How is everyone?
Bubbles: I haven't seen you post in awhile but I saw your journal pop up to the front of the line and I see congrats are in order! I even looked on this thread to see if you said anything here but I didn't see anything. So many pregnant on here. Makes me happy. Sad too, of course. Just waiting and waiting. But with you guys it's different. I know all of your struggles and being with you all through it just makes this all more positive. I feel like this is a second family.
I have new babies in my life. 2 people just gave birth this past week. Found out my co worker is pregnant and she got pregant while using birth control. This is the hardest to deal with. She's 21, has a 2 year old and isn't sure she wants this child. She's not in a place to raise 2. She can barely raise the 1 she has right now. She asked us awhile back if she ever got pregnant with an oops if we would adopt the baby. at first I said yes because that seemed unlikely. She even said so because she was on birth control. But it wasn't that long ago and I wonder if her sixth sense kicked in. if i am right with my dates she would have been just pregnant when she asked.
I looked into direct placement adoption here and it's still expensive. it starts at $10,000. for the fees for the adoption agency, the home study and the lawyers. etc. We just can't come up with that money in less than 9 months. And then to have the possibility of her changing her mind (she has 30 days after the baby is born to change her mind). I just couldn't deal with it. Also, IVF is $16,000 here so we think that if we were going to save the money we would rather do a round of IVF.
I hate having long cycles. I'm on cd 12. I still have 24 days to go before af is due. Unless it comes early like my other anovulatory cycle did, before my bfp. that was only a 30 day cycle. But that would still be another 18 days.
