- Yeah Period!

[Guest guest]

I know what you mean about feeling so excited about

cramps! The one period I've had was so exciting I

wanted to shout it from the rooftops! Glad everything

is progressing well for you and keep us up to date!

Thank you for sharing your feelings (and your

emotionaly journey from " no way " to " maybe so " ) I

appreciate your perspective. Yes, I know that there

is a complete lack of control of the birth mother when

you adopt - but I think the difference is that it is

not " my " child the way you refer to it. At least not

biologically not " mine " . I still view adoption as

adopting someone else's child...not " my " child. It is

true that the child eventually becomes mine...but it

doesn't start out that way the way that it does with

surrogacy. I knows it's a pretty nebulous distinction,

but it is the way I feel, right now at least. But

maybe I should do some research and listen to some

GS's just to make sure that I've considered all our

options. Thank you for the perspective . I'll

try to keep an open mind.

As for the pregnancy rates, I hope you are right that

it is 50% - that's much better than the 30% my doctor

told me....but, I have a feeling that the 30% is the

more accurate number in my particular case with the

severity and extensive nature of my scar tissue. And I

think our own profile list bears that out as there

have only been a small handfull of women that have

been able to conceive and carry to term after severe

Asherman's in our group. Never-the-less, I cling to

the hope that I will be one of the 30%....just so many

hurdles to get over to find out....
