Re: RE appt today (IVF & adopt ment)

[Guest guest]

Pam,

Awesome news on the ivf. You must be thrilled.

It doesn't really seem your dr's place to interfere in your plans about

adoption. That is something only you and your dh can decide together.

It's a toughie, and I honestly don't know what I would do. I'm keeping my

fingers crossed for you.

Pam,

Wow!! Alot has gone on hasn't it!! I think I would go with your dh and

finish up the adoption paperwork, then like you said you won't be at

square one again if the IVF didn't work the first time, it sounds like

your dr. has a great plan though! and to start in January then you would

know if it worked or not because you were planning on going to Russia in

the spring anyway...so, at least you have lots of options available and

the timing is going to work out great!

Pam,

That is wonderful news! You and dh must be thrilled. At least now you

have timeframe to concentrate on. As far as the adoption process, I'm

not sure what you should do. I have a good feeling about the IVF (as I

did with Kim). BUT (there's always a but right), if you feeling more

comfortable why not proceed slowly with that also. I'm keeping you in

my thoughts and prayers.

Love & hugs,

Hi Pam. Cool game plan. I got the chills reading your message. I

am so excited to hear your dr seems very positive! Sounds like they

are taking the right steps for the lining too! As far as your

question goes....I tend to believe things happen for a reason. So,

if you have 3 babies in a year -it was meant to be and you can handle

it! I know you can handle it!

Take care,

I agree that sometimes things are meant to be. When I first knew I

had an IF problem I thought I really would have liked 3 kids. I was

thinking at that point that I would probably only have one. I

personally think twins are cool but there can be a lot of

complications. Luckily my mom lives up the road. She would love this.

My dh thinks she hangs around to much though already. My dh also

wants me to go back to work. But w/3 kids I think I will be able to

get my way and stay home.

Pam, if you have 3 young ones all at once, your dh will be begging

your mom to come over all the time :-)

Pam,

Oh, I'm so excited for you and your plan. I'd say keep up w/the

adoption proceedings. I wish you all the best of luck in the next

couple of months. Keep us posted to how your cycles are going!! Take

care.
