Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Yay Pupp, that's a loud and proud line!!!!
AFM-we are officially back on the TTC wagon which is crazy to me b/c I don't think that it's a possibility (we TTC for 2 years before our now 3 1/2 year old son joined our family through Ethiopian adoption last summer). We were going to start another adoption now, but DH really wants to TTC again. We're planning to adopt in a year or two regardless of the TTC outcome (i.e. we plan to adopt again whether or not we get pregnant, but he wants to experience bringing a child into our family through pregancy as well if that is possible, and we're not getting any younger
)
I am kind of scared b/c during the last TTC journey it felt so discouraging month after month and then at the end we learned that my FSH levels were high but I was also in a really stressful job situation and DH has a low libido neither of which helped.
DH has yet to do an SA and I am not getting an HSG until he does, b/c I had a similar test a few years ago and it was not a fun experience.
Plus, my cycles are a mess right now, not sure why. I had a Dr appt this week, but it got rescheduled due to an emergency call for the Dr. So, we'll see what that holds.
We're definitely not going to pursue IVF as we'd prefer to invest that time and resources in an adoption, and I am on the fence re IUI (namely b/c my hormones already fluctuate widely and I think I'd beocme a raving lunatic on fertility meds)...we'll see how I feel about it in 6 months.
I ordered Fertile Aid for women, Fertile Aid for men, and Fertilitea and we started them today...so, here goes. I guess I am back in the TTC pool! Dh is excited, but I'm still working out how I feel about it
I probably won't be posting much as I want to keep this as low-key as possible. But I lurk a lot and am so happy for you who have shorter TTC journeys!!!! (and just a shout-out for adoption, I can't imagine my life without my son. He is an amazing gift and we are so privileged to be his parents. Toddler and older child adoption is not without challenges, but it is also the most incredible experience of my life! Truly, I wouldn't trade my son for a million positive outcomes in our previous TTC journey.)
