Three years and 5 miscarriages is all we can take. DH and I have decided to stop TTC. We won't be preventing, but we won't be trying anymore either. It's a relief honestly. No more waking up early to check my temperature, no more constantly think about how one thing or another might affect me if I am pregnant. Actually being able to take medicines when I am sick, no more stressing over am I or aren't I.

I'll still pop in and check on you all from time to time, but I wanted to drop in and give you all my saved up baby dust. I hope it brings you better luck than it has me.

I'll still pop in from time to time. The more that we discuss this, the more at peace I feel. I'll stop in from time to time and check on everyone, but for now I am moving over to the WTTC board. We are going to both work on losing some weight and getting healthier, and work on saving up some money. Once we have our goal in saving and both near our goal weight we'll try again.

Oh Stephanie, I know that was a hard decision to make. I'm glad you are at peace with it. I hope that the not trying/not preventing will bring you a very sticky BFP. I will continue to pray for you and look for your updates on how you are doing.

I understand hun and I know it will be nice to enjoy each other for a while. When DH and were married I had told myself I wouldn't try for a baby and we didn't try for 3 years and it was nice to be just be ourselves and when the time came to try I was more relaxed than I was when my x and i were trying.

Just give yourself a break, you wil know when the times right to try again, GOD will let you know

TTC can certainly be a strain on our emotions and our relationships. Good luck while NTNP! Thanks for the baby dust.

I totally understand where you are coming from.

I do believe that you WILL have another baby someday. Only HE knows when the time is right. I am glad you have found some peace in your decision. If you ever need anything.... just say so

Love ya girl!
