AFM LADIES.... I'm officially OUT. My doctor gave me the devastating news a few weeks ago that my leaky valves and some left side heart failure would make it very risky for me to proceed with concieving a child and carrying it full term. I could most likely die giving birth or shortly after because of the strain it would put on my heart. I wish she would of told me this 6 months ago...instead of giving me the green light and letting me spend half my savings on infertility treatments Oh well....what can i do about it now?? nothing!
So...where are we going to go from here? Back to the adoption option for us. We have been already approved...we registered with an agency a year ago...just in case I couldnt get pregnant. The program is the China Special Needs Program.....we had requested a child with a minor heart defect considering our extensive knowledge in that area. The program is quite fast...problem is coming up with all of the funds for it. But I think if we budget properly we can do it.
BUT...to add insult to injury...... I have 3 step-children who I love dearly....the middle child 14 years old is a 7 year cancer survivor....we found out 2 weeks ago she will be fighting the fight AGAIN. They found a Tumor in her sinus cavity ....the same place the last one was. The outcome looks very grim....since she has maxxed out on her radiation levels and surgery would be a nightmare considering its in her facial tissue. We are simply devastated. The thought of trying to go through this adoption at this time makes my stomach turn... I would not want to take anything away from the serious situation that has come up with my step-daughter. I ahve cried myself to sleep over this the past week . I cannot picture our family without her
So...I am asking myself...why?
Why does life have to be so complicated and why do bad things happen to good people???????
I thought I could bring good news to this thread finally, but no. AF is here.

Well, it's been two months...no AF. Course, I went five months last year without one. My fibroids make me so irregular. I'm going to go have a blood test to see if it really is negative. I have taken three preg tests, all negative. I keep feeling she's coming, but she's stuck. I know when she'll want to come....in early June when I leave for WDW.
Just once, I'd like to have a normal AF. Just once. I tell you what. If when I go see this dx if i ever can get in to see him/her and we try things to no avail and I cannot concieve; I am getting a hysterectomy. I am soooo tired of AF. I hate her.

I hate seeing all this sad news. It doesn't make it any easier. The tears just keep on flowing. I can't even listen to music anymore.
I'm so sorry KG & Teresa, so so so sorry
Gabbie -
Do you know what the hold up is you getting into the RE? I was able to get an appointment in under 2 weeks. Of course if you aren't going to the someone at the Tulsa Fertility Center they just might have a bigger backlog....
Hi everyone...I've kinda been lurking lately since we're not planning on TTC'ing until November-ish...but I thought all may be the best to ask.
We're considering going to WDW 9/11...but realize that puts us right in the "due date" range if we were lucky to get preggers first time around (which seeing as how it took over a year for us to get a BFP first time around I'm skeptical). Do you think we should go in 5/11 instead of 9/11??? I've been to WDW pregnant before and I'm ok with it...it does kind of seem like a no-brainer but we're DVC members and I'm worried about using more points (wouldn't have to borrow - but I wonder if I should bank the points instead).
Thanks.
