Adoption
TTC with PCOS since Feb. 07. Currently on a break to save $$ for IUI.
Searching for My Mini M&M
Follow Up- Telling parents
Well, we survived that part anyway!! I was surprised on their reactions to the news. However it did stir up a lot a family issues/drama that happened in the past during our IF treatment cycles & struggles.
Now my parents want us to all get together and talk/scream/hash is out. Honestly that is not something that I want to do but I feel like I have to do.
On to the homestudy novel of paperwork. Thanks your words of support the other day.
Have a great day everyone!!

Re: Follow Up- Telling parents
Good luck to you and YH. I hope all of you can resolve and move past the past drama as well.
Edited: I misunderstood the family's reaction... So.. removed the "Don't back down" comments since it's irrelevant in a supporting family.
July - Nov 2011: Testing with OB... OB said everything looks good
March - Sept 2012: Moved to RE.. 4 treatment cycles - responses of one or no follicles
09.03.12: Diagnosed Poor Ovarian Response.. DE IVF only option
Feb - Nov 2012: Pursued Adoption. That door slammed shut.
12.23.12: Surprise BFP (first ever)... 12.25 - 12.31: Natural M/C
Surprised in a good way or surprised in a bad way?
Why do your parents want to hash things out?
Or maybe I'm missing part of the backstory...
Surprised in a good way to the adoption news.
There is A LOT of back story but long story short...while we were going through IF treatments many ppl around us were "Oops, we are pg." and I was not in a good place mentally or emotionally and a lot of things were said on both sides and I haven't seen or spoken to most of my mother's family in 2 yrs or long. So basically my parents feel that it would be good to get together to "work it out" (their words not mine). Honestly I think it's going to be the next world war. There are sooooo many things wrong with ppl in this family that I don't think Dr. Phil would touch us with a 10 foot pole.
I'm glad the adoption talk went well
Sorry to hear your family is doing this. Would having a neutral third party be helpful? Or at least ground rules? I honestly wouldn't do it if you don't think it would be productive.
I don't think it's up to your parents to decide if it would be good for you to get together with the other family members to work it out.
If you think it's going to be awful - you said the next world war - than I don't think I would do it. If you want to talk to anyone in your family specifically I think that's fine. But I wouldn't do a big 'group thing' to hash it all out. That's way too much to deal with and probably wouldn't go well with everyone's feelings and emotions.
I'm sorry it's been hard.
