We're starting the vetting process for adoption agencies. We are looking at embryo adoption vs other options. No IVF, and have tried IUI as well as natural remedies. We're still trying of course, but ready to pursue other options. Anyone have advice?

If you haven't tried yet, I highly recommend NFP (Natural Family Planning). It tracks your wife's monthly cycles, finding out when she is at her most fertile and the optimal time for conception. Usually it's a short window, 1-3 days in her whole monthly cycle, so it's important to track to figure out when it happens. I also recommend checking out Wholesome Story vitamins online, they have all kinds of vitamins to increase fertility naturally, and to balance hormones. I take them for hormone balance and they're great! My body feels at its most prime!
You're doing the right thing by avoiding IVF, as it kills countless embryos just to get one to implant. IVF is not what God intended.
Thanks! Will check out the supplements. We have ovulation tracking down pat, including about 3 years of daily temperature recording upon first waking. We use an app to graph and track timing
I dropped the fluoride in my water and finally got pregnant a second time after having issue for a while. I switched entirely to reverse osmosis or distilled water with added minerals and bam - pregnant. Something about the thyroid using fluoride in place of the iodine that should be used but we are all deficient. Thyroid is the boss of all pregnancy related hormones.
That, and prayers. You have mine ❤️
Fluoride is poisonous to the thyroid gland and will displace any iodine that you may be able to ingest. Excellent water solution! Bromine will do that as well.

Nice! We stocked up on NAC. Local store told us their supply is being shuttered by the FDA
Wild. Has your home already been using it as a supplement?
Glad to help, and it's awesome you're already tracking cycles. You're on a good path!
That's my IVF story. :(
You mean you used IVF and many embryos were killed to implant one? If so, I'm sorry. But that's what IVF has always been and in my opinion it is an abuse. I have nothing against you for using it, only against those that created it and push it.
We had a total of 10 embryos, and tried three times to transfer two each time, and out of all the six in total we transferred, only one stuck with us. He's a tremendous blessing. We had four remaining, but I couldn't donate them, because at the time the thought of someone else raising my babies was heartbreaking. So I let them be laid to rest. I've talked to God about it over the years and have been grieved by it. Believe me- it wasn't easy.
My head and heart are in different places now. I hate that it happened that way, but I love my son dearly.
Your son is certainly a blessing, don't get me wrong. I had a best friend who was an IVF baby and she is certainly one-of-a-kind. But I just wish that children weren't treated as commodities or "designer babies" or when random women are used as surrogates for gays or lazy celebrities to make babies for them.
