TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

My Update

After feeling defeating with the bfn friday from our FET cycle dh and I had a long talk this weekend and we are going to begin our Adoption Journey. I went to a follow up with my RE today just to see how much we are looking at if we want to cycle again and was surprised she suggested doing IUI's again while saving for IVF since IUI never worked for us and I really don't want to go back on clomid. This month marks 8 years for us and we decided since we have unexplained infertility we won't be preventing pregnancy, but we also won't be going to the RE anymore. It has taken a lot out of me going through all the cycles, the meds and rearranging my work schedule for treatments. I'm off friday so I'm calling two local agencies to set up appointments to get information about adoption.

I still plan on sticking around here cheering all you girls on. If anyone is cycling and needs meds I have menopur, ganirelex and a few others so just send me a pm and I will send it out to you.

Re: My Update

  • Good luck as you start looking into the adoption process - Adoption for Dummies was amazingly helpful, if you haven't already checked it out.

    I don't blame you at all for taking a break - your mental health and peace of mind have to be respected and honored, no matter what.

    I will second the sage words of Colinda. I'm sorry your journey hasn't brought you to the place you wanted and expected. It's so unbelievably hard.

    I wish you the best on your new path!

    12 long, hard years of TTC-
    Miscarriages, losses, lots of treatments & drugs & IVF
