My fertility update
While I'd love to be posting a BFP I am sorry to say I got AF yet again. I had a meltdown yesterday and decided that I can't do this anymore. I can't go through this disappointment month after month. It's bad enough to think that I am supposed to be 7 mos pg with twins but then to keep getting AF on top of it is putting me over the edge. Three years of trying w/no success is too much.
So I called the Yale Fertility Clinic and we are going at the end of this month. I can't wait. We decided that if treatments don't work then we are going to look into adoption. I was pretty anti-adoption for a while but I am starting to realize that it doesn't matter how I become a mother, I just want to be one.
Thanks for listening and just wanted to say thanks to the other ladies who have been posting about their RE visits....it gives me the courage to post too. I'll give you all an update after I see the Dr.
Let's hope this Dr can get me knocked up (for 9 months!)
Re: My fertility update
Suzanne, your strength through this whole thing has been amazing. Thank you for sharing your story, however painful it may be. I know it helps all of us in some way. Please know that we are all here to support you through whatever comes your way in the future. I'll keep thinking good thoughts.
I'm glad you called and I'm so glad you are going this month.
I really think you will be the mother of your own biological child, but I think it's wonderful you are open to adoption.
No matter what you are going to be a WONDERFUL mother some day and I know it's gonna be soon. You have more strength than anyone I know and you have no idea how much I respect you for keeping your chin up through all you've been through.
Always in my prayers...can't wait for your miracle to happen.
Best of luck- and you know I'm always here if you need me.
Suzanne,
I am so glad you're going to YFC and considering adoption. I know in my heart that you will be a mother, no matter what road you have to take to reach your final destination. You know I am always here to support you, and I wish you the best of luck!
Hitting 'bottom' is so hard--but it sounds like you are on an upswing, and I'm happy to read that! It's hard to feel there is no control over this--the getting pregnant, the staying pregnant, etc. Making that Yale appointment is putting some control back into your hands, and that makes such a positve difference.
I feel for you, and although have not suffered the loss of a miscarriage, I have struggled witth IF--I know you have posted to support me when I shared my info, please know I do the same for you--sending you thoughts & prayers! Hope we have baby bellies together someday soon!
Smiles,
~Lisa
I am so sorry that this has been such a long road for you. But I know you're meant to actively mother (you were born a mom, no doubt in my mind) no matter what the circumstance that brings it about.
Keep us posted!
Suzanne, your post put tears in my eyes. I know you've been through so much and you deserve to be a mother. I wish you all the luck in the world and I pray to God that he will bless you with a child very very soon.
I'm sending lots of hugs your way.
((hugs) wishing you much success with the doctors at Yale.
((HUGS))
Good luck with your appointment at the end of the month. You are handling this very well and you are a very strong individual. Please keep us updated on your progress.
((hugs)) and you WILL be a mommy no matter which way it comes about. Although I feel as if you will have your own children, there are so many babies who need love out there. My parents just adopted a little boy from Taiwan and he's such a blessing.
((hugs)) wishing you tons of success
I absolutely appreciate that you (and all the other ladies) are willing to share your story here. I cannot put myself into your shoes, but as someone who has been off the pill for almost 5mos and not ovulated, I can understand at least some of the emotions. I have learned so much from all the ladies here, not just about fertility, but about strength and perserverance.
(((hugs)))
Good Luck!! I have a feeling you will be successful either way!
Best wishes to you!
Just remember RE's are there for you. Their goal is to get you a little one. The visits, tests and procedures aren't bad, heck one was better then a dentist appt I had the same day. GL with your journey.
