Giving up for a while

I don't know whether it's actually possible to do this (mentally I mean) but we've decided to give ttc a miss for a while, after 21 months of trying. We're still not going to use any contraception but we're stopping all hospital treatment and I'm going to to try not to count the days any more and just try to focus elsewhere.

I'm convinced we haven't been successful because my mind isn't in the right place. I need to have some bereavement counselling to sort out how I feel about my mum's and other family members' deaths and I don't think I'll be ready to conceive until I've dealt with this.

Good luck to everyone else ttc and thanks for all the support I've had on these boards over the last 21 months. See you on the other boards x

Good lock to you Moomin.

I too have given up TTC officially after 2 1/2 years of trying but it is difficult not to get excited when your period is a bit late.

All the best in sorting out your feelings about the family deaths

Moomin-I was in a similar position years ago and gave up all treratment.It did feel better to not have to think about it so much.

We forgot about it for ten years and then ds came out of the blue!

GOod luck
