Good Luck girls. Baby dust to everyone!

Wellllllll... my temp spiked this morning. So I am done with these digital OPKs. They are making me second guess everything. We didn't get any in last night because the OPKs looked the same again and I was scared that if it were positive today, hubby wouldn't be able to handle 3 days in a row. Of course this morning I get my temp spike and the digital test is negative again AND my Wondfo is beginning to fade out. So more than likely I ovulated. We are going to get some BD'ing in as soon as we are both home from work. Just in case there is still a chance. So who knows, could have screwed it up this cycle.

Guess I will call the OBGYN's office today to schedule my exam for next Tuesday.

But yay for ovulating early! Day 20, but I will take it!

[SweetMel]

Sis, I hope your lp is longer this time.

Elpha, good job on the early o.

AFM, I don't feel hopeful. I'm not really in the mood to try this month. I don't know why.

 

[Sis4Us]

Big hugs Sweetmel. This craziness definitely wears on you. Accumulated erosion of sanity and well-being. If you need a time out, you should take it!! Do some crazy prohibited stuff, yhen come back when you feel energized again.

Or you could just give it a few days and see if you want to be in the game again. That's what happened with me for the next past two cycles. Hasn't done a lot of good so far, but we shall see.

 

[Sis4Us]

I feel the same it's gettin Harder and Harder Every day!!!

My mom keeps tellin me to get a Hobby... WTH!!i don't think a Hobby will take away the yearning for a Lil Girl!!!

I feel I'm vastly approaching AF.... Since I feel the need to Strangle DH on a Reg. Basis!!!

Hmm, tough decision Sis your post made me

 

[Sis4Us]

At least I'm givin someone some Laughs.... I feel the fastly approaching so I'm a Lil !!!

Felt like this was OUR month I guess another Frustrating!!!!

I'm too the Point of seriously considering Adoption... I've always had it in the back of my mind and have researched different Options but it seemed stressful and expensive!!!
I'm starting to think maybe it would be LESS Stressful!!!

Adoption is a great option... but I am not sure it would necessarily be less stressful. There are a lot of hoops to jump through to adopt. I actually have a good friend who had been TTC for 4 years with her husband. Her PCOS is much worse than mine, and her husband's morphology was really bad. The urologist pretty much said there was nothing he could do to help her husband at that time. He had been put on Clomid, but it did not help like it should have. Anyhow, they went through the adoption process and were literally in the month where they were going to be able to bring the baby home. They had ultrasound pictures and email updates and all of that. Then she found the ultrasound pictures they had received on the internet so she tried calling the agency and got no answer. Nobody would return her calls. Shortly later, they found out they had been scammed out of a lot of money and there was never a baby. The worst part was that one of her husband's best friends highly recommended the adoption agency they used. Looking back, there were a LOT of warning signs that something wasn't right. However, her and her hubby were just so desperate to have a baby. That made them a bit naive. My heart breaks for them. It's been 2 months since they should have brought 'Kingston' home. They have now pursued fostering in hopes of getting a child that way.

Sorry about the long story... but you know me and my long stories! Anyhow... just wanted to state adoption won't necessarily be stress free and it can cost a lot of money. Have you thought about trying IVF? I know it is expensive too, but from what I have seen still cheaper than adoption in most cases. Well, at least where I live. I can do an Attain IVF program for up to 6 cycles (3 fresh embryo transfers and 3 frozen embryo transfers) for an average of $24,000. Plus there is a refund guarantee if treatment is not successful. There is another program that is about $18,000 on average and includes 4 cycles (2 fresh embryo transfers and 2 frozen embryo transfers). My clinic also states that 75% of their Attain patients have babies. Pretty good statistics! I even looked the clinic up on the SART website under their IVF success rates and the doctors at my clinic have the best track record in at least Indiana. That IS still a lot of money... a ton really...... but when I researched adoption the fees were looking closer to $30,000 on average. Either route there are financing options available.

Adoption is really an amazing thing though. In a lot of cases, you are welcoming a child into your loving family that otherwise may have grown up in an orphanage or fostering system. Definitely a rewarding option for extending your family.

I Feel for UR Friends .... I've heard such horror stories about Adoption and the heartbreak U must go through!!! That's why I haven't pursued it more diligently ..... CPS has a program here where u can adopt children in protective services for LiL to Nothing .... But I'm still afraid Of how permanent it is!!!

DH is getting his SA today then we will go from there!!!!
Update: The lady at the sperm Bank told DH "Thats ALL U Got??"
He said she sounded like me .... Takin a Sample!!
Well she seems to think there might be something restricting the flow... We will see!!

Thanks for the Info. ladies Happy Friday Have a Super Weekend!!!

 

[Sis4Us]

Well AF showed this morning guess I spoke to soon about a Longer cycle

A HOBBY is looking more promising .... Might just get my Real Estate Licenses and start Flippin houses !!!!!!

GL everyone !!!!!!

I'm actually going through the adoption process with my state right now. I chose a state adoption because it was supposed to be much less of a wait (usually 1 year) also I did not want a baby as I'm trying to close a bit of the age gap with DS (he is 9). Adopting an older child say even a 2 yr old is very hard unless you use the state or go international. In my state it's free which is nice as well.

I started the process in Aug. 2011. Yeah so I can say not easy and lots of stress. However, at this point I highly recommend it. Plus it's the only way I will ever have the large family I want.

 

[pbl_ge]

Okay, I was gone for like 36 hours. What's NEW?!?!?!

 

[Sis4Us]

Well Miss Pebble more to the point, what's new with YOU. Did you or this past weekend

I'm so thrilled that many people are considering adoption. I'm an adoptive parent of two and it's been an amazing ride (they are now 22 and 14yo). Provided you have adequate support set up, it can be a really wonderful experience. In fact the reason my DH and I started TTC was because we were denied the ability to adopt again (our preferred program only allows 2 existing children in the family). But honestly, I cannot imagine loving anyone (even a child born to me) as much I love my two

 

[pbl_ge]

Maddy, there's little to report on my end. In the middle of an inauspicious TWW and am busy convincing myself something is seriously wrong.

Great about all the adoption talk! I've always been interested in having one and adopting one. May go differently if we never get a sticky BFP, though. Milty, all the people I know who did the foster-to-adopt program had good (albeit lengthy) experiences. It seems like older kids would be easier to get, no?

Sis, sorry about AF! How did the SA results go? MY OH performs the test ( ) tomorrow. Not sure how long we'll have to wait for the results.

Hope everyone else is well!
