Sweetheart, take the time to enjoy the next 12 months + planning & enjoying your wedding and honeymoon.

DH & I have had 2 yrs (almost!) off AC altogether - some of the time was by choice (we wanted to take the time for a wedding & honeymoon as well... and spend some $$ on other things besides IVF and doctors.)

We had the $$ put aside to go overseas, live with a few extra nice things, and pay for a wedding (which although was small enough still seemed to cost enough as well! )

I find now that I'm fine with babies & pregnant bellies (I still have my moments, but I'm wondering if that is something us LTAC'ers will always have... even after we have finished having our children???)

Its a bizarre thing to comprehend, but I think its something that will never leave me... if that makes sense.

Anyway, I've scooted a little off track, but my point was that with the big break and lovely things I had happening in my life.. the pain has become something that is only 'just' there now.

I've built up the personal strength to go again - with a much, much needed breath of new air & hope instilled inside of me.

Maybe you guys will go again with the IVF... (or AC).. maybe not - but from experience, the break & time to focus on something POSITIVE happening in your life (like your wedding) will do you the world of good.. it did for me
