after our chat the other night, DH and i had a pretty hefty discussion about when "enough was enough" for treatment. neither one of us could pin point a number of cycles we will do, or when we'll pull the pin, but we've been pretty open is setting ourselves breaks - 18months of treatment, then a break - then go back after 6 months. this is mainly for financial reasons - but also for my own mental health - i feel like i NEED to know that i only have to subject myself to another 6 months of this, and if it hasn't worked, well, we'll take time out to regroup as a couple, get ourselves ahead again financially (as opposed to just "getting by") - and then go again.

i know how very difficult it is to even contemplate not being successful soon, so i can only imagine what you're feeling at the moment lou - i hope you can come to a decision that you can be at peace with
