What am I doing?

in Infertility Veterans
I just called an RE's office about getting my hydrosalpinx removed. We're waiting for a match with an adoption agency and I'm already thinking a year or so out past an adoption and trying for IVF again - with my measly less than 0.2 AMH. Am I crazy? Is IF/TTC addictive??? Even after thinking I've "moved on" to adoption?

    you need to do what feels right.  where you might have moved on to pursue adoption, you may not have moved on so much that you have given up ttc.  You can have one without the other.  ::hugs:: good luck to you in both!

    I think that what you are doing is normal and what I would do. Hold on to all hope that IVF could work for you. GL!! 

    Multiple ectopics, 2 failed IVF's
    IVF #1: Did not get to ET, embies all failed PGD (major chromosomal defects)
    IVF #2: We have 2 chromosomally perfect embies as a result of PGD (Boy/Girl) 1 failed the thaw (Girl) Transferred 1, yet ended as a c/p
    Thought it was the end of our TTC Journey 6/20/2012
    SHOCK BFP 9/28/2012: IT'S A BOY! and everything is normal !!!!!!

    Little A born 38w 2d on 05/23/13 and is a true miracle for this IF Vet!

    My AMH is the same as yours. I have always been a severely poor responder (max 2 eggs retrieved), but I still want to try again with my OE's. I do not think you are crazy!

    If you feel you want to try again with your OE's while pursuing adoption you should!

    I don't think you're crazy at all. As long as you have the right body parts, you've got some chance of success. I know it sounds cliche, but I still believe in miracles.

    I think it is definitely addictive.  It's really hard to "quit" when maybe the next time will be the miracle you've been waiting for.  I should post what my infertility survival book says about figuring out when to stop when I get home.  I thought it was quite well put

    ETA - hmmmmm not as short of an answer as I remember.

    You are not crazy.  I think it's perfectly normal to not want to give up completely.  I always say this cycle is "the end of the road," but all that means is the end of the road medically.  I don't think I'm ready to give up trying on my own, even though it is a very very long shot for me.

    I know this is a bit late but I agree with the ladies above!!  You have to do what works for you.  My little secret is that I am contemplating the same thing...I don't know why but I feel that I have one more in me too.  Thinking of you!
    TTC since 3/07. IVF#1 = canceled. IVF#2 = 0% fertilization. IVF#3 = BFN. IVF#4 = c/p.  
    Moving forward with Adoption 2017!
