Our journey has changed course. We are being given 14 embryos by a donor couple.
Yes, you read that right.
And, yes, I am still in shock.
We have been to see my old RE, and I've had a check up and I am good to go.
We are currently working on transferring the legal possession of the embryos into our care.
I hope to have my first FET cycle in the next month or two.
I am SO excited, there are no words.
We are so touched by the generosity and thoughtfulness of the donors.
And, yes, I do keep pinching myself. This is beyond a dream come true.

neglect
Well, thanks to Hua for the kick in the ass ;) I'd totally forgotten about this blog.
So the update on my foot . . . original diagnosis was INCORRECT, I have a fractured heel, and have had since October 2008. I have been in a cast now since October 2009. Which means no exercise, which means I've gained back 7 of the 20 lbs. I lost last year.
I can only lose weight if I exercise (due to the PCOS).
Nothing new to report on the adoption front. The whole thing just pisses me off. Our social worker basically told us to go someplace else, even thought they are supposed to work for us for three years.
Work sucks. They are taking more health insurance stuff away from us and charging us more.
I have a plan.
And EVERYONE keeps asking "why don't you just adopt from Haiti?" hello? people? educate thyself! The kids in Haiti may have living relatives, if so that's who they belong with, and it could take ages to find that out. So those children in Haiti may not be available for adoption for YEARS. Adoption is not like getting a puppy at the pound! These are HUMANS we are talking about.
Ok, done ranting and raving.
Still hoping I'll magically get pregnant, but with 45 looming large, I fear my chance is slim to none. Or maybe someone will leave a baby in a basket on our front steps . . .

I have a plan.
- get foot healed
- get a new job
- move if necessary for new job
- adopt!
