Not Pregnant :(


As most of you have probably already heard, the IVF was not successful. :(  I started spotting Sunday night and I knew it was over. I still went in for a beta because you can spot and still be pregnant, but of course it was negative.  It's been a very bitter pill to swallow.  We've shed a lot of tears, gone through every emotion in the book and slowly but surely we are picking ourselves back up and looking toward the future.

For the time being, we are looking into the Texas Foster to Adopt program. We go to our first informational meeting on Saturday morning. We will keep you all posted on what we find out. It won't be a quick process but it will be worth it if we can open our home up to a child or children in need.  Maybe we will get lucky and get a baby that we can eventually adopt and give a forever home.

As for whether we will do IVF again, only time will tell.  We have so many mixed emotions about it.  And even if we did want to jump back into it, we just couldn't make it work financially.  Every bit of savings and money that we had went into that last cycle. The absolute soonest we could financially make it work is six months from now and that is if everything goes just according to plan, which we all know rarely happens.  We haven't given up on trying IVF again, but it's definitely on hold.

So for right now we are going to put our focus on the foster to adopt program, and just enjoy being just the two of us for now.  I do truly enjoy all the time we get to spend together and the freedom we have to just go and do.

Thank you all for your support and prayers!  We have appreciated them!

Dear Staci, I'm so sorry it didn't work out. I know how badly you want this. My heart sank for you when I didn't see anything posted. Something will work out for the best. God has something great in store for you because you're great people. I'm sure there is one or more sweet spirits out there He is waiting to put into your arms. I'm excited for you for when that day comes. In the meantime I'm sorry it's such a struggle to get to that point. I'm glad you have each other to go on the journey together. I look forward to reading all of your updates. I hope you still continue to post on here. I've really enjoyed reading everything and getting to know you better through your blog. Take good care of yourself. Know we love you and care deeply for you. You're always in our prayers.

Staci and Glen, I am so sorry that this wasn't the time for you to have a baby. I can't even imagine the pain and heart ache you have gone through. You have done everything possible at this time. You are both so special to me and to our family. We all want for your happiness. May you find happiness in your love for each other and may your heart's desires be granted some day soon. As Angela has said, "You are always in our prayers!" Love you!!!
