Hey Ladies,

We're going to take a step back from TTC this month. We'll obviously not prevent anything, but I just feel like I need a break. TTC has consumed my life and especially the stress of this last week has just exhausted me. I need a little break to just get my mind on straight again. I don't want to think of anything TTC related this month, so I'll probably not be on here much. I love you all, and I am rooting for you, I just need a little break.

Enjoy your break. Maybe a little less stress will be just what you need to finally get that BFP.

Lucy, I am sorry you are so stressed out but I totally understand needing a break!
One question though; what do you make of your chart still being up? I mean, it still looks really good.

I think it will be good for you. I missed you guys last month, but it felt good to not be totally consumed with TTC like I was in the past! I hope the rest is good for your mind and body and will help you get your BFP!!!

I'm totally baffled. A chemical pregnancy is one possibility, but it seems as if my temps would be dropping with that. I just ready that 50-60% of first pregnancies end as a chemical, but the majority of women don't test early enough to notice. A second possibility is a cyst (the more probably possibility). I remember my OBGYN that certain cysts can mess with your LP. A third possibility is that I implanted late and it just hasn't shown up on a test yet. No matter what, though, next month I REFUSE to test early. Too much stress.

It is so strange, though, that the 2nd month of not taking b6 is my longest so far LP

Completely understandable Lucy- the whole TTC thing can be all-consuming. Hope you get that much needed break you deserve!

I'm so sorry, Lucy. I hope you find the peace you need away from the board. I too, read that about chemical pregnancies when I had mine back in September. I told myself I would never test again early and I didn't until last month, I started testing at 6DPO (what an idiot) and it consumed me. I will not do that again this cycle.
So sorry, please take all the time you need & know that I will greatly miss you on these boards. It won't be the same.

I've debated not testing early but it seems like knowing if you have a chemical pregnancy will only help your doctor with a plan. Even though it's crappy to go through. I'll definitely miss reading your input but I hope you enjoy your rest. Next time I see you I hope it's your Nov DDC intro
