Lee, thank you for your kinds words. In some way I think my attitude came from you. I cant tell you exactly what or when but you had at some point put something on the thread and it seemed to click with me. That, and the 2 month forced break from all the craziness gave me a new perspective I think. Dh is crazier and crazier in love with the idea every day of having a little one.Each day he pats my belly and talks to it and telling it to grow.He's my rock.Glad your paperwork came through. I cant wait to hear about your trip when you get the go ahead. I watched adoption stories again today. A family went to Columbia to get 3 (twins age 7 and a sister aged 5). I cried it was so touching.

Hello all! I have not been on for a few days. Toni- I love the name. If we ever get pg and have a boy we plan to name it Michael Grayson. Kind of a coincedence there. I am on day 5 of the prometrium. If I do not get af by the end of month they will do another blood test and an u/s, While I am pretty sure I am not pregnant it is good to know that this med only gives a period if you are not and will not force a period if you are. Hoping to get back to the RE soon. We may end up having to take one more cycle off so we can save a little more money up because we want to see about doing the back to back IUI and we are only using injections.

Well Isa, I appreciate that I might have helped in any way. I realized a long time ago that if I don't start thinking that there is a reason for everything that was happening, I would go crazy. So, yesterday I received our approval and even though I knew it was coming and what it would say it took my breath away and my heart skipped a beat when I opened it. It was the culmination of so much work and it was confirmation from someone else that we were prepared to receive this great blessing. I hope if you ever come to the point of making this decision that you will know it feels as amazing as it did when I knew my girl was coming, I just hope you have three bouncing babies before you decide to adopt too! I am already thinking about submitting the paperwork so we can adopt again after this one.

Lee congrats!!!

Lee that is fantastic news, Congratulations. For me, it's prettu ,much over again this month. My temp plummeted from sat & sun of 98.0 down to 97.1 (11dpo) so even if it by fluke is an implantation dip it sends me into the 52% chance of miscarriage rate for a late implantation. I got on the phone this am and made an appt with the RE for a review for Friday morning. I'm assuming he will put me back on injections again (I have one months supply left) but we'll have to see. I havent been on them since the chemical pregnancy in Oct and then I had the cysts and we had to cancel the cycle and then xmas came and I couldnt be monitored so I'm just assuming he will give the go ahead for the shots. I'll know for sure wed or thurs if I'm pregnant but not holding much to it. It's actually easier to get the negative phone call now on Wed rather than having my temps be high, expecting good news and getting the bad news. Oh well. We'll see what doc says on Fri.

Oh Isa, I wish I knew what to say. You have tried to handle this so calmly and you really are a superstar as far as that is concerned. Let us see what happens this week. Remember all the miracles out there, whether it is this time or the next time. I have a miracle playing downstairs, so don't count on statistics, just have faith it will happen. Big hugs coming your way.

Isa so sorry to hear about your temps. I hope your dr can give you something new to try? Lee do you have a time frame yet for Hope?

Toni--Obviously there are a million things that can and will go wrong. As of now, our time frame will be 6 months from referral, which will likely be within the next 6 weeks. So call it August that she could be home. By the same token, she could be home in late May or June with luck on our side.

Lee, congratulations!! I'm so happy for you!! Your little girl is going to be very lucky to have such a wonderful mother.

Thanks Judi. So is yours!!!

Lee that is so fantastic - could you imagine may or june? thats only 4 & 5 months away :)

I am just trying not to get my hopes up! Right now, I have a sick dog, driving rain and a three year old, so that could keep me busy for today. You guys all take it easy, okay?

beta came back -'ve. Have a review on Friday with doc. stopping the suppositories and waiting for af to start (usually a 2 or 2 1/2 day wait after stopping them).Sorry about your sick dog Lee, its sometimes worse than a sick child.

Yes, Isa, here is the rundown. Two infected ears, one very seriously, one infected eye, one infected toe and nail. Grand total, $300 and a lot of medicines to administer. I am so sorry about the bfn, but I guess you knew again this time. I am with you, as always.

Isa sorry about the bfn. I am hoping you get good answers/solutions on Friday.

Hi ladies. I am so happy evrybody is doing ok. I was keeping myself outside all TTC chats, forums because I really needed a break. Last IUI (3rd) in december didn't work out either and AF show up before Xmas. I had a bad tooth infection between Xmas and New Year and was taking Penicilin for 2 weeks and after that had a yeast infection. It was a very painfull hollidays. I talked a lot to my husband about adoption (he wasn't prepared for) before New Year and finally he agreed that was time for adoption. I couldn't believe it. I've reading, researching and making contacts about international adoption because I want to adopt a brazilian baby and guess what I found out yesterday??? We can NOT adopt because we are not american citizens :-( WE live in Atlanta for 5 years with the E-1 work visa. So we are alliens not citizens... That is so sad!! But in other way my period is late. I have very short cycles (no longer than 28) and today is day 31. I am feeling some sort of weird-thiny-constant-little cramps last 3 days but no blood or spotting at all, wich is complety a miracle because I have brownish spotting every cycle days before AF. My emotions are so confused right now that I am freaking out and couldn't do a HPT because in almost 4 years TTC the only time cycle was this long was when I got pregnant but had m/c few days after Beta/hcg results. I was also expecting AF to start the last IUI... and the adoption stuff hit me really badly. Sorry for this long post but I needed to share all of this with you that are so supporttive girls. Pregnant ladies - did you have this kind of cramp the same time AF was supose to show up?? Hope God give strengh to take a test. About adoption - I have to contact local autorities in Brazil to find out is there is "window" in the law that allow me to make domestic adoption even tough living in another country. Thanks for listening to me. Baby Dust!!!!
