New to adoption

We live in NYC, have been struggling with TTC and really just want to start a family. Are there others here from the northeast US or really anywhere in the US who can give tips, recommendations for agencies, etc. ?

Hi Andrea, I'm sorry to hear about your journey but can definitely sympathize. My husband and I adopted our daughter 18 months ago (from NYC) with the assistance of an adoption consultant. She guided us through the process of putting together our profile book and selecting agencies across the US.

Her name is Nicole Witt with The Adoption Consultancy. We're using her to adopt our 2nd. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions.

Hi Andrea, I’m using a consultant too - please feel free to PM me if you want my recommendations - I’ve got 2 :)

How long did it take you guys to complete the adoption process?

Can someone help me? Please read 😭💔

I'm looking for someone to help me decifer some awful news that I received from the Dr's. I had a fit test that came back positive for blood in my poo. It was 15

They wanted a repeat test and it came back four times higher than the previous result last week, it's now 61.

I have a horrible feeling I know what the cause is. I've experienced a lot of weight loss and vomiting these past few months. I've got an urgent appointment with my Dr next week but I can't wait that long. Can someone eitheir be honest with me (I know there's lots of medical professionals on here, myself included) or reassure me. I'm in peices rn 😭💔

I’m so confused! Please help

Yes I am delulu but I can see a very faint line in all of these tests apart from the bottom one. But these were taken between 8-11dpo & no change. I think I’m probably not pregnant but why are they positive?! All lines were apparent within the timeframe.
I had a mmc in January & have had one period since.
Please help!

Lh

When do you think I will ovulate? Have I missed my peak? So confused 😕 my highest reading was this morning but still classed as 'low' on premom. Any advice please? X

Period…

My period returned about 3 months ago but it’s so unpredictable😭 My tracker app says 5 days late… but yesterday and today I’ve had ovulation pain/aching and lots of clear discharge (TMI sorry!)
I don’t want to be buying a pregnancy test every month🤣🤣
I’m breastfeeding, so it makes sense that my hormones are just all over the place…
Just seems weird to be ovulating now!!

Pcos secondary infertility?

Hi ladies, I have pcos and after a year of trying we did two round of Letro and got pregnant. Per the pre sticks ( which ik aren’t always accurate for pcos but have gotten progesterone checked at day 21 and have been around 10 before Letro and like 18 after Letro) I have always ovulated.

I’m on my third round of Letro and it’s day 25 and still no ovulation. I’m kind of just spiraling that I am extra broken now and will never be able to get pregnant again. Anyone else go through this? 😭

Positive?

The line came up straight away, is it a positive or an evap or am I just seeing things ?
