Everything went great. Three embryos thawed beautifully. I had another Dr. do the transfer, so maybe that will be the trick. I have been vegging out today, but that is so hard. I am just supposed to relax, however, after two movies and my fill of judge shows, I had to get up and move a bit. The bedrest is just so your uterus doesn't spasm. I am kind of crampy but that is it. Thanks so much for all the warm wishes and prayers. It means a lot. I hope everyone has a great holiday season!

Fabnsab, what procedure will you be going through in 3 weeks? I hope all goes well, and would like to hear about it if you would like to share. Take care.

Sounds great so far, Jen! lol, i am from a family of all women where anything goes as far as conversation, trust me, I'll share! I am not having a procedure. I just have to get my thyroid back in gear before the doctor will put me on Clomid because he said an underactive thyroid causes low brain activity in babies. I had to go off my meds for a while when we lost our insurance so it was back to square one for me. In three weeks, they will retest my thyroid and then I will be on Clomid. We are in the beginning stages of this process.

Fabs, I wish you the best of luck. How long do you have to be on Clomid? Is it like a few days for a quick jolt? I know that when they put me on it for 5 days, I want to kill the creators of Clomid. I wake up in a cold sweat and I have mood swings that Ken just tries to avoid. I hope you do better on the drug. Thanks Wargod for the prayers. Thank you for thinking of me...it means so much. I hope everyone has a lovely holiday!

Jen, I think he is going to put me on fulltime. I may be wrong but thats what it seems. We tried Metformin first because my insurance covered it but it made me sick to my stomach then by the time I could go back, we lost our insurance. While I didnt have insurance, I bought a fertility monitor and for three months, I never showed a day of ovulation and when I told the doctor he just said "you won't." lol I wish I would have known that before I spent the money! I just thought I had a small window of ovulation. I didnt realize that I just don't do it. So, we'll see what he says. I didn't even know Clomid was for a "quick jolt." That would be great! Happy Holidays to everyone and I hope your holiday wishes come true!!

Well, we are not pregnant. I was for about 2 days (26th and 27th, I could tell I was and took PG tests that were +), but it all went downhill from there. I am still optimistic. We have the Gestational carrier waiting in the wings, however, I am now starting to lean towards adoption. We are going to do a conference call this evening with a man that has recently adopted two, and try to go through his agency. Also, the nurse up at my RE's office is going to provide me with info for getting on the waiting list at their Labor & Delivery center (I didn't even know they had this). She said you would be amazed at the young women who come in who actually don't want the baby. I don't know what the process is, but if you are referred by one of the specialists there, you have a good chance of getting on the list. We are going to try another FET in February/March, but in the meantime, are going to meet with a family law atty. and start getting our ducks in order (after we find an agency). Oh, the Attorney that would be handling the Gestational Carry sent over an updated list of the Stephs' (carriers) new requirements. She adjusted her pricing, and now if we put pen to paper, it will be about $15,000 in addition to her initial request. I just don't feel very comfortable with it anymore. I haven't made up my mind exactly, but I am leaning toward adoption. Thanks all for all the well wishes during the holidays. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers (as we will do the same), and hopefully we will all be blessed by years-end!

That is horrible Julie! I am actually at a loss for words. It is very unfair to the children and the prospective parents.

Jen, sorry to hear your news. It does sound like you have some very promising alternatives. Everything is so expensive and complicated in the "baby attaining" world. I am having a very disheartening day, finding that the wait for international adoption is just getting longer and longer. Two months ago, there were some programs that could "hook you up" within a few months. Inside of two months, that wait is now two years. Then we read about the changes in the Chinese requirements, including needing to have a net value of a certain amount, not be ugly, be a certain weight, etc... And whatever this Hague convention/treaty thing is will impede adoptions from Guatemala. Ugh. No real breaks in the cloudy sky.... (at least not today) So we just sit, wait and hope to hear news on the domestic adoption front. It is very depressing to hear nothing month after month. After month. After month.
