Femara Friends!

[karenh]

Sugarpi: Yes, that makes a BIG difference! I hope it works. Good luck!

Galen: I am sure you little one jumping on you didn’t make a difference, although I know every little thing goes through our minds. When do you start testing?

Adoption updates? Well… We have selected an agency and paid the application/homestudy fee. We have also completed part one of the paperwork and part two should get here today. We start our training tonight.

 

[Galen]

Woo Karen! You guys are moving right along! What comes after training?

Interviews. : )

 

[LolaM]

Good luck TLB!

Karen- any adoption updates?

Lola- how goes it with you and the little man?

It goes TERRIBLE!! Baby has 2 siblings and we ewere told today that they need to be moved from the home they are in and if we dont take them, they will find a home for all 3 kids and we will lose baby boy

Oh No! I am so sorry. That is terrable! What are you going to do? How old are the other two?

 

[Galen]

OH NO!!!! I can't imagine...how frustrating/angering/sad/awful. Why all the sudden do they have to be placed together if they've been apart this whole time? I hope that doesn't sound insensitive, but it doesn't make sense. Are they just trying to bully you into taking all 3? Again, I don't mean this to sound insensitive, so if you read it that way, please know it's not my intention, but I don't understand...

 

[LolaM]

no, it DOESNT sound insensative, it sounds rational and its a good question, im not sure why they werent placed in a home together when baby was removed. Im pretty pissed and so is hubs but we have a plan and if we have to take all 3, so that we dont lose baby, then by-jesus we will cram them in that tiny room! I do not appreciate being strong-armed into something they KNEW we werent prepared for! We are basically done with FC no matter what hte outcome, i didnt sign up for THIS bs--it is definatly bullying, but i dont really know what we can do about it

I am so sorry you are having such a bad experiance. People keep asking me why we don't do foster care again, and why we don't adopt from the state. This is exactly why. I hope something works out for you guys.

 

[Galen]

Lola- I know you will do what is right for that baby and for your family. I hope it works out the best it can for all of you, without you feeling backed into a corner over it all. Hang tough! (Ha Ha... I have a feeling you are an extremely tough cookie, so you don't need my pep talk!)

I am saddened by the questionable integrity of the system I guess they probably feel backed into a corner in their own way at times though, but still...

our guardian adlitem told us teh same thing, dont take them because you are being bulled into it, she siad it would be more work for HER dealing with CPS seperating the family, which-by-the-by-isnt even togheter, and that we were absolutly allowed to get a lawyer of our own and we are doing just that. The rights are officially being terminated, and mother will have her say if she shows up, in 30 days

 

[karenh]

Good luck Lola, I really hope all works out for you.

 

[Cridge]

Oh no Lola! What a bind. How old are the other 2 kids? I think that those 2 should stay together for sure, but they never really knew the baby, and it just makes more sense for the baby to stay where he's been loved, instead of have to move again. So sad. But you are ready to take all 3? Instant family!

we dont know them, there has never been a visit, and truely--we dont have room. CPS says put them in bunk beds, but i think that is them being LAAAAAZY and not wanting to look for ahome for the other 2. We are getting a lawyer, so hopefully that changes things for our good.

 

[Prayerful]

Oh my, Lola! What a headache and a huge frustration! It sounds like you've got a plan though and I hope it all works out for you, DH, and that precious baby boy!

Sorry it has come down to IVF, Sugarpi. I agree with Galen. The price you were quoted is actually a really great deal for all that you are being offered within that package. Hopefully you won't need to go through that many steps to get your miracle though. FX it will work for you on the first try!

Mrs. Stinski, I know that must have been such difficult news to bear. What a blessing that your cousin stepped up to help! IVF is certainly a much different world but as with everything, it will be so worth it to finally have your little one in your arms. I wish the best of luck to you! Please keep us updated with the process and with your final test results that I believe you got today.

Galen - I hope you are holding up well through the TWW and not driving yourself too crazy with worry and anticipation!

Yay Karen! I hope things continue to keep moving along well for you.

Lola that would be so frustrating and stressful! I really hope your lawyer can help you guys out!

I hope it happens on the first try! Doctor seems pretty confident...and he was very frustrated that we werent pregnant yet...he said he was quite surprised we arent yet...so i guess thats good right?! lol hubby and I have been working LOTS of overtime this week and more to come to help pay off the debt so we can move forward with the process for IVF...we were bad with credit cards and are now paying for it...everytime a store asked us "do you want to apply for a store card to save 15% today?" Its like YES! lol but boy oh boy that was BAD! so by the end of this month i will have cancelled at least 7 store cards! :/ our car will be paid off by sept. next year so maybe work on getting that paid off sooner... feels good to work on our debt!....only to get more into debt with IVF lol

Karen-Sounds like everything is going smoothly for you!

Hope everyone else is doing good! have a good weekend everyone!

Dave Ramsey (financial expert that DH is obsessed with ) would be so proud of you for cancelling your credit cards!! It is exciting to start paying down the debts.

I know what you mean about getting out of debt just to go back into it with IVF though. We were doing SO good and are even close to paying off our house (and by that I mean just under 40K) and now we have to deplete our savings AND go back into debt for IVF. Oh so frustrating but if it works, oh so worth it!!

 

[~Brandy~]

how many did you transfer Brandy?

We transferred 3 eggs but we were hoping for twins. We were given a 65% chance of getting a bfp with 3 eggs and of that 65% we were told 25% chance of twins.


We have 9 frosty tots in reserve too in case we decide to have another transfer in the years to come it would only cost about 1500.
