Hypothetical Poll

LyssRob

So I had the opposite of a pregnancy dream last night.  I went to the doctor and they realized I had whatever wrong with my uterus and I could take supplements to fix it, but it wouldn't regenerate for five years.  In my dream I was trying to decide if I should wait the five years or not.  So I ask you, 3T, hypothetically speaking...

(PS I have no idea what my answer would be...the dream really upset me!)

Sorry about your bad dream!

I voted the adoption route... But I should have done SS.  I'd pursue adoption... and take the supplements so we could try naturally after the 5 years.

Well that was depressing.

I'd have to work on changing my husband's mind but I would want to adopt definitely.  Maybe an older child because babies kinda scare me anyway to be honest.  And then in five years I would try again for more.

I voted adoption but this was my first thought.

MH is already going to be 36 this year so in 5 years he'll be 41. With his MFI (assuming that still existed on top of my vitamin issue) we'd be even more screwed waiting that long.

This literally made me laugh out loud.   Sorry for being such a Debbie Downer...want me to make a happier poll next??

I voted SS.  We had to break for 8 months last year to continue treatment.  And now it looks like we'll be waiting 8 months again.   We gave ourselves a timeline a while ago, and we only have four years left in it. Which may seem like a long time to some of you, but we've already been at this for almost three years.  Since we already decided no DS, no adoption for us the answer is I guess this.  That would mean we live child free.  

 So to me...it already feels like I'm stuck in my own nightmare.

Im in a similar situation.  H is 36 too and he has expressed concern about it.  I assume we would adopt and then revisit the idea of having a biological child when the 5 years was up.  I would be 37 by then and Im not sure how I will feel about it either.

LOL maybe!

Don't you hate dreams that make you sad or mad when you wake up?!

 

I'd definitely look into the adoption. MH and I already have decided that adoption is an option (sounds like that could be an IF slogan, LOL) so that would not be a tough choice to make. We want a child that is biologically ours but blood and genes aren't what makes a parent and THAT is what is most important to us, to be parents!

Your dream kinda reminded me of the episode on Giuliana and Bill.  For those of you that don't watch the show, she was told by her RE that she should not get pregnant in the next 5 years because the increased levels of estrogen could cause her cancer to possibly come back (or something similar to that).  She had to decide to wait the 5 years or use a surrogate.  I think she's 37 and only has 2 eggs frozen.  They decided to use a surrogate.  Of course they aren't going to show the outcome until further episodes.  Wow, talk about a tough decision!
