is it stupid to want to try again?

well, my af showed up on sat. my dh wants us to try again this month. we had both made the choice that we would never try again if it didnt work out in July. now, dont get me wrong, i want to try one more time...but is it the right thing to do? i know if i dont i'll always wonder. we talked about it last night and said that we would try this month and if it didnt work out, we would wait a year. what do you ladies think?

ps,
thanks to everyone who talked with me last week and prayed for me.!

I believe that you shouldn't give up! like the old saying " Good things come to those who wait" sometimes things don't come when we want them......but trust they're right on time! Just enjoy the time you spend with your DH and things will come naturally......I'm sending lots of baby dust your way!

In light of what others have said since my last comment I want to add this: don't give yourself a limit. When you say, "This is the last month we'll try" you'll stress yourself out because you don't want to fail. Just go with the flow, girlfriend!!!

The best advice i can give you is dont try too hard as this can take over you enjoyment of each other and have fun, things will happen when they happen and when your body is ready.

realistically, even those who take meds, often get pregnant later.....once you relax and just say ok "let's let it happen", it does!
after 2 1/2 years of us being stable enough we could have had everything perfect, BAAAAAAAAAM, i get pregnant this year lol....as in, when i'm not employed, we're in a custody battle, df is thinking of leaving to a larger, better company....yeah.....just when you start thinking " i can't be pregnant now".....is when it happens!!!!!

**at least in my case!!!!!

the only time TTC is stupid is if you're living in a maytag box using a tupperware bowl for a window....or if it'll kill you....otherwise, GO GET SOME!!!!    "guestimate" your *O* days rather than bd exact times....it's more fun and the attitude becomes more of a "it could happen" rather than "it has to happen".....

It can take time for your body to respond to those medications so that's why it might be important to continue as well!

do you need the treatments to ttc?  i'd say give your body a break from these treatments and see if your body picks up O on its own.  Maybe give yourself a few months to "detoxify" and try some natural remedies.  But don't prevent getting pregnant.
I'm not that much of a naturalist, but I highly believe that your body regulates itself and works best with the least intervention.  You never know, you might just get pregnant when you are not really trying.

well, i had my doctor call in a refill on my rx's for clomid, estroval, and prometrium. gotta start my lovenox on the 15th. im on the clomid train again! right there with you JoyRenee! my dh wants a baby just as much as i do. he told me "lets try again this month. but promise me you wont stress and freak yourself out all month!" we've had to go by the phrase "God doesnt give us anything we cant handle". and i believe it. so here i go ttc again, and hopefully this will be my lucky month!

Definately try again! Or better yet, why not just have fun with it and not REALLY be trying. More like not preventing? That's always when I've had luck, and you won't be nearly as stressed out about it. Like Joy says too, I'm so glad your DH is so into it! That's great!

I say just go for it! Why wait a whole year when you could be working towards your goal right now? You're lucky to have DH on board!!!
