Hi, Im an Indian too and I understand how you feel. You've hardly just begun. Just 2 IVFs !! Just go for it, You are young and Im sure it will work out for you. Dont worry.
Im 38 with every concievable infertility problem that there is. Every cycle, they discover something new.
Everybody here talks about adoption. Its really a difficult decision. It depends upon you. I feel adoption may not be for me. I may sound cruel callous, but I know my shortcomings. Im no Mother Teresa.
Its not that easy to get healthy and beautiful babies in India where healthcare and one square meal a day is not available to the poorest of the poor. Where the kind of people who give up children for adoption are so poor and malnourished...that Nobody here can ever understand. They look at the world from their own cozy world. No offence to anybody, just a difference in exposure.
I had a friend who adopted from India and she was barely given a choice by the adoption agency. She was told we have a healthy baby(healthy according to the agency...) for you... take it or leave it. One one hand I agree its not a shopping trip, on the other, I feel I want to know a lot more before I can adopt.
