Y_ghazaly - Oh, I can read your pain through your words. I know this is such a sensitive subject but you can’t blame your DH for not getting pregnant yet. I say this because what would you do if you found out that you are the one w/ the problem and couldn’t have kids? He is still the same person you married and you are also.y_ghazaly wrote:hi everyone:)

we visited the co-ordination agency and had a long chat with the social workers. we've decided to bring home a baby girl. im sooooooo excited. of course, it will take some time, we need to complete a whole lot of formalities and a lot of documentation......but at least we've started out. and it feels GREAT!! believe me. and if you want to continue trying with ART, y dont u try india......there are some really good and reasonable treatment options available in india. im in ahmedabad, gujarat, india, and go to dr banker at pulse hospital. you can chk it online. its a very decent place, great doctors n staff, and i have come across a lot of foreigner couples who have come to Pulse for ART. lemme know if u need any help.Mkd – that is so exciting about the adoption process! I have always wanted to adopt also. Please keep us updated w/ the process.mkd wrote:hello everybody......im back after my week of crying over my BFN

i need some advice.....should we continue trying for a biological child, or shd we just let that be now?? we're really confused over it. would really appreciate some advice please.
ghazala......believe me, adoption may be the last option, but the thought of having a baby in the house.....its just so exciting.....all your other sadness and fears will fade away the minute you realise there's going to be a baby home

and get you pregnant!!! (just wishing to have others to cycle with next year... don't worry about that... just jocking!!!) Praying the best for your futures and for healing.
That must have been so hard to do dear. But hopefully the second IVF will be the one for you. Try and keep it to yourself so you don't have to do that ever again and then when you get pg you can announce it with pride to everyone. I hear ya about teh $12,000 it's a killer for people who have no insurance. We don't have that in Canada so we pay full price too. It's good meds are covered and u/s and ob apts and everything else is though. When we cycled with De it was close to $20,000 so that's why I prefered Embryo Adoption... just didn't have another $20,000 again.amanda1979 wrote:Hello everyone
I really don't have much going on right now since the failed IVF and in limbo waiting on the next cycle in July. A friend of mine sent me a video of song called "I Would Die For That" by Kellie Coffey. If any of you get a chance you should watch it on youtube. It is so true and I will warn you it will make the tears roll, but in a way it has helped me. The song is what I feel & think down to a T. This weekend at work was hard because everyone wanted to know if I was pregnant and I had to tell them no. I work at a hospital as an x-ray tech, so the people I work with my co-workers and nurses were understanding, but it sucked to say no it didn't work. I am looking forward to July, but scared at the same time. What if it doesn't work? We don't have another $12,000.00 for another try. Anyways, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend:)

I know how you feel and sometimes it feels like I should have recorded it and just played it for everyone … lol. I wish you good luck in July and I will be following you. I know you mentioned that cost of the IVF is a concern for you. Have you checked into the shared risks programs for IVF? It is more expensive than just paying for one cycle but they provide you six opportunities to become pregnant or you get your money back for just a onetime payment. They do have some stipulations who they let in the programs but so far, I think you qualify. Why don’t you Google it to get some more information?
Helene – I provided this same answer on our other site but here it is again in case you haven’t seen it!
Here is some info on Fifth’s Disease:
Fifth disease (erythema infectiosum) is a common, usually mild illness spread through the air from an infected person's cough or sneeze. In children, it causes a distinctive “slapped cheek” rash and, less commonly, a low-grade fever, headache, sore throat and joint pain. Infected adults are less likely to develop a rash, but often experience joint pain and swelling, sometimes with mild flu-like symptoms. Symptoms generally appear between 4 and 14 days after exposure.
To reduce the risk of infection, pregnant women should wash their hands thoroughly after touching tissues used by infected children and dispose of these tissues promptly. They also should avoid sharing drinking glasses or utensils with anyone who has or was exposed to the illness. A blood test can determine susceptibility.
****Helene – the most important thing you need to do know is to notify your OB and let them know you could have been exposed to Fifth’s disease and they will order a blood test to see if you are already immune to it or if you are currently infected.
Babyluv – thank you for sharing your family history. So you had siblings who were adopted. My grandfather grew up in an orphanage and once he told me his life story, I knew right then I would adopt a child and provide them the love that they were looking for and provide my family some happiness.
Natakia – You’ve been quiet … how are you and the baby doing?
Waiting4GodsMiracle – if you are referring to the progesterone vaginal suppositories … then yes. I am on them. I agree, the progesterone does make your uterus very sore because it is thickening your uterus lining for implantation but you shouldn’t be sleeping on your stomach right now. It is recommended even through the 2ww, to sleep on your left side. The left side provides better circulation to the baby. Now, that is almost impossible to sleep like that all the time, so I switch back and forth from left to right. Sleeping w/ a pillow between your legs also helps make you a little more comfortable. It is hard for me to get use to because I love to sleep on my stomach but I will get used to it eventually.
AFM – I had my second u/s today and the baby’s HB was 137 and measured exactly where he/she should be. I also signed the papers to have my chart to be transferred to my high risk OB today because my first appointment is next Monday. But, I probably will not be officially released from my RE until I am between 10 and 12 weeks.

The RE we are using did have a shared risk program that we did but you only get 2 cycles at 12,000 instead of 1 at 8,000. I think if the one in July fails I will go somewhere that offers the 6 cycle option if there is someone around Alabama that offers it, but hopefully we won't need to. Amanda1979
