Hello everyone. My dh and I have been trying to grow our family for awhile now but can't due to female IF (pof at 17). We had tried fresh DE about 3 years ago that ended in miscarriage and subsequently took off from the whole baby thing for about 1.5-2 years. We had originally thought of adopting, since it seemed like the most guaranteed way to have a child but I stumbled onto embryo adoption and we are now considering doing this as the costs for it are about a third of the cost of adoption and I guess I still wanna try to get pregnant. I was wondering if anyone here has any advice or what we can expect if/when we decide to go this route?
Thanks!
Thanks!
