Avoiding Babies
Avoiding Babies is not an easy thing to do. I was really trying to avoid all thing baby - like pregnant women and little baby clothes - you know all that. It seems I can avoid it to a degree - I have not been on the nest. Which is helping. I have found so much support, help and love from the women on that board and on the nest in general - but right now - I feel I do not have much to contribute right now since I am not cycling and I just need a break from TTC period. But this is not such an easy task. There is babies everywhere - and pregnant women and baby clothes and brith annoucements and pregnancy annoucements and baby showers. I guess I really cannot avoid it. But to be honest I have really been feeling better. Not so depressed. Happy to just be living life. I have been losing weight - which I love and working out and I am even able to have a few glasses of wine which is nice. John and I have felt normal again - not constantly talking about having children or getting pregnant- it is nice. Sure it is always in the back of my head no matter what I do - I think about our next step - saving money and doing IVF - but at least now it is not always on the fore front of my mind.

I second that idea...we've put it all on hold for a while also. We both (DH and I) were getting a little overwhelmed with all that TTC entails. It's always in the back of my mind...I just need some time to be "me" for a while...
I am glad to hear that you are feeling better and enjoying things. I bet the weather getting nicer is helping too. You can get out and do things to keep your mind off of IVF for a while now that spring is almost here
Its nice to have a break, I think anyone dealing with IF reached a point in thier journey where a break is completley nessasary. I know I sure enjoyed my 3 month break and came back feeling refreshed and with a new outlook!
I am glad you are feeling better!
Breaks are wonderful, and in my opinion need every once and a while.
Enjoy this time :D
Glad to see that your enjoying your break:) I took a long break before ever going to an RE. I was depressed and felt overwhelmed... About the money, what it ment we would be headed for, and would it work?? I felt horrible at that
time:( I was a very miserable person. After a LONG break I started to slowly feel better:) And now I'm very excited and determined to do what needs to be done.(even though I still have some bad days) I guess thats just a part of IF. Hope you continue to have good days. I'm glag your feeling better.

I swear we are so in the same boat about putting things on hold, yet still thinking about saving for IVF! And also feeling a little better not trying so hard ( as hard as that is) just wanted to send over some hugs!
Good for you--- living your life! It is much easier said than done when you are dealing with IF. Keep blogging- I enjoy reading what you have to say.
Having a break from TTC and focusing on yourself is a good idea. It sounds as though you have a good plan in place, to save up for IVF. And you certainly have time on your side. I'm very hopeful that it will work out for you.
I'm glad that you're enjoying your break and starting to feel better.
It's hard to avoid something that seems to be everywhere...keep your head up; I am praying for you and yours :)
God Bless,
Tiffany
