Re: 3T check in -
No update here. I haven't even really been temping this cycle. Not sure when we'll do our next/last femara/injects cycle. Maybe next month. If that fails, then we're pretty much done because I'm not sure IVF is in the cards for us financially. I don't even want to go there mentally just yet though.

FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
*LR* We named baby girl Eva, meaning "life." Although her life was very short our lives have forever been changed because of her
We are leaning toward forgoing IVF and once again planning to pursue adoption. I would like to start now but DH said he's still healing from our recent loss and needs a bit more time. It's hard to wait but I love him and he needs to be fully ready before we jump in.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermit's so hard to know when the "right" time is to move forward. The fact of the matter is, you will never be done mourning the loss of your perfect little baby. I know I struggled with the feeling of trying to "replace" Josh and Zoe after their loss. I will never replace them, but we knew that we wanted to grow our family, we have our heavenly children and now an "earth" child. I'm so sorry. huge huge hugs
