Well then.
May. 1st, 2013 03:03 pmAfter having the consultation with the fertility clinic, we've basically come to the following conclusions:
* There's nothing wrong with me as far as we can easily tell, aside from me being older and less-fertile than me-of-25, probably. (Follicle count: 7-8, not the 10 preferred.)
* We don't know if there's anything wrong with Mark, because no tests have been done for him.
* The cost of fertility treatments is completely bugfuck insane, and we'd rather spend that kind of money on a child in need than on a roll of the dice for a pregnancy.
We are probably going to discuss this a bit further over the next few days, but most likely we will be applying to an adoption agency or foster agency within the next 3-6 months, while continuing still to try on our own without further medical assistance. If we are lucky enough to have our own children, great. If we don't have biological children, that's fine. There are many kids out there who need mommies and daddies.
I am currently looking at http://www.angelsfoster.org as a likely starting candidate.
