The Master Plan

DH was home this weekend, so we had time to discuss big life things. We made a Master Plan:

Western medicine: When my period starts, I will schedule my hysteroscopy to remove the endometrial polyp. Afterwards, I will try to find a holistic gyn or (even better) holistic fertility specialist with whom I feel comfortable.  My RE sucks.

TTC/Alternative Treatments:  After my hysteroscopy, I will continue all of my mainstream and alternative treatments. We will continue to track ovulation and "actively" TTC until January. If I'm not pregnant by January, I will probably go back to eating and living the way I did before. I'll keep up the Centering Prayer, because it keeps me sane.

Adoption:
        -Finances: We will put $xxxx/month towards paying off debt (DH was unemployed for a long time). As soon as our debt is paid off, we will put that amount into savings for adoption. At this rate, we should have enough saved by January.

       -For now, we have pretty much decided to forego trying to adopt from [country of origin]. The program is closed, the procedure is uncertain. There are too many risks involved.

       -We have decided to pursue domestic adoption of an infant of color. We will investigate agencies and make a choice by January.

       -After the holidays, DH's job will end. In January, we will start getting together paperwork, etc. for domestic adoption.

As for me, I'm swinging between enthusiasm for adopting and despair that I'll never bear a child. All part of the roller-coaster, I suppose.
