Stepping Away...

Lance and I have debated for several months trying to decide between more aggressive treatments or a break. We both decided to step away from trying to conceive and embrace our relationship with one another. We've sacrificed so much of who we are and our financial stability to continue a rocky road of heartache and pain. On this break we will be able to rekindle the romance and passion in our married lives, which has been lacking. Our energy that was once used solely for trying to conceive will now be used for renewing our love.
In the Fall (after Harvest), we will once again try fertility treatments. We are going to start injectables, which is both scarey and exciting. The doctor recommended a more aggressive treatment plan before we fully give up our dreams...
In the meantime, I've started taking a new medication called Metformin. We will see where that leads us...if anywhere...

Hey Rachel! I am back today checking out this blog of yours and it is wonderful. I really and truly wish that none of us had to endure this paiful journey. I think that you are doing a wonderful job looking out for yourself and setting boudaries. it is so hard to decide when it's been enough. Yoo never want to give up, but at the same time, it is very painful holding on. I really really hope that this will happen for you two and I admire the relationship that is described between you and your DH. I can tell that you love each other very much. :) You will be in my prayers.

P.S. How have you been feeling on the met?

Wow! I guess I didn't proof read my last comment! Correction: "paiful journey" should be paiNful journey, "boudaries" should be bouNdaries, and "yoo" should be yoU.
WHEW! Now I feel better. :)

Hey Rachel. A friend directed me to Halley's blog for some comfort, which then directed me to yours. I've been going through the trial of infertility for "only" 17 months. I cannot imagine if that time were doubled. It's all I can do to drag myself out of bed and face the world every day. Somehow the Lord keeps me on my feet, and I know he loves me (and you) despite my moments of weakness, anger, and sorrow. I will pray for you, and hope your day comes soon. This suffering can't last forever. Somehow the Lord will bless us... My heart aches for you, and I pray the Lord will ease your burdens. My infertility is still a secret except to a very select few, but your blog has been a comfort to me as I sit at my desk at work silently suffering. Thank you for sharing your story. It has blessed my life and I wish you the success of fulfilling your dreams.
Sincerely,
K
