Sounds like you have thought everything through very thoroughly. What does your gut say?Thaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125639207843989848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9059464.post-37498486699030649122010-06-11T08:24:36.299-07:002010-06-11T08:24:36.299-07:00Ugh. This is so tough.
I don't really have ...Ugh. This is so tough. <br /><br />I don't really have any advice. I have done a bit of research on international adoption and antidepressants. Whether or not this is "okay" (so annoying) depends so much on the agency and country. I don't know what countries you were considering, but I know Ethiopia is pretty okay with it, Korea depends on the agency, and China and Russia are not. I think the idea of an adoption consultant sounds really good. There's so much to figure out and navigate.<br /><br />I also think the FET with you and the intralipids is worth a shot. <br /><br />Trying to figure out these options has got to be so hard. Good luck sifting through them. Hang in there :)marahttp://barfingrainbowsandunicorns.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9059464.post-12250005387181588202010-06-10T17:41:26.338-07:002010-06-10T17:41:26.338-07:00Wow is right! We're muddling through our own ...Wow is right! We're muddling through our own "what to do next," so my opinion probably shouldn't count! If you have enough embryos for more than 1 FET, at least it would cost you the least dollars. I'm assuming you have done an immunology panel for recurrent pregnancy loss. If not, I see Dr. Cou.lam in Ev.anston, IL for RPL, and she is the one who discovered that intralipids suppress natural killer cell activity. My infusions at her office are $600 each. I have heard that some home health agencies will do it for you though if you can get a doc to write the script. Just a thought as I have not been able to try the intralipids to keep a pregnancy going since our last IVF was a bust embryo quality wise.<br /><br />It would be so nice if you could find a known g/c. If this is your answer, I hope someone steps forward soon. We thought that would be our next step until we started to make crappy embryos on top of dealing with RPL.<br /><br />As for adoption, SCARES the pooh out of me! How people can be so heartless, I don't know. I am so sorry you have been burned. We also don't think we would be ideal candidates with DH's diabetes and sarcoidosis. We get up and go to work every day but could be seen as unfit parents. Go figure.<br /><br />Sorry I'm not the one to give you THE answer, but I totally feel for you.

How can you make a hard choice when everything has been so hard for so long already?<br /><br />I met an adoption consultant at resolve conference up here and interviewed her for my blog last spring. If Mr S and I ever take the plunge, we will hire her absolutely. She seems to have a knack for helping to navigate you to the right agency and the right situation. Let me know if you have an interest in her, and I will email it, though I understand that trying adoption again may be the very last thing you'd ever want to try again.MrsSpockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792687516201324640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9059464.post-47959062236214483942010-06-10T06:50:16.245-07:002010-06-10T06:50:16.245-07:00Rebecca

I can hardly wrap my head around all ...Wow Rebecca. I can hardly wrap my head around all the decisions you have to make...all the choices...none of them easy.<br />Maybe the one I can speak the most about is the medical clearance for international adoption--with our agency and country our doctor just had to write a letter saying we were healthy. It didn't have to be detailed. I know different agencies require different levels of details but in the end, our dossier was approved without a lot more detail than a statement that we were in excellent health. And your husband having a defibrillator is what they should want to see--to protect him from a fatal heart rhythm. DUH. It makes him healthier to have it.<br />At any rate, email me if you have any questions even though our experience is limited and narrow...<br /><br />And I found your blog a really long time ago (I think right about the time R was being diagnosed with Brugadas) and I will never forget the words in your header "three spectacularly failed attempts" regarding domestic adoption and honestly it is one of the reasons we just never even considered domestic adoption.<br /><br />I wish I had a money tree...I hate that money comes into play on this stuff.lastchanceivfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139576318784337837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9059464.post-41152608356991035262010-06-10T02:08:54.337-07:002010-06-10T02:08:54.337-07:00wow, it's been a rough road for you.
