Thank you to all those replies, its great to know others are in the same boat and how they dealt with it. We dont usually tell anyone where or when we are doing a cycle, and that helps a lot with the naysaying. We just underwent a corrective surgery for dh's vericocele, and decided to wait the 4 months until we get results before we continue. We took a long overdue vacation together, and are planning on going away for a week in the summer as well and starting again after that. I feel so empowered knowing that it is only my and dh's choice as to what and when to continue! Warm wishes and baby dust to all!
