We're going to try a fresh cycle in September. Staying with the same dr and going to give him one more shot. In the mean time I'm going to do a "fertility cleanse" and try taking a bunch of other supplements to help egg quality. Who knows if it will work but I figure it can't hurt. I'm also going to work on getting my BMI back down a bit. This whole process has lead me to gain 15lbs. So, at least we have a plan. If it works, I'll be 40 by the time I finally become a mom but that will just have to be...
This will be our 4th cycle if you count the one fresh and two frozen cycles. After that, we'll seriously look into adoption if needed.
I feel much better having a plan.

Great idea! A plan always helps:-)
I fully support whatever decision you make. You have to do what works for you. It couldn't hurt to explore adoption already anyway; Robert said it took 6 years (they requested a baby boy between the ages of newborn-18 months) for his parents to get him. I am both moved and kind of saddened by that; sure, everyone wants a baby, but a baby won't remember not having parents as a newborn. An older child would be challenging perhaps, but still so rewarding. I always root for the underdog. :) (And who knows- if you proceeded with adoption, you just may tempt fate by becoming one of those families who find out they're pregnant while they're adopting. Win-win.
6 years!!!!!! wow. Something to consider for sure.
Yes!!! That's what I thought too!!! I don't know if they had an ethnic preference (!!!) or not. I'm thinking not. But for sure, I think the fewer conditions/restrictions/preferences the better, i.e. likelihood of being chosen.
His parents had been married about 10 years already (10 years of trying unassisted) before they pursued adoption. Then had to wait 6 years more until they got a baby. That's a long time to wait. :(
