Taking a break from infertility

Well i dont wanna give my whole story it will take hours! lol...but currently my hubby and i have decided to take a few months off from fertility. I am honestly heartbroken! We have done six IUI's and failed. We also suffered the loss of our doctor, whom we loved so much! I should be going in for my 2nd Lap. in August, until then were just gonna take it easy. I really am losing hope, i mean i just dont know if this is ever gonna happen for us...thanks for listening!

Sometimes a break is just what we need. We try to stick to 3 months on and then a month off for mental rest. We are on a long break right now. You have the advantage of age. I used to hate when people told me that, but I realized that my body doesn't want to behave in my 20's so we plan to adopt now and wait until I'm closer to 30 to try again. Sometimes it just takes time. Best of luck and enjoy your break.

Smile took a break too

hello I have had 4 artifical inseminations and now I am on my third round of IVF. I too had to take a break before this round. First of all I had to relieve some oof the stress. Give my poor body a break that has gained about 10 pounds. I just did my transfer last week and think this might be my round, wish me luck.

I went through 10 cycles of IUI. We have been on a break for about 3 months of fertility stuff. We went through classes to foster, had the homestudy. Now we have two boys living with us for a little while, ages 2 and 3. Our house is definately fuller and happier, but still wish we could have our own kids. I know exactly what you are going through.
