January 05 Where's Everyone At (TTC/Adopt Version)

[SuperEeyore]

What part of your cycle are you in? Or what stage in planning for the
adoption are you in?

What are you feeling about this cycle/month?

What would you change with your magic wand about ttc or adopting?

Any special treatments to help you conceive? Any special plans or strategies
in your adoption plans?

What's your obsession for the moment? (eg pregnancy signs, temp shifts,
mucus texture, as many pee sticks as you can get a hold of? Or paperwork,
homestudies, buying the necessary supplies?)

Hugs and baby dust!

I'm at the start of a new cycle. The "messy" part.

Normally, I would think it's much too early for me to feel any way
about it except maybe calm and hopeful... But, I'm feeling pretty
negative. My doctor seems to think that I'm going to have a lot of
trouble which isn't making me feel as happy about ttc as I'd like.

I'd change my body so that it was perfectly normal.

Well, on Thursday I go for an ultrasound to see what we can see. After
that I think I'm going to be going down the road of more doctors and
more intervention. My insurance isn't keen on covering most of it so
I'm not sure what we'll actually be able to do.

My obsession right now is wanting to get all this done so I can see
where we're at. My doctor thinks I have endo and a few other problems,
but the person I ended up seeing to be evaluated ignored everything I
said and responded over and over again that I shouldn't worry about it
right now because I'm young. I was hoping I could get the lap
scheduled so we could get things going, but my "age" prevented that. I
have to wait for the ultrasound and then I have to make an appointment
to see a different doctor. That's my obsession right now. I'm also
obsessed with all those other things. I know when I'm ovulating by CM.
My temperature confirms it each time. Last cycle I also used opks
because I found a box on sale for half price. This cycle I'll be using
the saliva testing scope thing. I found one on sale at target for
fifteen bucks and didn't think I had anything to lose!

Thanks. I'm hoping we get our miracle.
