FU IF Vacation

[kershnic]

We didn't go on a big vacation in 2012 because it was going to be the year of getting pregnant and putting all of our money towards the RE (done) and our new baby (not done). Pretty much every plan we've tried to make for things to do for fun in the past 18 months of TTC/infertility treatment has been messed up by TTC - canceled and shortened trips, birthday parties we've left early due to appointments or needing to go do a timed injection, not drinking on occasions I would have loved to drink, etc. etc. etc. Burned the fuck out doesn't even begin to fully cover our emotional state right now. So, DW convinced me that it's time to take a TTC break for a few months and go on vacation.

Yesterday we bought plane tickets to go to Thailand for two weeks in March!!

Sounds like a good idea. I hear you on being burned out. We're pretty much down to one IVF and possibly one FET if that doesn't work. After that I think we're just done. I know we're amazingly lucky to have our little boy and I don't want to sound ungrateful, but...it's not the dream we've had. The idea of giving it up just kills me.

Anyway, sorry for hijacking. Some friends of mine went to Thiland and had an amazing time, I hope you guys do too!

It f'ing sucks. I am sorry. ({) (})

I think a relaxing trip to Thailand sounds perfect. Spend your vacation drinking delicious drinks, soaking up the culture, eating amazing food, and relish in each other.

:heart:

I totally understand. We're going to do another IVF with me, but that is likely the end of that road. Maybe we would consider FET if we had frosties, but we did not from IVF #1 and I don't even know if we'd do it. After that it's probably DW's turn. I hope we could have a lovely family from her uterus (obviously there are no fertility guarantees, but we suspect she's fertile). But that doesn't change the fact it would kill me to give up my dream of being pregnant and having our first child.

We will definitely take tons of pictures and share them widely.

Oh, wow! Girl, you deserve a break and an AWESOME vacation. Enjoy!!

[quinny]

That sounds awesome!! K and I wanted to go to Thailand for our honeymoon but the flight from the east coast was too long

Can't wait for pictures! The beaches there are to die for!

[twotrue]

Yeah, I'm totally dreading 20 hours on a plane plus a layover. But ipads are magic, right?

[hensmum]

Great plan! So glad you are taking this trip and I hope you have the best time!!

[eratmama]

Sounds amazing! I am sorry you need to do this, but good for you for doing it!

L was in Thailand for a month teaching a few years ago. If you have any questions, shoot them my way

[quinny]

Oh I would take the 20 hour flight in a heartbeat! K is a teacher and she can't take vacation so we only had February break to go and 5 days is far too short for a 20 hour flight! 2 weeks sounds delicious. The beaches there look... Ohmygodness... So relaxing and warm and heavenly. I can't wait to see pictures!

Someday...in my dreams.
