Ladies I want you to be completely honest, and I will honor whatever the majority of you want me to do. I have loved hosting here, and would really like to stick around, at least for a while, but DH and I have decided that we are no longer going to be TTC. 3 years of this has taken a major toll on us both, and finding out today that our 8 month old nephew is going to be a big brother already was kind of the final nail in the TTC casket. We just can't take anymore right now. We are both drained. While I would like to continue hosting here, I also know that any of you would do an amazing job hosting here, and if you think I should step down and allow someone else to have a turn, I will do that.

Well Steph, I voted, and to be honest not sure if my vote should count, because after 2 miscarriages and what the doctors told me we have decided we not ttc anymore eithor, I started birth control yesterday, and plan on staying on it, and possibly going to have sterilization surgery, so I will not be on here too much anymore, I will still stop in allot and check on everyone. i just cannot go through that again, I am not emotionally strong to begin with.

Steph, by the way, hate to hear that you are going to stop ttc, but at the same time I totally understand, if you need anything, pm me anytime,

We've talked about this a lot more, and honestly I am more and more comfortable with the decision all the time. I am going to step down from the main TTC board, and start posting in WTTC instead of there. We are going to focus on losing weight (both of us) and saving up some money. Once we get our goal in savings and near our goal weight we will TTC again (or at least consider it). Probably at least a year though.

I will keep you both in my prayers, maybe taking a break for a while will be good for the both of you.

Steph - I say if you want to stay on as host, it is fine with me. I voted for you to stay. Either way, you still have Secondary Infertility. Same goes for you Vicki. HUGS to both of you.

We will be at the same cross roads in March I think - we will take some time off from TTC if we get that far.

Just because you've decided it's time to stop TTC doesn't mean you no longer have secondary infertility and it doesn't take away your ability to give comfort and advice here to the women that need it. You've been an excellent host and I see no reason why you should step down.

Well, since it appears to be unanimous I will be staying on here. Thank you for letting me stay. I don't know what I would do without you girls!

I agree...We all have secondary infertility whether we are ttc or on a short or long term break and I would love for us all to stay here. I really feel like I have gotten to know all of over the last few months. You girls know more about my feelings than anyone else I know! I really have grown to rely on you and look forward to hearing from you, about bfp's or just day to day events. PS I hope everyone had a happy and safe Holiday!

((((HUGS)))) I'm sorry you and vicky are going through this. I agree with what everyone said. You still have secondary infertility. I'm also not TTC at this time, only NTNP. You could still get pregnant even if you'e not trying (that's how I got both my boys). Anyway, I'd love for you to stay and keep hosting this board. It's entirely up to you.
