Slowing things down a bit...

in Trouble TTC

Well I think I am trying to take on too much right now. We were going to jump right into another cycle, but I think we are going to scratch that. I am in the process of potentially quitting my job and going to another agency, we are in the process of getting Pre-approved for a house loan and at the same time trying to do a cycle....not gonna happen! I think sometimes I try to take on too much to compensate sadness of not being able to conceive....does that make sense? Kind of cover up the pain in a way....I think some of you could relate!

 So, I'm planning on canceling my CD3 ultrasound and slow things down for a couple of weeks at least until I successfully switch jobs. I still plan to participate on the board because you ladies are the best and keep me motivated to keep going :) 

Me: 27, DH: 29*** TTC since November 2011 *** Dx with PCOS in September 2012 
***September 2012: IUI #1 = BFN*** 
 ***October 2012: IUI #2 = cancelled due to not responding to meds ***
 ***February 2013: IUI #3 - BFN ***
 *** April 2013: Gonal-f, HCG Trigger and TI = BFN*** 
 ***May/June 2013: TAKING A BREAK.***
***July 2013: Gonal-f, Trigger and TI = BFN***
***August 2013: Gonal-f, Trigger and TI = Cancelled due to over-stimulating***
***September/October 2013: Fermara, Gonal-f, Trigger and TI = BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beta #1: 65, Beta #2: 210!!!!!!***

    Totally can relate- if we are out this cycle, we are talking about taking a month break before getting back to it.  Hard decision but I know it is the right one for us. GOOD LUCK- you have a lot going on!

    Good luck with the job change and your home loan.  I hope that a break is just what you need (it really is just what I needed)!

    It sounds like a good idea and I wish you the best. We were in house hunting hell for about 6 months until we closed on our house last year. We had a horrible experience, and I couldn't imagine dealing with that stress along with job and IF stress. I hope your job transition goes smoothly and good luck with the house!!

    Good luck with the job switch and home loan! both of those things are so stressful, I couldn't imagine doing a medicated cycle along with it! I definitely feel like I am piling on too much, I applied to graduate school in November and found out I got in. So in August I will be working full time, graduate school part-time, and who knows where I will be on the ttc journey. I wish nothing but the best of luck to you and I hope you still participate with us. Keep us posted on all of the exciting changes!!

    Wow.  Good luck on the job change and the home loan.  Those can be both exciting and stressful all at the same time.  I think taking some time off can be really beneficial.  You know your body and what you can comfortably handle and I admire you for being able to recognize what is best for you even it is a hard decision.  Wishing you all the best!
