how long

will you continue the ttc journey?

I do not know. With rather limited funds, it is hard to say. I will be seeing a new Dr. next week, hopefully he will have better news for us.

We will continue the journey until our planned nursery room, is just that. A nursery with our little miracle tucked safely in his/her crib every night. I don't know how long that journey will last, what it will lead us to medically, or even if we will be able to have a child of our own. If it sends us down an expensive medical road, we may have to take time to save money but as long as there is some way DH and I can have a biological child, we will try that until there is a baby in my belly! If we cannot, we will take our time and pursue adoption because there are plenty of children that need love in this world (although that can run anywhere from $10,000-$35,000 so it becomes a money pit itself, but what doesn't when a price can be put on a child).

well we have 4 tries at IVF with my insurance (not sure if that's ever or per live birth, the wording is kinda weird) and then I can get added to DH's insurance and I don't know how many tries we'd have with that. I hope hope hope it doesn't ever get to that point, unless it is to add to our family, but we will do what it takes to bring a baby into our home.

I'm not sure. I brought it up to DH once and I said something like "we should decide when we'll stop, then we can get a kitten" and he said "we'll never stop".

As long as it takes...I do have some plans, which makes it easier to get through the months...my first check-point was my first doctor's appointment (TTC related), my second was my new Doctor (who I saw in June), and now, I am waiting until June for Clomid, because that will be 1 yr. from my last appointment with my new Doc.

We will always keep trying to add to our family. At this point our MA stuff is on hold and we are pursuing adoption. After that, we *think* that we'll save up our money for a few years while we enjoy our new bundle of joy and then maybe attempt some MA again down the road.

As long as it takes. If we are not pregnant before this summer, we will do an
IUI, if not by next year, we will do 1 cycle IVF, and after that we may look into adopting.

I don't think we will ever stop, per say. We are Catholic and I use charting (NFP) to avoid and eventually we will just get to the point that we will NTNP.

Our financial limit is IUI which we will probably look into that next summer (2010) when we a little better off financially. We are also discussing adoption in the future!

We aren't going to have much of a choice on the subject. Due to the extent and pain from my endo (can't be removed due to where it is), we'll try this IVF cycle, if unsuccessful, we'll NT/NP until either 1. we try a FET attempt depending on if we even have any frozen embies or 2. the pain gets too bad and I have to go back on BCP indefinitely.

I am not really sure for us. We have limits of what medically we are willing to do. We aren't looking to do any medical assistance at all while I am in school, which is the next 2.5 years. We are still naturally trying though and since there isn't anything wrong with either of us, then there is always a chance. I think we might give it a go with MA again once school is out for about a year. If nothing then, I would imagine we would be done. We are not ruling out adoption though and honestly in my heart, I know that is where we will end up. I have always felt deep down that I would never get pregnant.
