One Last Option

There is one more option left for Brad and I to think about. We can adopt donor eggs to try to get pregnant. Do I want to do this? Right now, no. Will I ever want to do it? May be. We will talk about it. The process of getting donor eggs doesn't seem to be too complicated but it can be a lengthy process.

So for now, please continue to pray for us as we continue to make decisions.

God has blessed us with a beautiful little girl that we wouldn't trade for the world. If this is our only gift of a child, then we shall continue to love, nurture and spoil her until she decides to move out and become a woman of her own. And then she will be our friend. We have so much to look forward to.

Follow up with doctor

Tomorrow Brad and I plan to meet with the doctor to discuss past attempts to become pregnant and see what his opinion is about future attempts. At this moment I'm ready to quit, but I'd like to see if he has any other options for us. I will post after our appointment.

Good News Comes to an End

My progestrone level was high due to the medication I was on. Unfortunately over the weekend I started my cycle, which is a positive for NOT being pregnant. Brad and I have an appt to follow up with Dr. Jarrett on the 16th. It's difficult to understand why this has happened but I'm at peace with the fact that I will never have another child.

We are looking at other options. Adoptions sounds really appealing to me. There are so many children needing mommy and daddy's who will love them unconditionally and I'm ready to share my love. I am hoping to get a referral to an agency so that we can start looking into it. I've read a general overview of what needs to happen but we need a reliable agency to help us.

I plan to post the appointment on the 16th but after that I will switch the name from IVF journal to possibly an adoption journal. We will see.
