Infertility
Quote From: libra22aliI completely understand what you are going through I was diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease and Endometriosis. I have had numerous laporoscopies and a laporatomy to remove scar tissue from the endometriosis. I've also tried the clomid, tried other shots to help me ovulate and nothing. Absolutely nothing. I've taken tons of medicine and tons of shots and nothing has helped. I was told I have less than 10% of IVF working because I don't ovulate. I don't even have any health coverage that covers infertility treatment. I've been fighting doctors for years who want me to have a hysterectomy but I keep hoping for a miracle. I so understand what you're going through. I have gained so much weight and have become so depressed and I often feel so alone with this issue. I know the risks of getting cancer from this are very high and doctors say its either get pregnant or have a hysterectomy but for women with this problem getting pregnant is virtually impossible and having a hysterectomy you lose all possibility of having your own child and your left with the option of adoption but then adoption is so expensive that you may not be able to afford it. Its very difficult for women, there is no easy answer but you need to follow your heart and keep the faith. May we all find peace and happiness. My best to you and your husband I havent started hormone or fertility treatment yet, but thats the next step for me. I know its going to be a very long steap hike to the top of this mountain and I have to keep believing theres light at the end of the tunnel but I feel so isolated. Every mother in my 4 yr old daughters pre school has 2, 3 and 4 kids, all my girl friends just look at their husbands and they are pregnant and I hate it. I know Im blessed to have my daughter but Ive always dreamed of having 3 kids, and now Im going to need a miricle to have 2. I wish there were local PCOS support groups in towns that you can go to.
