Hey everyone, yea, AF arrived again. Not to go on about the infertility woes, but I am thinking of starting to investigate some HT stuff now. I just have this weird feeling like I should start considering it and how to pay for it, even if we need to save up for a year or so, use our tax return, borrow from family, and get a line of credit. YAY. With AF coming in full force today, I just feel crappy about it all again and don't know how we'll get over it if we never have a baby. And if we can't afford the IVF, I am thinking of trying a round or two of IUI, and then going with donor sperm. I had a dream last night that I secretly got donor sperm and had an IUI done on my ov day without DH knowing, and got pg and he thought it was his. I am, um, mildly disturbed with my unconscious psyche, to say the least.

ANYWAY, sorry you got AF Light.

Flava, glad to hear you have another try ahead of you!

Jen, SUPER cute costumes and family, love it! Halloween is my favorite holiday!!!

Iluv, good to hear from you again, and congrats on your baby girl!!!! You are so right in keeping perspective on what is important. I will be praying and KFX that your placenta moves on over to a better position. Keep in touch!

Hope everyone else is doing well. XXOO

Lola - I think thats a great plan, start saving money and try to figure it out. Who knows maybe you'll get preg while saving and have a bunch of money for baby stuff If you go sperm donor will you go anonymous or with someone you know? Don't worry about your dream, I think we've all been terrible people from time to time.

Thanks! I'm not real big on Halloween but the kids love it so I play along lol

I'd go anonymous, but DH isn't having any of that currently. We decided we would try naturally for another year and then evaluate how we feel about our situation at that point. I joined an infertility site also so I can get more info about this stuff since there aren't really many suffering from IF here. I was told I could try to do IUI with a bunch of my DH's samples and have him go give and freeze one every 3 days and put maybe 10 together and see what comes up post-wash (they wash the sperm I guess) and use that. But most ladies with my DH's count have gone IVF, so I am freaking out a bit thinking that it will end up being our only option unless we do IUI with donor sperm. It kinda boils down to what you can do....pay $25,000 for your own genetic kid or pay $2,000 for a half-genetic kid. And $25,000 is a LOT of money to us, like I said before, life-changing debt to take on.

I pray that it moves for you!!!! xxxxxx So have you chosen a name yet?

I think we've decided on Carrigan for the 1st name but not sure about the middle name yet.

Congrats on your baby girl!

Kris were you finding out too? Looks like you changed your ticker to blue instead of green. Does the mean boy?

I'm glad to hear you are looking into high tech Lola!

[Flava]

Lola -im sorry for the bfn...I can understand your DH of course he want a biological child because he do not have any.
But you do have to so it is easier for you to go with a donor. I thought you want another baby so your DH will have a bio baby too.
I hope at least the IUI would work out!! The IVF is just so much money omg!
And don't worry about crazy dreams we all have some. I just had a dream last night I had a baby at home and it was a c/s but here in the living room! And i saw the baby was very cute looked like DD4 and of course it was a girl. That's not enough MIL walked in to she came visit us! omg...
This was already my second girl dream...Im thinking it's a sign I should stop because I get another girl for sure.

[Flava]

I think we've decided on Carrigan for the 1st name but not sure about the middle name yet.

Uhh I think it such a pretty name!!
Kris had green ticker? I don't remember...i think she sad her scan is next monday.

[iluvmyman]

Flava, I just sent you a pm. I think her's was green which was the same color I had on mine but I could be wrong.

It's not a common name but more popular now because it's a character in StarCraft online game he plays. Dwight from The Office dressed up as her on the halloween special. At least this name shouldn't cause all the ridiculous family drama. I like Elise for a middle name cuz I think Carrigan needs some femininity. DH isn't sold on that though but he's basically picked the name for every child except DS1 so Im sure I can choose if I really want a particular middle name.
