    TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad sperm 
    February 2013: IUI #1 = BFN 
    October 2013: We made the decision to stop TTC and live without children.

    Nestie Besties with Xan921 
  • First step: payoff debt, all the way!

    After that, all bets are off! We'd absolutely spruce up the house (and then immediately sell it for something with better storage and a little bit more room). 

    Definitely buy a couple of new vehicles and go on a major vacation.

    DH would totally quit his job (he hates it), but I'm not sure about mine!

  • Pay off debt first. Then vacation, and when we get back buy babies and a house (or two)! Then I would just have a part time job, maybe open my own practice.

    Same here... Unfortunately, DH has a lot of SLs and Sallie Mae will be with us for at least several more years, regardless of how aggressive we get with her!

    T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.

  • In order, write a few big fat checks to several ministries/missionaries/church we support, pay debts, pay all family's debts, quit both our jobs, sleep for a month (preferably in a hut in Tahiti), buy a baby or 10. Do a whole lot of RAOKs, invest the rest.

    Absolute first thing: take just enough to hire a lawyer and a financial planner, hide the money, and tell nobody else until we've decided what we'll do with ALL of it (which means no quitting jobs until we've decided either).
