If You're On a Forced TTC Break...

Isn't it tough to go through a cycle and see signs of O on your chart and then watch it come and go and not take advantage of it? 

I'm on a forced TTC break while my thyroid regulates and I felt like I wasted an egg this month! 

DH was disappointed too. 

TTC in 2008. Stage II/III endo, Hashimotos hypothyroid, low morph (3%).
2 cycles Clomid/Ovidrel/TI/Crinone=BFN.
IUI #1 - 4 Follistim/Ovidrel/IUI/Crinone = BFN.
IVF #1 - Antagonist w/ ICSI 4/10. 17 retrieved, 5DT of 2, BFN :(

Lap 7/21/10

    Yup.  Last month I had EWCM for like 7 days straight.  The most I have had since I started TTC/charting (7 months).  I also had a 12 day LP which is pretty long for me.  Such a bummer.

    I went through 4 months of a somewhat forced break last May - Sept.  prior to my lap.    May, June, and July we could still try on our own, but with our history we knew it wouldn't happen, plus it was only 2 cycles because I O so late.   Those were some depressing months.   Aug and Sept was truly a forced break being back on BCP for lap.

    I hear you.  I'm still not Oing since I'm on BC, but I get crazy phantom symptoms every month now. Edit: (O symptoms)  I have to take a deep breath and remember it's just my hormones being forced to do what they are supposed to do and the androgen levels going down.

    I'm on a self-imposed forced break till next summer. It SUCKS. I get so excited about Oing and then it's just a wasted egg, as you say. I just have to think about it in a different way: those eggs were not meant to be my children. If they were, I wouldn't have m/c'd and I would already be prepared for them. It doesn't make it a TON easier, but it helps.

    I haven't had to take a break since TTC, but I know how you feel and it sucks. DH and I decided to start TTC Nov. 2007, but he freaked out a little and we ended up taking a break from talking about it (I had already bought TCOYF and was totally ready). We didn't officially start TTC until Nov. 2008. The entire year of waiting was awful. Hang in there. I hope you'll get a BFP your first cycle back!
