Can you adopt one? I'd say there's plenty of kids in awful situations that could benefit of two loving parents.

Yes, we probably could dh is against it right now. Afraid the parent(s) will come back after the child, stories like that.

I have a wonderful 5 year old.

I just got my first positive beta test back on Tueday for our IVF done in June. Its been a LONG road to get here, and I'm cherishing every moment, because I know how lucky I am. We're not out of the woods yet, but I'm putting it in God's hand and taking every moment he gives me with my little one.

Yep... been there done that...wrote the book on it!
No, not literally but you know what I mean.
Been TTC #1 now for 3 & 1/2 years. I have PCOS, don't ovulate on my own and all that fun stuff. Adoption is an option for us however, its not as easy as it sounds.
I'm not ready yet to mourn the loss of a biological child that I may never have. We haven't reached that point of "throwing in the towel".

There's a thread "Getting healthy for baby" that gives a lot of support for women ttc and having fertility issues. They really helped me with support prior to, during and after my pregnancy. I had trouble ttc also

Good God! That video hurt to watch. I am blessed with a seven year old boy and have been ttc for 2 1/2 years. It's hard because I so want to have more children but I feel like I'm not allowed to be sad because I have had a child. I work in a hospital and have worked with the new mothers and it kills me how young they are. I had a friend's 14 year old daughter get knocked up and another friend have two abortions. It takes all I have to be supportive for what they so easily take for granted. I recently made the decision to go to the doctor but I've been so afraid. What if it's not me? What if it is my husband? How will that affect him and will it affect the way I feel about him? Also, adoption is not an option for us. My husband had two adoptive siblings that were a nightmare for him growing up. He can't bring himself to go through that again. Yikes, sorry for that. Too much pent up frustration. sorry!

I have PCOS, too. I had a son when I was 18. Started ttc again when he was two. Nothing happened... after ten years or so, you start to forget about it as an option, y'know. We were never in a position to adopt. I had accepted the fact that I was going to have an only child. I was starting to envision myself living a relative life of leisure as I sent him off to college.

Then, when my son was 14, I went on atkins and went from 230-ish pounds down to 190. It took me about seven months. By the 5th month or so, my periods had started to get more regular. And the seventh month POOF. I was pregnant.

After so many let downs & disappointments over the previous 12 years, I sort of refused to believe it. I had this horrible sense of doom that something terrible was going to happen. I told my family and friends that I refused to believe I was really going to have a baby until my son was about two and a half years old. LOL

He's gonna be six in a couple of months. My older son is in college and little brother starts Kindergarten in a few weeks. So much for my life of leisure. LOL

Not trying to make light of anyone's situation. I know how much it hurts. I just wanted to share a story about how miracles can happen.

I also need to stress how it was NOT my weight that changed. For most of my life, I had been less than 180. It was only for about the last 3 years before I got PG that my weight had gotten higher than that. It was how I was eating and what I was doing to my insulin levels.
