Brad flies in Christmas afternoon. I am not sure if we'll open gifts that night or the next day. Any ideas? My boys are the most patient of souls, but I want Brad to be there. He only gets to stay until Sunday. Wish it were longer, but I'll take what I can get!

Oh goodness Melisa! Not long at all!! I'd say open gifts the next day. There is something exciting about waking up to gifts! The kids don't have to know that Christmas is on the 25th and not the 26th :) We ran into a bit of a pickle with prices, so we are taking the train to MI. We leave Rochester 11pm Christmas Eve, and arrive 10am Christmas day! We are just pretending the 27th is Christmas eve, and the 28th Christmas day! We have to do all our shopping in MI, so we are going to hit the sales! Luckily MM is too young to know the difference :)

Jenny, what a great way to save on Christmas!

We're heading down to Williamsburg, VA to spend Christmas Eve & Day with Richard's youngest sister, then continuing on to Charlotte, NC, where another sister & her family live. It will be a LOT of time in the car. A LOT of time. Hope we're up for it!

We are celebrating our first Christmas with our two new children. I wonder if they know what's really going on!

On the infertility front, I haven't had a period since the beginning of Oct. I've been trying not to think about the negative pg tests I've been taking, and have decided that I'll take a test on Christmas morning. If I'm pg - that'd be a great Christmas present. If I'm not - there should be enough going on that I'll be okay. I'll keep you posted! Best of luck to you all this baby-making month! :o)

The Next Step

By Dirk and Trish -
After my laparoscopy in June for endo, the dr. gave us 3 months to get pregnant. Well, 3 months is up, so today we met with the specialist to decide what to do next. We were given three choices (I know many of you have been there, just wanted to give some info for newbies). Option 1 is clomid and IUI (~$650/cycle), Option 2 gonadotropins (I think it was $3000-5000/cycle), Option 3 IVF (~$14,000/cycle). The dr. recommended, and we had previously discussed, option 1. The prices are just what I was told, so they probably are not standard. I just find it helpful to have some idea what I'm up against, so thought I'd include it in case it gives someone else a baseline to work from.We missed out on timing for this cycle, so we actually have 1 more try at the old fashioned method, then we start clomid next month. Apparently the chances of a procedure working are best in the first 3 months, so we're really hoping this next step is it.

My next approach

I thought I'd share a couple of things I'm going to try next. I wish I was posting this because I had been successful with one of them, but some of them state they take up to 3 mos. so I don't want to wait until then to tell you about it, in case one of you wants to try one of these things sooner, with me! These are some things I've been researching, and gathering info about, because they are less drastic than some of the medical approaches. Other things I like about them is that they are geared towards becoming healthier-so even if you don't get pregnant, you're not out anything, and you may have gained some other benefit, like eating better. Last but not least, though there is some expense involved, I think it will still be cheaper than some of the diagnostic testing and procedures. Here are some of the things I am thinking about trying... A fertility diet: I learned about this from a co-worker. She used fertility for her first child, and it didn't work th...
