| Natalie | Posted: Oct 01, 2004 01:54:23 PM I was using fertility drugs to try to become pregnant. It was 2 years 3 months before my usband and I decided to move on into the adoption process -the doctor said after two years of this I was considered infertile. We started the home study and I concentrated on more schooling and before we knew it, I had to stop the home study because we were expecting. (the Agency would not proceed with the process if there were big changes going on in the household.) Anyways, a great surprise! I also know of another family who first adopted after years of infertility and months after the adoption actually succeeded in getting pregnant, much to their surprise!! Anyways, it really is up to you and your husband as to how far you are willing to try to have a biological child. There really are so many children out there in need of parents to call their own. You both have to decide together. Communication really is the key. My hubby and I remained open to the idea of adoption, we have two biological children now. We are re-entering the adoption process even after all these years. Anyways, good luck in whatever you decide to do. | ||
| Brenda | Posted: Nov 21, 2003 12:16:28 PM My husband and I tried seven times. Second was a success and we have a wonderful 4 year old boy. The fifth time I carried full term and our second boy did not make it. We never knew why. I was pregnant again and miscarried. So, after all that we are now in the process of adopting. It is a personal decision and maybe we tried to many times but we felt there was a possibility of getting pregnant through IVF. You need to do what you feel is right in your heart. Best wishes and good luck. | ||
| Mary | Posted: Oct 31, 2003 10:05:17 PM My husband and I tried infertility treatments twice and the second time it was a positive, but shortly after I miscarried. It's then that we started thinking that even though we could probably go through it again, we just realized that there are so many children that need parents to love them that we decided to adopt. | ||
| MARY | Posted: Oct 29, 2003 08:29:59 PM THAT IS A PERSONAL DECISION THAT ONLY YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE CAN COME TO. WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THEN TREATMENTS THERE ARE ALWAYS OTHER OPTIONS, BUT ONLY YOU CAN MAKE THAT CHOICE.BEST OF LUCK. | ||
