Happy Friday!!! It’s time for a Baby Making Update!
Before my Single Mother By Choice Q & A collaboration videos, on my last true baby making update, I told you guys I had some good news. The endocrinologist gave me the good news that my thyroid numbers were back in check and she was OK with me trying to conceive again. After that I met with the RE (fertility doctor) who also gave me the OK to proceed. It’s official I can try for baby once again!!!! But, before I can start analyzing my temperatures and taking meds, before I ovulate, I have to make a decision. So what’s the plan going to be, IUI or IVF? Who would have thought that creating the life I want for myself would involve so much medical intervention.
Check out my video below to see what I decided and why. If you have trouble with the embedded video click here >> IUI or IVF <<.
Did I pick the one you thought??? How far are you willing to go to create the life you want?

God is able to do great things in your life! Congrats and continue to trust Him.
Great news that you were given the green light. I didn't know anything about IUI. You learn something new everyday. Wishing you all the best on this journey!
Talk about chasing joy for you! I'm sure that you will make the right decision for your family
This is such a courageous path and you have such an open heart about it. I found myself imagining you and your little someone being a happy loving family as I read and watched the video. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I love how open you are through this journey. Best of luck on everything your future holds
Congrats on the go ahead to try for a little one. I wish you the best in this.
I can't wait to hear more updates! What a journey!
Good luck. You have a lot more blessings coming your way.
Praying that you are blessed with a healthy pregnancy. It is a touch journey, but you will do this!! Thanks for sharing and how exciting that you've been given the green light to try again.
Glad you got the okay to proceed. Honestly, I don't know much about the different options, but wish you lots of luck! 🙂
I'm cheering you on from over here too. This is always such an exciting time in life.
I am so glad not to be faced with such a hard decision. I wish you the best of luck.
I am unable to have kids and I have decided at my age that I would not do fertility treatments. I applaud you for the choices you are making.
What a journey. Its always been easy for me to get pregnant (hello 6 kiddos) but we recently decided for #7 and it took much longer than expected, then ended in a miscarriage in July. We were talking IUI a few weeks after the miscarriage because we both wanted *just one more* and we feared the worst. I would rather IVF, but if you aren't a candidate for that right now, then I'd be going for IUI too. I'm very hopeful for you and know you will be such a great mom! – Jeanine
I really hope you do conceive. I'm no mother, but children are a blessing.
I can not imagine how challenging this might be. Glad you have options and wishing you well.
Wishing you the best of luck on your journey to conceive! You've got this ;-).
I can't imagine having to make such a hard decision. I am truly thankful that I was able to give her life twice without any issues. I think we as women sometimes take that for granted. All the best to you on your journey.
Best of luck to you! I am glad you are getting the green light to conceive!
I am happy that you are working towards making the life that you want.
I'm glad you were able to make this choice and start the next stretch of your journey! You're going to be a great mom!
Happy for you. Over here rooting for you.
Glad that this is working for you! Hope you conceive soon!
I went through IVF twice… ufda… all that stuff is hard on body. I am rooting for you and hoping this cycle is the magic one!
If it's truly the life you want then you'll do whatever it takes to get it. If you aren't willing to do the hard stuff then you have to check yourself and make sure it's really what you want.
I am glad there are options for you. I can not imagine what it would be like to go through this. You are strong.
Glad you got your thyroid back in check! That can cause problems for anyone, much less someone trying to conceive! it's such a pesky organ.
My friend is going to be starting IVF treatments! I love seeing people want to give LIFE to babies!
I'm glad you've got the green light for trying to conceive! I think you're going to be a great mom one day.
I am sure it's a tough decision. You are going to be a great mom someday.
