[babybemine]

We are thinking of transferring two... not sure yet though. It is such a big decision.

We were having a hard time as well. Ultimately, we did what the doctor's suggested. Their rationale was that I'm young, and healthy with no real problems short of it taking too long to get pregnant.

I'm glad we listening to them, because if we had transferred two, had them both take, and then they split naturally....we'd have 4. I really didn't want that. I'm happy with the one we're having. We'd have welcomed twins obviously, but I think it would be way too overwhelming.

Lola: It sounds like everything is going so well. I am so happy for you guys.

Prayerful: DH sat me down last night to make sure I knew that he wants to adopt. He is starting to get excited about it, but he is also still trying to deal with the loss of not being able to “create” a child. He says he will get there, it will just take him longer than me. I personally don’t care if you child has our DNA or not. The biggest loss I felt is when I thought we would never have kids. We have our first fundraiser this weekend. We are doing a garage sale, and so many people have contributed stuff that we don’t have enough room to put it. I just hope that people come and buy the stuff!

My blog is up and running, though it is still a work in progress. I hope you guys can all follow me! https://jhkadoption.wordpress.com

That is so wonderful I hope that you're able to save up all the money quickly - adoption is so beautiful. My mom and all my aunts and uncles were adopted

Have you thought about a gofundme.com account? Then you could maybe reach out a little farther and hit up people on facebook/spread the word? I don't know how much yall would want to do, but I wanted to just throw tht out there

Is it different than a donate button on my blog? Would I do both or pick one?

I'd do both - why not ... can't hurt hahah And the GoFundMe shows up on their site so random people can just see something they like and donate. So it opens up the audience a bit.

Thanks! I am just so worried I am going to drive everyone nuts by asking for money. I am going to try it and see what happens. It couldn't hurt right?

My first Femara cycle was a bust. Started spotting bright red on CD 23 and I feel AF will be here shortly. On to the next one...

Nope, it sure couldn't! I would be doing everything I could. I'd even be asking my church if I could put a collection jar up there. I sure would. I would ask everyone lol So I don't think you'd be driving people nuts.

Ugh Damn AF! I'm sorry

 

[Prayerful]

MMW - Four would definitely be overwhelming! My cousin and his wife have quads. He is a lawyer so he makes decent money and she gets to stay home with the kids. They are three now. I don't know if I could do it... One or two would be wonderful though!!

Babybemine - So that sounds like this could still turn out to be a medicated cycle for you then! Crossing my fingers the HCG is down to 0 on Friday!

Sorry Kel and ES!

Karen - I'm so glad hubby is on the same page as you! It is so awesome that everyone is contributing to your garage sale. I pray it all sells quickly and for good prices! ....What a beautiful life story you have shared on your blog! To have taken in and cared for those children is ... well, I want to say "priceless" but don't want to sound cheesy. It truly is a great thing though. I do wish you a smooth process in your adoption fundraising process and the journey itself.

J_Lynn - When is your test date? It should be coming up soon, right?

 

[ESwemba84]

AF hasn't started yet. I just had a tiny amount of bright red spotting, and now nothing for several hours. I guess I'll continue on the progesterone and if no AF I'll be testing on Monday.

 

[lilyV]

boo, so sorry, ESwemba84

 

[J_Lynn]

Prayerful - I had my trigger shot on the 10th - so I think I will have to wait until at least Sunday to test. My last day of the vaginal progesterone is the 23rd, so I may just wait until Wednesday just because I'm so scared AF is going to happen so I almost don't want to waste a test :/

I attached my chart, which won't make to much sense if you don't creighton model charting - but it's just charting on my cervical mucus. But I circled where I took my trigger shot, I had 4 days of peak type (fertile) mucus (those are the white baby stickers) - then there is the 3 day window after that which is still considered a chance for fertility - then my progesterone days are all starred at the top also. So I think I would be safe to test Sunday if I break down and can't wait. But I'm just so sure it will just be another disappointment that I don't want to kill my heart by testing. It's always easier to just wait for AF to show up. *sigh*

 

[ESwemba84]

AF never showed! Still hopeful!
