and going back to my old way of life.

ilovemygirls: I am young, you are right.  I'm 26.  However, my daughter is 3 1/2 and I didn't want a huge gap in between my kids. I didn't get that choice, though.  Thanks for your kind words.  (And everyone else's!)

I understand not wanting that gap- and it truly just sucks that it's not how you want it to be.  Wishing you tons of speedy baby dust

Even though it might not seem like it, maybe a break is what you guys need.  Give yourself a break, and some rest from all that baby stuff for a bit.  Maybe you when you start again, things will happen quick!
