Thank you to everyone who offered encouragement and advice. I really value what you ladies think, since you've been with me through all of our infertility and foster care experiences over the past year, and you understand a lot of what I'm thinking and experiencing.
After sleeping on it, H and I discussed IVF again this morning, and he was even more adamant and convinced than he was yesterday that he wanted us to try IVF. I would still ultimately prefer embryo adoption, but I can understand his desire for biological children and want to respect and support that. So, like many of you had mentioned as well, I think the best compromise for us is to do this one IVF cycle with our new RE clinic. If it's not successful, he's agreed that we won't try IVF again and will pursue embryo adoption at that point.
We're going to try to squeeze this in before the end of the year, so FX we can get everything done in time and our insurance will approve a freeze all cycle (when it's accurately requested/represented by our new clinic...!). Dec 2 is the last day we could possibly start stims based on when their labs close for the holidays, so we have about 3 weeks to get everything in place and signed off.
