TTC update
Hi girls,
Sorry I've been in such a yucky mood lately. I do want you all to know that I am so happy for all of you that are expecting, I didn't mean to bring the mood down with saying all the baby talk was bumming me out. Well today finished our TTC journey. I had my HSG and everything looked good, but the RE addressed H's semen analysis. He basically didn't have any, they said < 1000 and most of them were dead and the one's that weren't were completely abnormal. It was laid flat out for us that unless we pursue IVF with donor sperm there is no way we are going to get pregnant. He didn't' sugar coat it and we spent most of the last week discussing what we would do if one of us came back with bad test results. So that being said, we're going to take some time to digest all of this, and then pursue a infant domestic adoption. The cost is similar to if we did the IVF round with donor sperm (which frankly kind of skeeves me out, the thought of some strangers sperm in my body) but the probability of bringing home a baby is much better. Our old house is going on the market this week and if we get what we hope (and we priced it to sell) it would cover our adoption costs,
Re: TTC update
I'm so sorry that the tests came back with less than favorable results.
I think your decision to adopt is great. And I wish you and your H all the best for that new journey.
I hope that your old house sells super quick and you're able to move ahead with your plans asap!!!
Huge ((hugs)) and many T&Ps being sent your way!!

I've been sending lots of T&P's and was hoping for a better outcome. At least now you have information to work with and you have a plan for the future. I think adopting is an amazing decision and I wish you both the best. I hope the house sells quick as then it will take some off your shoulders with just having that done.
Sending lots of hugs and warm wishes and T&P' and wonderful nestie vibes.
