we are no longer ttc.

I am going to the docs tomorrow to ask about birth control. I have had enough. I get pg then mc, then worry about an ep. Its no life for any of us. So I am going to uni, we are moving away from Shropshire (hopefully) and we are going to enjoy being a family of 3 and not have the spectre of a hypothetical baby hanging over us. Good luck ttc-ers (especially from the hut and ttc after mc threads) x

Wow Lissie - what a hard and brave decision to make.

I hope you and your family have lots and lots of happy times together, once you've come to terms with your decision.

pepperpots · 13/02/2008 19:58

Massive hugs to you both ((((())))) such a brave decision xx

ScaryHairy · 13/02/2008 20:01

Gosh, that is a big (and brave) decision. I think you and Mr Lissie are both really smart to make sure you enjoy what you already have.

Lulumama · 13/02/2008 20:02

well, i think that sounds really sensible and i wish you teh best of luck x

Lots of love and best wishes to you and your family lissie. I know it has been so, so hard for you.

It's a very brave decision and I hope you can enjoy your new start. We will all still be here if you need to talk things through

lissiethelover · 13/02/2008 20:03

thanks, it was v difficult, but during this CP I have been bleeding v heavily and i was convinced it was an ep. i feel like shit every month and like such a failure, and im not! im a good mum to ds and i will be a good therapist and my life has been on hold for nearly 2 1/2y, i nearly died last year and left ds without a mother, yet still persisted. he's our miracle, its about time we (i) made the most of him!

Oh lissie, what a big decision.
I hope it makes you both happier, and that life as a family of 3 turns out to be better than you could have imagined!

What will you study at uni?

Aww Lissie {{HUGS}}

oh goodness, lissie.

Lots and lots of love to you, and quiet admiration for a huge brave decision. xxx

PhDlifeNeedsaNewLife · 13/02/2008 20:09

wow lissie, that is a Really Grown-Up decision. give yourself a pat on the back.

{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

scorpio1 · 13/02/2008 20:11

Wow lissie.

I hope that you feel positive about this new chapter in your life - i hated the way you felt crap about yourself, none of this was ever your fault and you will be fab at uni & your career; and you are already fab at being a mum and can focus on the DS you already know you are lucky to have.

I wish you all luck, love and happiness
