If the answer is you want to be a mother, then there are ways to get there. <br /><br />If it were me, I would really get things moving with adoption because I think being a mother is more important than getting pregnant. <br /><br />There is no reason you can't try while going through the adoption process. If the money issue is holding you back, don't give it a second thought. When you have a child in your arms, you won't care about the cost of things. <br /><br />Also, something to think about - Mr. JB's last semen analysis was on the lowish side, right? I can't remember the count, but I would think about getting him tested again. If his counts are still on the lowish side, then maybe a surgery with Dr. H would be moot point, you know? <br /><br />If you want to chat, you know where to find me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-37304457916662804992011-02-21T16:32:32.265-06:002011-02-21T16:32:32.265-06:00I am really really sorry and wish there was someth...I am really really sorry and wish there was something concrete I could do, like take you out to lunch or something.

I always thought I'd have more mixed feelings about it all, but that hasn't been the case.<br />The whole adoption process has been so completely different than I had imagined - maybe because there was already a match when we started? I don't know, but I can say that it's been so many years since I felt like TTC was the last thing on my mind...and I am totally okay with that! <br />Eventually, you and your husband will make a decision, and hopefully you'll feel that peace as well.

TO DO ANYTHING to become a Mom.<br /><br />And, I think adoption is an amazing anything to do.<br /><br />I hate to say this cause it always comes out wrong, but after pursuing adoption, since you are still young, you could still go full throttle with having your own child when you are older again.<br /><br />Just a thought. A way to let you shift into another mode that will bring a baby HOME to you NOW!!!<br /><br />Sorry if I sound intense. <br /><br />It's my weakness.<br /><br />Love you dear Sister in Christ.<br /><br />Little JoAnnLittle JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774508410924547548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-66130147642822947742011-02-21T10:22:11.944-06:002011-02-21T10:22:11.944-06:00I wish I could take your pain away.

I'll pray for you guys! (And this may not be helpful, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a choice between one or the other. I know some adoption agencies want you to stop trying to conceive, but not all do, and some agencies would define treating underlying medical issues differently than they would treat IVF in that determination.)andnotbysighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17423075130400834842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-16350036231285188312011-02-21T08:41:53.438-06:002011-02-21T08:41:53.438-06:00It's so tough.

But I faced my fears/reserached into it and spoke with the agency I will work with and they answered alot of my questions honestly and now aside from needing to save more $$ for the international adoptionthat is the tentative plan for next year for us. If you asked me 1 year ago if I would consider adoption I would say "no way at all".I also felt that making a decision to adopt seems like i'm failing my body and giving up on conceiving on my own but i also came to terms that that is not true because we are still trying every month whatever the outcome might be. But in the end I agree you just want to be a mother. I ask myself "how much more do I give myself to this pain and suffering" before I decide to change channels on this ttc path.<br />I also make the decision for you..consider adoption it will help relieve ALOT of stress on your part. Ask the questions with the adoption professionals of anything you are unsure of and see if that will help solidify your decision to consider adoption or not. No one really knows if the decision we make is right or not but at the end it has to be right one for the both of you. BIG Hugs.<br /><br /><br />This is a lonely and frustrating journey especially when each month passes us by and yet no baby in our arms.
