I'm sad to have to say this, but I think I'm going to have to go back on my meds for my bipolar which means no TTC. I feel like a failure. MH has been very supportive about this, we knew it was a possiblity. Just because I can't do it now doesn't mean I'll never be able to do it, but right now I just can't handle it. So since we won't be TTC I'll be leaving the bump, I mean there's no reason to be here anymore. I can't even begin to explain how hard this is on me. I cried for quite a while last night. I know it's kind of soon to be throwing in the towel, but when you know in these situations you know. I have to catch it before it gets too bad.

Anyway, thank you all for your support this month and for accepting me after my major newb mistake. I'll miss you girls and chat. I hope you all get BFPs soon.

I'm so sorry... my friend is going through a similar situation and struggled for a long time with whether or not she could while taking her meds. My thoughts and prayers are with you and keep your head up! It sounds like you have a very supportive DH and that's important.

Take care and hope to see you around these parts someday

I'm so sorry Closure, but you should be proud of yourself for making a choice that is best for you and YH now, and what is best for your future LO. As you said, just bc you can't do it now doesn't mean you can't in the future. GL to you.

I'm so sorry closure. (((hugs)))

manda42 · April 2011

I'm so sorry Closure! We'll miss you

You are making the right decision. I know it's hard, but right now, you have to look after yourself. I hope that when you are ready, you'll be back. I wish you luck.

I'm so sorry! I'm sure that this was a really difficult decision for you to make. I think the fact that you were able to decide to do what's best for your own mental health, even though it means waiting to have a baby, shows that you're able to make hard decisions for the benefit of your family - I think that's a quality that will help you to be a good mother once you and your husband decide that it's time to try again. Good luck!

I'm so sorry best wishes and best of luck to you.

Thank you all for the kind words and support. I really needed it today. I might hop over to the nest since I have an account now so if any of you are on there maybe I'll see you around. So if you want to PM me or anything feel free.

BrittanyLaRae · April 2011

Sad to hear this, but you have to do what is right for you and your family right now. I will miss you in chat. Good luck to you; as others have said, nothing is impossible! I hope that things work out, and you can begin trying again soon when you are ready. God bless! =]

BitsKD13 · April 2011

I'm sorry you'll be leaving us, but you need to take care of yourself first and foremost. Good luck and I hope your TTC break will be just what you need.

MGW4034 · April 2011

I just wanted to say that despite how hard it is to put TTC on hold, it is commendable that you recognize that you need go to back on your meds. I struggle with Bipolar myself and I know how hard it can be. Try to view it in terms of taking care of yourself first. I was in this exact same position early last year. Best of luck to you!

griff45 · April 2011

I am sorry you are going through this. Hang in there!

btaylor19 · April 2011

I'm so sorry closure. I hope that we see you back here soon, but you have to take care of yourself first.

melissa721 · April 2011

I'm so sorry

hopefully you can figure out a way to keep yourself healthy while still TTC. Good luck doll

mrssoprano · April 2011

I'm so sorry. I can partially understand as I struggle with depression and was unable to go completely off my meds. Good for you, though, for doing what is best for you. (((hugs)))

I'm really sorry

I think it's good you are doing this though, it will be better in the long run. I think it is responsible of you to take care of yourself first, before adding onto your family.

Good luck, I hope you are able to join us again soon!!

You are definitely making the right decision for a future healthy mom and baby. Have you talked to your psychiatrist about things? There are some non-traditional bipolar medications that can be taken while TTC. It is also possible to re-start some meds after the first trimester....just a thought.
