Just wait three more months..
That's what the doctor said. HAH!
She is reluctant to start treatment because it is so stressful, and doesn't want to label me, *infertile*, seemingly because of some strange self-fulfilling prophecy. (prophecy might only be the case if we were talking about treatment before the 4 miscarriages and 3 years of infertility)
It's been just under 3 years since our first missed miscarriage at 7 weeks 2 days. 3 more miscarriages later and she doesn't want to start treatment yet because of some stupid label and some stress? Doesn't she realize I've already overcome that amount of stress before? That some stupid infertility treatments are going to stress me out unlike 3 years and 4 miscarriages would? And like a label is going to change anything? (unless it happens to come with a cure!)
Ugh.
So anyway, we wait. Baron gets to do his part towards this IF testing in a month and a half! fun fun. finally he gets experience some of this poking and prodding (even if it is in just a psychological way) soon. Sometimes it seems so unfair that we women have to deal with the brunt of the physical strain that infertility testing and treatment consists of.
Stay tuned.

A blog that has turned it's focus from the pain of infertility to the journey of foster care (though we never got a single call!) to the joy of adoption! We are currently in the process of adopting three amazing and beautiful children. Come join us on our journey!

Interesting choice by your DR. Makes ya go Hum.. I you arent happy with the Dr's suggestions, yu ca eihter counter offer to her or I am sure you can get a second opinion.
Is your doctor an Ob/Gyn or RE? Most Ob's tend to be conservative about infertility treatments and options. I wouldn't think an RE would try to convince you to wait 3 months. It seems you've been through enough after 3 years and miscarriages. I suggest looking for another doctor who is more serious about helping you become a mom.
I recommend going to another dr...honestly. They do not all feel that way. There is a great dr. at Presbyterian hospital in Plano named Dr. Rodriquez. He would not tell you to wait. On the other hand- please think about the message you are sending to an adopted child as you also pursue a pregnancy...that somehow they are the product of what happens when all else fails? You need to come to the conclusion that either God has you going through this because He desires your family to come through adoption and stop the money trap and emotional suicide that is the fertility medical field OR stop trying to adopt and work towards getting pregnant. If you have not resolved the issue that God does not need fertility treatments to get us pregnant and carry a baby to full term, I think you would be best served in an infertility support group and/or counseling to work on your grief before you ever bring an adopted child home. I've been there and I know the pain of struggling so hard for something you cannot attain on your own. And I am now living the outcome of submitting to God's gentle leading in my life. I have two kids of my own because I listened and obeyed, and they didn't come out of my body.
