Our best decision

So it's looking like taking the break has been the best decision we could have made. It feels like a weight has been taken off our shoulders and the blinders have been taken off. We're no longer overly focused on the desired end result of pregnancy. I feel like we have re-entered our lives and are enjoying ourselves again. I am finding that it doesn't hurt as much when I pass a pregnant woman and I am not as focused on the belly that she has that I don't. It still hurts a little, just not as much. This break has been our best decision.

Backing Off

After a lot of discussion, David and I have decided to take a short break from fertility treatments and anything pregnancy related. We have been going non-stop on this roller coaster since January and desperately need a break. We're discussing our options between doing the Frozen Embryo Transfer and starting at the beginning with another fresh cycle. We still haven't made our final decision, but we've started saving money for another fresh cycle in case we do decide to go that route. In the meantime, we've decided to enjoy each other's company. We haven't focused on ourselves and our time together as a couple in a really long time and I think it will do us a world of good to get back to that. I have stopped taking all medications, even prenatal vitamins, and am giving my body a much needed holiday. We will see what the future holds. In the meantime, we're going to get back to being a couple again.
