Not so much

Yeah, as I kind of suspected, our third IUI didn't work out. But at least I feel like I've given IUI's a genuine chance to work, so now we know we have to move on to other things. Other than the cramps and occasional bouts of sadness, I'm pretty okay with all of this. Though my sister-in-law just had a baby last night and is already complaining about her lack of sleep...I'm thinking of steering clear of that situation until I'm in a better place.

What's everyone else up to? Any news or progress or decisions made?

Hillary, im so sorry! I know ive said a millions times that i know what your going through, and maybe i don't, but i just started today, and i didn't go to work because of cramps. I have been fine until i watched the baby story. Why do i do that to myself?? Moving onto another step means that your one step closer. What are you plans now that you are done with IUI's?

I went to the rcc there in sandy and saw Dr. Blower, he's great and suggested a higher dose of clomid and wants me to try 2 or 3 more cycles of IUIs. Honestly, i just wanted to have an IVF and get it over with, but i wasn't so welcoming to the pain all around. Who knows, i guess, i just have to learn to take things in the Lord's time and not mine. Easier said than done, that's for sure!!

Hang in there hun. Lets make a date and go to the temple before it snows!!!:)

Hey Hillary,

So sorry to hear that the 3rd IUI didn't work. I was so hoping for some good news on this one, I think we could all use an uplifting story!

You'll have to keep us al apprised about what is next on the list for you guys.

We're still just sitting her in limbo as well. Our current health insurance doesn't cover any prenatal or hospital visits pertaining to pregnancy, so the IUI route would probably not be the smartest thing right now. (Could end up costing more than triple what IVF would in the end) I also have a few more months of BCB's that should hopefully be a benefit to me when I finally stop taking them.

And as far as the adoption route goes, we haven't even printed off the paperwork to begin again. Sigh. Not that we're at all opposed. I guess we've been feeling rather content lately, and our guy certainly keeps us running both day and night.

Who knows what will happen. I'm feeling very much like Beck did when she wrote her post on procrastination. If we finally feel a gigantic smack across the head, we'll jump up and get to work on things.

I'm still in my delusional state of mind. You know, that dream world where someone walks up to your door step, rings the bell, and hands you a baby, then walks away. Yup, I'm insane!

Again, good luck with everything, and we would love to hear about the next step in your baby-getting journey!

I'm still in limbo along with Kerith. Working on selling our house has taken precedence over the babymaking/adoption stuff. It's silly, really, because I just need to do the dang HSG test (for the infertility route), and start filling out paperwork (for the adoption route). Stupid. The paperwork is sitting here right in front of me, but I just don't have any motivation to start filling it out yet. And it just takes a dang phone call to schedule that test, and what am I doing? Sitting here at the computer catching up on other people's blogs...

Oh well. I'm hoping for that baby on my doorstep, too. :)

Hillary I am so sorry. I agree with Kerith I think we all could use some good news. Keep us updated on your plans. We are just filling out all the info for the adoption route. Really didnt know what a process it was.

Those who know me know that once I decide on something I don't waste any time. We should be approved for our adoption in a couple of weeks. Just hoping this is what the Lord wants us to do???? Love you all and we really need some good news. Hang in there it is bound to come!

Chris and I are still trying to decide if we are truly ready to start the process all over again. I just started back to school and between that and work, I am not sure if the timing is right. So there will be a lot of knee bending exercises done at our house, to know the right answer.
