Taking a break

After our awful news yesterday and reflecting on how painful the past 3 years of TTC has been, H and I have decided to take a break. Ultimately, we agreed on trying donor eggs, but we have a lot to do until that can happen (emotionally and financially). Because of this, although I may periodically lurk, I will not be regularly posting here until we're ready to move forward (next year, maybe?). I will be keeping my eye on several of you guys on FB though, as I am so excited to see many of you experiencing the success you so deserve. Thank you all for your kind words and support over the past couple of years. Wishing you all the best.
