She was finally able to have a child naturally a couple of years later. |
We haven't even discussed this with them yet, because I want to do lots of research before even making the decision to offer. She has been pregnant three times. The first time was with the help of fertility drugs and she miscarried at about 10 weeks. The second two were IVF, the last one being two weeks ago...with embryos that were held a little longer in the "test tube" (not a really accurate description, but one most would understand) so the chances were supposed to be alot higher for implantation. They've come a long way with IVF, but it doesn't seem to be doing a thing for her. She had to do all the shots prior to implantation, then some really painful shots after (sorry don't know what they are all called). She went back 10 days after implantation to see if they "stuck". Her HCG levels should have been in the 300's and it was 10. This was such a huge disappointment for her, especially with all her friends and family calling her that day to see if they stuck. She and her husband will make the best parents, and I can't think of anyone who would be any better. They've been thinking about adopting from either the Phillipines (she is Filipino) or Cambodia...both are so expensive and ridden with legal issues. I just feel like I could help them...this good uterus is just sitting here...
