Sorry I've been neglecting my blog lately. There really hasn't been much to post about! I had a little melt down when I wrote my last post. The Yukon needed work, but it was taken care of. I ended up not starting to sell any of my fabric and cloth diaper making stuff, mostly because I'm too lazy. I didn't use OPKs this cycle, so not exactly sure when/if I O'd. I got my hopes up again the middle to end of last week since my cycle was a few days longer than the last two.
AF showed up Saturday morning. I was fine with it. I guess I knew she was coming.
In regards to my title question: Am I the only one that can't afford reproductive treatment OR adoption?? I feel like all the boards I go on, and all the people I know in real life dealing with infertility have either continued with treatment or are now starting the adoption process. We can't afford either one! I've been doing acupuncture for awhile now...I think this will be my fourth cycle now. I'm just not sure how much longer I want to continue even that. When are you ready to say enough is enough?? I'm not saying I don't want kids, I just don't know how it would be possible.
In other news, I had a wonderful glass of wine last night! The first in a long time! It was sooo good. I think I'm gonna start having a glass on a more regular basis.

splurge with the wine...i had right before we conceived!
you deserve it!
AND you're always in my thoughts...i know it will happen for you!
We tried for three and a half years before moving on to IVF. And even now, we're only able to do that because we literally WON a free cycle from a clinic in California celebrating their 20th anniversary.
I totally and completely understand how you feel. There was a group of about 30 or 40 women who all "defected" from FF together to a private infertility board. Of that group, there is only about 10 of us left not pregnant - mostly because we can't afford fertility treatments.
Since we won our free cycle, I've done some research and found out about two or three clinical research trials that are going on. You might qualify for one or more of them and if you do, most of the cycle would be paid for by them. Email me if you're interested and I can pass along the links.
