Transpacific Babymaking.... (Intro)

member
Newbie here!
I moved to Singapore (work) in Jan and DP still lives in Nashville.
Decided to start TTC!!
Been tracking dates for a few years now, so this last trip was our best first attempt and also only full FW until Christmas. As in, together the whole FW and no family in the same house! jaja
Now to hurry up with this TWW.....
At least we'll hopefully have a cool story to tell when this works out. This one would mean an Indonesian surprise!

@mrsfinni - we're still in the daily routine. If it happens; awesome. If not; still fun!

@14whitney - I bring home the bacon, DP fries it up!!!
Proudly on the dark side
I'm 31, he's 28.
Dating 6 yrs through now our 3rd city. (Minneapolis, Nashville, Singapore)
Both avid triathletes/crossfitters/mtn bikers and with my recently broken and healing arm, more of a runner/crossfitter for me.
I was diagnosed with Endo when I was 14. Spent over a decade on BCPs, Depo and then Lupron (yeah, try explaining menopause to college friends. Awesome.) in between 2 laparoscopic endoscopies. More yay!
Got sick of the drugs, found the holistic thing, she got me off all drugs almost 5 yrs ago and I'm now a drug free AF predictable and regular woman for the first time in my life!!
So after correcting that mess (and being told at 14 I'd never be able to conceive) an hoping those idiots were wrong. FX!!
If it doesn't work, we decided we can [ETA: adopt] instead........
As a person who has placed a child for adoption, this is pretty offensive.
Didn't mean to offend.
Lots of girls want to grow up to be mothers. Naturally. Of their own born children. Kids get KU without even trying. Pretty sure that's why some if not most of you are here, no?
Now have a doctor tell you, at 14yo, that it ain't gonna happen.
Dream crushed. Insert 16 yrs of finding a way to accept it. And so be it if it's through making light of it.
I get that it's more than a financial transaction. I have close friends on all sides of it. And they don't to seem to get all bent out of shape about it. They realize that having a child is a gift. And not everyone is a DIY kinda person.
Nothing I said was to intentionally piss you off. And I'm sorry it did. But try and realize that and maybe see the other side of it too.
Try not rationalizing what you've said and understand that you are talking to a much more diverse group of women than your close friends on all different sides of "this". I think if you really think about it, what you said was offensive. We get that you had endo and thought you couldn't have a baby on your own but that does not give you free reign to make offensive jokes about adoption.
Apologize, get over it and participate in the group.
However, adoption is nothing to joke about in an open forum. If that's what you need to cope, keep it between you and your SO and close friends.
I do not like to think of my daughter's adoptive parents having "just bought one."
Both sides need sensitivity.
Friends on?
Eta. Ouch that was a rough start
