Forced break cycle :(

in Trouble TTC

After the BFN yesterday and my cramps still here, I know AF is around the corner. I had my thyroid level checked again last week and it jumped up to 4.86 from 2.6 in 2 weeks, so the RE is forcing us to take a break until it lowers. To make matters worse, I have come down with a YI. When it rains, it pours. The only good thing? My dad is getting discharged today. I was really hoping to get a BFP as I think that would have helped him in his recovery... or at least make him feel a bit better and know that there is something for him to live for/look forward to.

For those who were on forced breaks, how did you deal with them andnot get depressed or go crazy?

    I was on a 2 month forced break due to a large cyst and honestly I wanted to go crazy in the beginning, but reading and enjoying the Summer, relaxing and distracting myself, really helped and now I am totally refreshed, less bitter and more hopeful. Sometimes forced breaks are helpful :)  GL to you.

    DH and I were on a break this last cycle, but we couldn't have sex at all. Honestly though, With his surgeries and follow-ups, we were so busy that it flew by. Sorry I'm not much help, but I hope it goes quick for you and things get straightened out soon!

    I'm sorry, Mo.  I hope your levels lower soon.  Good news about your dad, though, hopefully that helps a bit. 

    I had to take a cycle off and I honestly really enjoyed it.  When you've been trying for a while, it's nice to have a break.

    Ugh I'm so sorry.  I know how frustrating that must be. I hope that this month is more pleasant and goes more quickly than you think it will... enjoy the pressure and appointment free time!

    I had a forced break for most of this summer due to bad vacation timing. It was hard. I did get a little down, but I tried to keep myself busy. I hope it goes by quickly for you!

    I went on a diet and dropped 23lbs. Then with the injects I gained back 15. But none the less I was happy at the time! I'm so sorry I know how much breaks suck!! GL hon!

    I"m so sorry. Forced breaks are no fun. The only advice I have to try to make them fly by is to plan things to look forward to, even if it is just a pedicure on a weekend, or getting out with friends. Having those little things to look forward to helps. ((hugs))

    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.

    Thanks ladies Smile I think I am going to use this time to try to lose some weight. Since my thyroid really went haywire last year, I have gained more weight than I would like to admit.
