Hi everyone!
My husband and I have been trying for two years. And to be honest, I'm not sure what our next step is. I know we have to have his sperm tested, but he has a four year old with his ex. So my first gynecologist felt it was good to omit him as the problem. My current gynecologist does want to test him, but what are the chances its him?
If it isn't him, my doctor feels my next step is to see a specialist. However, I don't come from a rich family and neither does my husband. I know we can't afford to do IVF. I've looked online and I know IVF can cost 15,000-20,000 dollars. Can anyone tell me what IUI might cost?
My current doctor (C.D.) spoke of cervical mucus and mine may be too thick. She did not check. She said I can take Robutussin, but I'm allergic to Gauifensin. Does anyone know of another med that can do the same thing as Gauifensin?
I did six rounds of Clomid--nothing. My C.D. said she could do a laparoscopic procedure to detect endometriosis. I will do that in the next few weeks to a month or so.
My husband and I are filling out paperwork for foster-parenting, but he is hesitant, because he is scared we will soon after get pregnant. I want a child no matter what. I love the idea of helping kids. My father in law knew a lady who was trying to give her son up for adoption and my husband told me about this and I instantly wanted the little boy. He didn't. He said he wanted to wait until we are 30 before we do something that drastic. He put it in God's hands and the adoption fell through because the lady had found a couple to adopt the boy before we contacted her.
I am at a loss. I feel resentment toward my husband, because he has a son. And for him to deny me my right to adopt or even foster, hurts. I love my step-son, but we have him every other weekend. I don't want be a 'every other weekend mom'.
Everyone around me has had a child outside of marriage mostly before they even reached their twenties. I helped my dad raise my younger siblings. I've helped my siblings with their kids and now my husband's son. I feel cheated. I started my cycle on Mother's Day of all days and it hurt SO bad. I believe God has the perfect plan for me, but I don't know what that plan is. I can't imagine my life never getting pregnant and having a child. That has been something I've wanted since I was a little girl. I've always wanted to be a mom.
As far as adoption/fostering, my husband will stand behind me, because he knows how much I want a baby. I know if he had his choice fostering wouldn't even be an option right now for him, but again, he knows how much I want it.
I know a lot of this was more of a rant, but I need help.
