Welcome! I enjoyed reading your intro and your honest assessment and fears. Hopefully the best path will present itself! I'm fascinated with adoption, did you adopt from the U.S. or overseas? MH isn't on board with the idea...yet...but I've always wanted to and if IF is an issue for us, I hope to bring it back to the table. Otherwise welcome and good luck!!
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
Your experience does sound similar to people I know who have adopted. I have a close friend who adopted from China and another from Guatemala. I will say the Guatemalan experience seems to have been better overall but of course it's a small sample, ha. Both families have struggled but both also seem to honestly feel that they would do it again even knowing what they know now. I would never do it if DH wasn't totally on board, I am sure it's a rough road.

I don't know how I missed your intro, ladystrat! I'm so sorry for your losses & welcome. We already know you are a fan of Marc Summers and Double Dare so you'll for in just fine

How beautifully stated. Welcome to our board! I definitely sympathize with your hesitance. No pregnancy will ever be the same after a loss. As for the age differences - I'm 15 months older that my brother and 20 years older than my sister. I have more of an age gap with my sister than my mother! We are all very close and I wouldn't change a thing. I think it's wonderful you've adopted. I have been wanting to start looking into adoption but have fears. Good luck to you and your upcoming appt!

ladystrat. I thought that I had responded to your welcome message.
I'm so sorry for your fertility challenges. I hope that this part of your journey is a short and joyful one. We are here for you. I hope that your May appointment goes positively. XO
Welcome! Mine are pretty spaced too. I have 23 yr old and a 15yr old. If DH and I can make this happen (It will be DH's 1st) then that will be it for us. (I think)
Welcome! I am sorry for your losses and wish you a happy journey. I can relate to the age differences of siblings being a concern and so wanting one more soul to complete our family!

Welcome!
I have siblings close in age but i also have one that is 13 years younger. There is a difference in relationships for sure....but you always love your siblings!
Welcome, I was so sorry to hear about your losses. I understand the difficulty and hesitancy of trying again. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you and your family choose to do!
