Decided to take a vacation

madhatterxo

My DH and I have not only decided to take a break this cycle, but we just decided to go on vacation to Florida for 9 days in April.        I really, really need a vacation!!  I think we're going to make it a real break from trying to get pregnant, and just enjoy ourselves.  Does anyone else feel the need for a break sometimes?  I don't want to be selfish, but I can't remember the last time that I didn't have babies on my mind, and opks and bbt, and cm.  I just want to relax.

Good for you!!!  I did take a break in Februrary and went to San Antonio for a week.  It was the first time in a long time that I actually did forget what cycle day it was and I really relaxed for the whole month.  I think it's what stopped me from going insane. Have fun and enjoy the warm weather!

I think a vacation sounds heavenly!!

Hope you have a great trip!!

Since being on board with our RE (a year ago in Feb) we have taken 2 breaks. It was so nice! We still had some hope of course that maybe it would happen. And this is because my cycles are pretty regular.

It truly helped me mentally.

Have a wonderful vaca!

I absolutely feel you need to take a break.  I took a break for about 2 months after IVF #2...or 3 depending how you want to count it.  I really hope you enjoy your FL vacation!

A vacation sounds nice!

I'm in the middle of a 3 month break and it has been very nice.

I think a break is a brilliant idea, especially given how hard last cycle sounded on you physically.  I hope the sunny Florida weather turns things around!

That is wonderful!  Enjoy your well-deserved vacation.

Thanks everyone!!  We're headed to Boca Raton for 9 days.   My husband's a teacher so he has spring recess starting on April 15th.  Last cycle was really rough on me so I need to be really relaxed in order to start the next medicated cycle.  I'm going to my RE tomorrow to discuss why the last cycle failed and what my next step will be in May (unless of course, I magically get pregnant naturally in the next 30 days).  I'll have my laptop with me so I can still bump!  (I love bumping!!)

Yep! I understand! I took a 9 day break from grad school and work and went to Paris and London in March. You need a mental break sometimes! Have fun and hang in there!
