The title pretty much sums up what's going on in my head right now! Confused, disappointed, lonely & so much more I cannot even describe.
Confused with my decisions/thought process. Am I crazy to be talking adoption this early on?
I tell myself that we still have so many options left in our infertility treatment journey. But why spend so much time on that when we can adopt?

Heartache and Headache
So, here we are 14 days past ovulation (dpo) and nothing to show for it.. Stopped my progesterone suppositories 2 nights ago so just waiting on good ol' mother nature aka Big Bertha to arrive!
In the meantime, we have realized (after extensive talking, crying, and praying) I believe we have came to the conclusion that we want a family sooner rather than later. We want a family no matter how we come together.
I am adopted. I have always, always said adoption was what I wanted do to I think more so then because I wouldn't have to go through labor pains! (teenage dreaming 😉) however, I wanted to adopt because I was adopted. Because I was given a new and better life due to that. I want to give that to a baby as well.
So we decided to start gathering all of our information. Called a few places and requested information. Spoke to our office manager and she is going to speak with my boss to see if he considers adoption the same as maternity leave.
In the meantime, Monday is D-day for the hubby! Semen Analysis (most embarrassing thing for a guy on earth, I am 100% sure). Yet, he is being the ultimate trooper and is going to give his specimen in the collection room at the clinic instead of making his poor wife hold the cup in her boob cleavage. Yes, you heard that right! As our fertility dr was telling us his it worked, he said if we collect at home, I have to carry it in my breasts.
I thought he was joking. He wasn't.
Apparently that's even warmer than holding it between your legs. But e is being the ultimate husband and giving his sample there, avoiding me from awkwardness and embarrassment!. As if an internal, trans-vag ultrasound at every appointment, inserting suppositories in my vagina each night and taking meds that make me feel insane, isn't enough. 😉
So, our world is completely open! So many possibilities to explore and I cannot wait to have a baby to hold in my arms! Track the cat can only fill the void for so long!
Adios! ❤Danielle

Been MIA...
So it's been a while since I posted. I obviously didn't get pregnant from month one of Femara. I did however, have an egg on cycle day 10! I was super pumped! We have since done month 2 of Femara and just so happened to be ovulating while we were at the beach! We are 4 days past ovulation and have been super relaxed and in sync! Let's home that's the recipe for a cute, successful baby Moore! ;) here's our myrtle beach recap! Until next time 😃
