After four cycles on Clomid, my levels hadn't gone above 1.2. So, after much discussion, my husband and I had decided to press forward with adoption and take a break from the Clomid.
We went to an informational meeting a few weeks ago and turned in our background check information. No surprise, it came back clean. We went on July 1st to do our FBI finger printing and have our first home study on July 15th. Once we complete the home visit, we have to complete 9 weeks of classes, get first aid/CPR certified (even though I'm a nurse, I still have to do it), and then complete a final home study. Once everything is done, we get added to the registry, and if any kids match what we are looking for we get a call, to meet the kid.
On Monday I had my level drawn again. I emailed my doctor's nurse that unless my levels significantly increased we would be taking a break. She gave me the number to an infertility specialist in Little Rock. I got the my lab results today. To our surprise it was 16.4!
Ahhh! A glimpse of hope! I immediately called my doctor to tell them we wanted to try one more round.
All I can say is that I needed this. I needed a glimpse of hope. I needed to know it hasn't all been for nothing. Please keep us in your prayers as we push forward with both the Clomid and the adoption process!
