I saw this image today and it made me smile. Last week we sent off our expression of interest to commence adoption and within a week the process has begun. I may never be able to bear my own child but agree that adoption is the new pregnancy. I am nervous, scared and excited all in one go especially to be able to provide a home to a child or 2 who have not had the greatest start in life

Unfortunately the process is on hold, we cannot go any further due to pending surgery for Endometriosis, then we have to wait a further 6 months minimum to start all over again. Endo strikes again not only with infertility but also on adoption. Gutted and angry 😦

Ahh I’m so sorry. I know how that is, though. My doc thinks that my endo would be less severe/maybe even cured if I can get pregnant, and I have been chomping at the bit to get going! But I have to come off all my meds and stuff slowly and it is driving me CRAZY. (probably all the changing hormone doses and stuff doesn’t help much either.) 😉 Well, as my husband tells me, no matter the wait, at the end we get a baby, and we won’t ever think about the wait again.
…It doesn’t make me feel much better, but it’s something. I hope you’re alright, dear.

I am okay, its just another hurdle for me to get over. I hope everything works out for you both and coming off your meds and everything gets easier.I can imagine how scary it will be. I would be petrified to have a period knowing how excrutating the pain is for me. Good Luck and fingers crossed you get pregnant soon x
