How long of a ttc break did you take?

[snsgirl336]

1. How long have you been ttc?
Since August 2007, so 10 going on 11 months

2. After how many months of ttc did you go to see a specialist?
Haven't gone yet, but probably getting close

3. Does your SO get down each month when you get your BFN?
He does, but I think it's more becuase I'm down. He's really good at believing that we'll get pregnant when the time is right for us. I know he's upset too because he wants to be a Daddy so badly.


4. Does your family & friends know you are ttc?
Absolutely no one knows we're trying, and we're really happy about that right now because we'd be getting pestered if they did know. Heck, they pester us anyhow about us having kids!


5. Do you ever feel like givng up? or taking a ttc break?
Sometimes I feel like giving up, but I think about the long run where I would probably regret taking a break. We did almost take a break while DH coached Lacrosse- we figured there would be too little time for TTC since we barely see each other, but we decided to still try!

6. Do you own any baby stuff yet? If so what?
We have a lot of baby stuff from my brother and SIL. They were/are very generous and gave us all of their stuff from my nephews. Strollers, Double stroller, car seats, clothes, toys, pack and plays, the list is so long! LOL.

[Lo_and_Behold]

So it's Monday & I'm a little late for this post but better late than never

1. How long have you been ttc? Since September, so 9 months but 11 cycles
2. After how many months of ttc did you go to see a specialist? I can go after ttc for a year. Almost there
3. Does your SO get down each month when you get your BFN? He used to get really upset & down, but now that we've been trying so long, he doesn't show it as much. I never tell him when I test (b/c I'm hoping to surprise him w/a BFP) but I don't test like I used to anyway!
4. Does your family & friends know you are ttc? Not that we're actively ttc, but that we're not preventing either.
5. Do you ever feel like givng up? or taking a ttc break? I do feel like giving up a lot. I've been noticing ads for BCP & have been tempted to go back on it, but I don't want to give up again. We did take a kinda sorta break from Feb-April b/c I was very sick & in the hospital.
6. Do you own any baby stuff yet? If so what? I have a few onesies from Secret Sister exchanges & one I bought on my own while I was shopping for a SS exchange. It was so adorable, I couldn't resist! I hope I'll be able to use them someday!
