Why we are trying IVF

As many of you know, Eric and I are about to embark on our first attempt at IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization). After going through every possible emotion and changing my mind countless times, I decided that this is something that I need to try. Otherwise, I will always wonder if it would have worked had I given it a try.


I have gotten some comments from people wondering "Why now?" "Why didn't you try this before adopting?" I guess there's not really an easy answer for that. I think that we were let to adoption by a higher power and I thank God every day that we made that choice and have Aidan in our lives. At the time, we were tired of the fertility rollercoaster, but were sooooo ready to be parents. This time around, Adoption was once again on our minds. However, that little nagging voice that told me the first time that we were done with fertility treatments was now telling me that this time was different.


All I know is that our ultimate goal is for Aidan to have a baby brother or sister, and we are open to what life wants to bring our way.
