Hi! I havent been on here for awhile because Ive been in my own little world.. basically what is going on with us is when they did my husbands semen analysis, his morphology was incerdibly low. He had alot of white cells so they gave him antibiotics and had him retested this past week. Again, morphology incredibly low. Our insurance does not cover ANY part of IVF and for us it would be about a 15,000 dollar procedure because they would have to do an ICKSIE (dont know if I spelled that right)..so anyhow, the Dr. said hes seen people get pregnant through an IUI even with this low morphology..so we are going to try that..I guess they will wash his sperm and take out the good ones?? Not sure exact;y..but thats where we are at..Im nervous...if this sodesnt work..Iour next step will be adoption..and I am excited about that too...I just need some peace of mind....so if you pray..PLease keep us in your thoughts...we , like most of us on here..feel like we are on a roller coaster ride!

You're in my thoguths and prayers. This may not be what ou want o hear, but maybe adoption is part of the plan and what yu're supposed to do. I was adopted, and it's really great because my mom and I are best friends, and we ever look alike, and we just know she was 'meant' to adopt me. Best of luck with either path, just know that either one can be wonderful!

Re: Prayers ..PLEASE!!!

your in my prayers i wish both the best. but i think its amazing that you are willing to adopt. so many people i know are against i think the next best thing to bringing your own life into the world is loving and caring for an adopted child giving them the loving caring home that all children deserve

Gosh...THANK YOU to everyone!!! I hadnt been on here aqnd am just redaing all of your beautiful and thoughtful posts!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just spent the weekend at an adoption conference inNYC at ST, John's University..ironically enough I volunteered to help last april, before I even thought I would be adopting! I volunteered to help out..but anyhow..it was amazing! I learned alot, about adoptees, about birth parents and about adoptive parents. I know that if God thinks I'll be a great adoptive parent..then bring it on!!! I will love adopting!! At the same time, I learned that it's ok to be sad about not being able to conceive..and I'll get through it if that's what is planned for me. We will know alot more about the IUI this week and what's in store for us! Meanwhile...I cant thank you all enough for your hugs and support!!!! I mean it...it was such a good feeling to come on here and read your posts!!! truly made my day!!!!!
