WOOHOO!!! Got an email that they've received our adoption application and will be contacting us in a few weeks for the orientation session!! It's happening!
I just had a good epiphany this morning....if my beta is bad tomorrow, then I am only 2 weeks away from doing another IUI procedure. So that is not too far away at all. DH might be OOT for it, but my RE said she is ok with freezing. So I think we are going to freeze some next week (I am guessing 2 times since we might do back to back IUIs) just in case.
We froze H's sperm for the same reason. It will all depend on his sperm count, but we were able to get enough sperm for several cycles (IUIs or IVF) from one sample. It was pricey but worth it for the peace of mind...although we haven't actually had to use it yet.

Awesome!! So excited for you guys!
Forgive me asking, I've been a bit out of the loop lately - are you guys still hoping to move forward with another IVF this spring/summer? Or focusing only on adoption now?

How much did it cost if you don't mind sharing? As long as it is <$1k I will do it.

It was less than $1k...I think around $800 for processing the sample and one year storage fees.
I'm triggering tonight, ahhh!!! I'm so nervous we're going to mess it up. Please tell me its no big deal.
I'm really glad transfer is Saturday vs. Sunday so I have more recovery time.
Awesome!!!! Which trigger shot is yours? SubQ or IM? Mine have been IM and ending up being ok. I did it in my thigh myself (choice of thigh or butt/upper hip)

IM, which is why I'm a little nervous. All my shots so far have been SubQ. I was told to do butt/upper hip. I'm not sure if I want DH to do, or if I should do myself.

I would have DH do it since it will be a little hard to reach yourself. Probably google it, but my mom ( a nurse) told me that you need to find your hip bone and then go over an inch or so? I can't rememeber how much but it was to avoid hitting a nerve.
The IM needle is more scary than the subQ, but just make sure to switch needles after mixing. Mine hurt just a little (quick prick) but the meds themselves didn't hurt (unlike menopur that stung).

janegold, we've decided to not do another IVF. Both of us have low confidence that it'll work, and I'm tired of putting my body through all the ups and downs, and hormones. We had initially considered embryo adoption, but have decided that we'll just focus on infant adoption to grow our family. I'm really excited!

I hear you. It's emotionally and physically exhausting, that's for sure. I think it's awesome you guys have decided on a path forward, congrats!!
Yay, scm1011! I am so stinking excited for you. FWIW, I'm doing my own PIO IM this week, and it's been a non-issue. I thought it would be harder to do than it's proved to be.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.

No update today; I think they don't want to disturb them to check. I assume if it goes bad, they'd call me early Friday to cancel.
