They felt that a couple should up their whole heart into one process as both can be emotionally draining. If a pregnancy occurred before matching the process would be put on hold until the biological child was one. Then the process could be started again. I got pregnant right after placement and our agency was thrilled for us even though things were far from finalized. </p> <p>My husband was the one who wanted to do fertility treatments to really try for a biological child. Our agreement was that I would do it until I wanted to stop. I promised to give it everything I had but when it got to be too much on my body and mind that I could call it quits. If you have just had enough you might be able to say that. I think our husband try so hard to understand but there is just no way for them to truly know what we go through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-continue-fertility-treatment-during-an-adoption-process#post-697548 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 15:14:25 +0000 BSB 697548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: Yeah, I'm afraid of losing that money. </p> <p>Oh, wow, cool! Congrats to hear that she got pregnant with twins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-continue-fertility-treatment-during-an-adoption-process#post-680628 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 14:52:34 +0000 Weagle 680628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: They did lose money. They were using a private agency, so it was quite a bit. She ended up having twins, and they're just a few months old. They already had one child, and they're not sure if they will continue with adoption at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-continue-fertility-treatment-during-an-adoption-process#post-680395 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 11:03:03 +0000 BSB 680395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: Did she lose any money from the adoption process? Did she end up resuming her adoption after her LO was born? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-continue-fertility-treatment-during-an-adoption-process#post-680265 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 07:13:53 +0000 Weagle 680265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A good friend of mine recently did this. The adoption agency suspends any adoption progress after the first trimester if a woman gets pregnant. She actually did end up pregnant, but they weren't matched yet, so it wasn't much of a kerfluffle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-continue-fertility-treatment-during-an-adoption-process#post-680184 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 03:28:50 +0000 BSB 680184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: @emg86:<br /> Thanks! We are a few months from starting the adoption process. I want to move on to adoption but the DH still wants to try a little longer with the IUIs. He is okay with adopting but I guess he wants to try to have biological children. (Prior to TTC, we thought about adopting after we have biological child. Now that we have tried TTC for over a year now, I have moved on to trying adoption next. DH still needs some convincing. I guess he is still on the fertility phase of it.)</p> <p>I thought I could compromise if we did both. Glad I asked you guys. We'll need to talk some more about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-continue-fertility-treatment-during-an-adoption-process#post-680170 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 02:41:37 +0000 emg86 680170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our agency asked that we stop all treatments and had us answer questions in regards to our infertility to make sure adoption wasn't just a second option, like Mrs. Jacks mentioned. 6 months into the process I became pregnant naturally, it was a big surprise for us all and they were completely understanding and have placed our adoption on hold at the moment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-continue-fertility-treatment-during-an-adoption-process#post-680153 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 00:50:32 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 680153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Many agencies recommend that you stop fertility treatments while you are listed with them, though I have seen them be understanding if you get pregnant without intervention while waiting.</p> <p>I think they want to see that you've come to terms with infertility and that you don't think of adoption as a second best kind of option (which I know you don't :)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-continue-fertility-treatment-during-an-adoption-process#post-680150 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 00:45:35 +0000 tequiero21 680150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I did, but wanted to just say good luck! I really hope u get your family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-continue-fertility-treatment-during-an-adoption-process#post-680147 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 00:32:36 +0000 BSB 680147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are thinking about doing this.</p> <p>Although, some agencies say they will cancel a pending match if you get pregnant.</p> <p>Any advice for me? </p>
