S/O bump break

MrsTran021310 · February 2011

I know there are a lot of girls already on a bump break right now and I myself am considering a break. (Even though I haven't been around much lately anyway. But that's because of work, not because I am on a break.) So, I was just curious who else is in the same boat and considering a break in the near future?

I was also wondering who else is taking a temp break?

I am taking a temp break and we aren't TTC this month until we get more tests back. I haven't been on the board much lately, sometimes it makes me obsess too much about TTC. I do really love the ladies on here though!

I am! I'm on a charting break, and I'm seriously considering a bump break, too. I think being on here often makes me more preoccupied with the fact that I'm not pregnant than I ought to be.

I wonder if taking a break is a normal reaction to being in the 6-12 months trying "bracket" ?

I've sort of taken a bump break. I've been really disappointed after the last BFN, and, coupled with a ton of work lately, I've been a bit quiet. And I stopped taking my temp a long time ago.

I am definitely on a temping break. I was already skipping it during the 2ww and my cycles are pretty consistent, so I decided to completely stop for now. My stress is way down this cycle and I like it

I always miss seeing those who take a break from TB, but I also hope the break helps them.

If this cycle isn't our cycle we will be taking a TTC/bump/temp break until July due to my work.

I'm pretty sure I'll be taking a bump break if this cycle isn't the one. DH & I (and pretty much everyone I'm close enough to IRL to talk babies with) feel like I'm putting too much pressure on myself to get pregnant again before our EDD of June 3rd. I'm thinking not logging into the bump - or at least not as often, might help me to relax a little and not think babies all day. I want to get back to the mindset I had before we were pregnant, when TTC was just really happy and fun. Sometimes I wonder if that's even possible anymore though.

I will be taking a TTC break for a few months. I might still chart and stalk a little bit here but I think this has taken over my life for the past few months. I want BD to be fun and I think I have been stressing DH out. I'll be going on vacation in two months and it will be more fun if I'm not PG so maybe when I'm back well start trying again.

I'm considering both a charting break and a Bump break. Honestly, I think it would be easier for me to stop charting for a bit...it's so easy to get online to check out TB! I would probably need DH to somehow block access to the site from home or something :P

Thanks for the comments ladies. It's nice to feel like I am not alone. I am not taking a bump break yet but it may be on the horizon. Although I think I might take a TTC break before a bump break because I would miss you ladies far too much. Big Smile

I took a brief Bumpcation during the 2ww in my last cycle. I considered doing the same for this cycle's 2ww, but my cycle has been really wonky and I felt compelled to ask the experts here about what was going on. I promised DH that I'd take a temp break in cycle #4.

Hey you! I've wondered where you've been. I am all for bump breaks. I've taken several, and I still do not spend as much time on here as I did before. I think it helps me to not see all things baby all day ever day. If I can focus on other things even for a few hours, it greatly reduces my stress.

And I'm not temping anymore because my RE said to ditch it. I'm just going to use OPKs this cycle, and next cycle I'll be monitored since I'm doing an IUI, so I won't even have to use them after this month. It's a great feeling for me to have my "life" back!

I hope you are able to find some comfort in taking a break too. Best wishes Mrs. Tran!

We'll be TTA for the next 2-3 cycles, so I may or may not be on a Bump break lol. I don't know if I'll be totally inactive because this board is a lot of fun, but I'm not nearly as active as usual.

I am taking a semi temp break - I only temped the week of ovulation and stopped when I got crosshairs. What a relief it's been not to be waiting to see what my chart is going to do. I am also trying to ease off the board but it's been tough to quit cold turkey
