time for a break

It's time.  6 years have come and gone, still no baby.  I'm not giving up, I just need a break!  I will not be taking my Femara, B6, FertileCM, guafenisen, or do hcg injections.  No ultrasounds either.  I'll keep taking my T3 and doing temps for that once a week.  Of course I'll be keeping track of my cycle somewhat, but probably just know what cd I'm on (just in case!).  Really, no telling DH that we'll be gettin' busy for the next week! 
There are a lot of changes coming up with my team at work, so I'll be busy with that.  I'm also going to a 3-day Christian retreat, called Tres Dias, the end of September.  I don't know much about it other than it is a spiritual encounter with Christ.  I really need to focus on my relationship with Christ right now and this will definitely help jump-start it!  DH is also going the weekend before I go (men and women go separately), so I'm very excited about that too. 
I will also be leading another small group at my church.  This time, it will not be about infertility.  I'm super nervous about leading about something that I don't "know" everything already!  The group I am leading is also being lead by several other people in the church, so we'll have the same curriculum and it goes along with a 10-week sermon series.  I'm excited even though I'm nervous!
If I do any updating, it probably won't have anything to do with TTC, infertility or babies!!
Fall is almost here!  ugh!


I found this here and it is soooo true, but soooo hard to believe!!

The Apostle Paul himself experienced God's answer to his prayer. As Paul struggled with his famous "thorn in the flesh," he wrote, "Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me." The answer, which Paul received to these requests, made him realize that God was clearly saying, "No!" But with God, a "No" answer to our sincere requests never is intended as negative, spiteful, or destructive to our Christian life and relationship with Him. Rather, God ultimately has a positive purpose in everything He does - or doesn't do - for His children. Paul understood this and he declared:

"But he [the Lord] said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.' Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me...For when I am weak, then I am strong" (II Corinthians 12:9-10).

But please be ready for surprises! God's answer to our prayers may not be what we expect or currently hope for. God does things in His own way and according to His own timetable, not ours. Be prepared for unexpected joy from unexpected directions and in unexpected ways!
