Hi ladies!
So, I used my last CBE today at 11-12DPO and it was BFN as I expected. DH and I had a talk yesterday and after the miscarriage in August we really felt like it was best for us to just have one child. With life pressures (age, family, etc etc) we decided this would be the time if any to make sure of what we wanted so we tried again. I know that 3 months isn't a great deal of time to be trying but we both honestly feel that maybe we were meant to just have LIndsay in our lives at this time. We've decided to focus on some goals we've set for ourselves and our family and not TTC anytime soon. We have a new niece and I know her and Linz will be the best of friends as they grow up together. We are excited to be able tow ork on our financial goals so we can be debt free in 2 years (that's the plan anyway) so that we can travel more and afford to save for Linz and her cousins. I actually feel at peace with this decision and that a weights been lifted off my shoulders and we both agreed to revisit it if we ever start to feel differently. I know I'm not over the hill, but I can't see myself TTC much later in life. We both would consider adoption and we're just going to leave it at that for now.
On that note...thanks so much for all the unconditional support you've given me. I'm not going to be online much here at least for awhile and I want to wish you all happiness and lots of babies hehe!
Thanks.
Jenn

You will be missed Jenn!
I also am happy for you that you have reached a decision that is best for you.
I also think, just when you let go, is when it could very well happen on it's own! Hugs!

Whatever works for you and is best for your family of course we support. However, just because you aren't TTC, doesn't mean you can't stay. I mean gee, you can't pry me away.

Thanks ladies. I do know that just because we're not TTC doesn't mean I can't post here, I just want a break from thinking about TTC and everything about it, so thanks for understanding.
