----------------------------------------
Greg and I have decided to stop actively ttc, after 4 months of clomid and nothing. I really need to get the weight off that I have put on. We just need a break for awhile. I just can't take anymore BFN's month after month anymore. So until our break is over......bye

Ok here we are 6/05. I have since lost 30 pounds. I am just 6lb shy of my goal.I sure loved the break, still stressed, but nothing like it was before.

We conceived naturally the cycle of 7/4/05. We were blessed with a BFP, unfortanatley at 6 wks we were diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy which resulted in me losing one of my tubes.I have to wait 3 months before ttc again. I am patiently waiting for this 3rd month/cycle to be over so we can move on.

December 05-Our 3 month hiatus is over and we are ready to jump back into the game

January 06-After our 1st month back in the game and I am falling apart! The fact that it was an annov cycle doesnt help either. I am going to try and focus on some other things for a few months, and we will see what happens.

01/06/06- I decided to have HSG for my piece of mind. I am so glad I did!! The one tube I have left was blocked by something. The tech was able to flush it out thank goodness. It was pretty painful but worth it! Hoping that does the trick. We are considering doing clomid again now?
