I'm not sure but right now I need a break. I found out on Monday, that they will not check DH's count for another 2 months, because even though the person that did the surgery thinks that he'd see significant results after a month, the uro and the RE are focused on that 3 month average. On an another note, due to some meds that need to be taken right now, we are on a 2-4 cycle break. Completely opposite of what we thought, counting down the days to AF to get back on the horse, so this is a pretty big blow for us. I am just beside myself right now, and of course, have a baby shower this weekend. I am hoping its only 2 months, but the way things have been going, I have about zero hope and optimism at this point.
I will probably still lurk and will follow you girls. I hope to see a BFP boom in the next few days, weeks, and months. I'm rooting for everyone here, whether I'm posting or not.
Re: I may not be around for a while.
I wish I could give you a big hug right now. I hate how hard this all is.
I hope your break gives you some peace; you will be missed.
Love & luck to my 3TC girls. Congrats to Omega-The boys are here!
If there's one thing I've learned while waiting my turn,
it's that in each life some rain falls but you also get some sun.

This bothers me. I have been on a break most of this year and only got to try last cycle. This cycle might be a bust due to my cyst and I may be put on another break. With IF and TTC for over 3 years, a break is almost the end of the world. I did everything to keep my mind off of it, but it still sucked that a lot of my friends got BFP's while I sat on the bench.
Thanks ladies. I know she was trying to help but I JUST spent 2 cycles on a break so that was like a slap in the face. Now we're looking at possibly 6 months of my year. Oh and to add salt in the wound, just got my CBE fertility sticks in the mail today. FML.
I know she was trying to be nice and sweet, but that line just got me worked up. It might be my hormones from the meds, or maybe I'm just being a biitch today. I just found it in a way insensitive. It's something my friends who don't have IF would say. I'm so sorry hon I really hope the break is shorter than that! Mine was for 5 months and now maybe 6. GL hon!
