.....really take a break, or give up TTC? Especially after a loss?

Here I am supposedly in the middle of a break. I've broke down and started using OPKs again. (The line is supper faint. Not sure if it's just about gone, or just starting to show up though. GRRR) I am obsessing just as much as I ever have. I did good for the first part of my cycle, but CD 15 rolled around and the TTC monster broke free and took over again. I'm really starting to think I might never have another baby. Maybe it just isn't meant to be. But then I also can't imagine ever giving up. TTC has been so much a part of my life for the past two years that I don't think I'd be able to stop until I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt (tubal, vasectomy or menopause) that I couldn't get pregnant. Does anyone else ever feel that way?

i dont think you ever really take a break as its always in the back of your mind. (the very front in my case)
im "on a break" yet im still charting everything that i can and getting stressed because my body didnt O when it was supposed to.
i often wondered if i would ever have another baby after having my ovary removed. then i got pregnant with my angel and i knew i could so doubted i could ever have a sticky bean again. i still doubt it sometimes but i am pretty sure il always have baby fever and never give up on the idea of having another much wanted baby

I told DH that we couldn't start trying again until July, but we started right away. I went back on my word. I just don't want to wait. Knowing that I was carrying a baby before was the best feeling in the world. Now that I don't have that anymore, I want it so badly. I don't think I could ever take a break.

Hun those are normal feelings. I to went through them all. I though wow its taking me 1 year so far to get pregnant what am i doing so wrong. Then i would get pregnant again and i would lose the baby. Going through so many tests to see whats wrong with DH or I. and everything is coming back normal. Your only human and you want to be a mother so bad, but its not working in your favor. You will get a bfp before you know it!!

I agree with Brandy... I think it is totally normal. I don't know that I'll ever stop TTC, at least not until I have one more healthy baby. And then I would miss POAS, I think...

Big Hugs!

i don't think as women we ever give up wanting to. i originally said we'd try until this summer, cuz after that my son will 6 and i didn't want them too far apart. now that i've had a m/c and have to start over, and it's almost summer, i don't care how long it takes, i want to try until we have another one. even if it means they are 10 yrs apart lol.

DBF plans on getting the big V, and I still want to try to have one more at some point, even if it can't happen.
