our baby

I am 37 years old, I was married the first time at 14 yrs. old, he was 21 yrs. old. we had our first child when I was 16, next at 18 then my last at 21. I was married to my first husband for 15 yrs. I am remarried now to a wonderful , loving, caring man, we have been married for 5 1/2 yrs. my new husband is 10 yrs. younger than me. we have been trying to have a baby for 5 1/2 yrs. now, my husband has no children of his own. he has hypogonadism, it causes erection problems and viagra don't help him because he has no desire to have sex. his testosterone level is the same as an 90 yr. old man, it causes no sexual desire, tired all the time. we have tried everything to have a baby,4 ivf's, iui's, many ,many ,many ,infertility drugs shots, shots and more shots .a couple of miscarriages. we have no money left to have our dream come true, to have our baby. we would love to adopt a newborn baby but after all the money we have lost trying to have a baby we can't afford to adopt. it cost so much to adopt a healthy white newborn, and the wait is so long. I would give anything to find a birth mother that needs a good home for her baby and it don't cost 35,000 to 50,000. my husband is the best man I have ever met , he is loving, caring, and has provided my children with a loving home. I would love for him to get to experience having a newborn baby and watching them grow, knowing the feeling of being called DADDY. he has been a daddy in every sense of the word to my children, but my children were already half grown when we met. he was only 19 when we met, but he stepped up to the plate and took on the responsibility of a woman and her 3 children. it really takes a man, a DADDY! to do that. my husband has had a rough time the last few years, he lost his little brother (only brother) because of a drunk driver in a car accident, he had just turned 21 yrs. old a couple of months before. they were very close, they truly knew what it meant to be brothers. my husband always looked out for his little brother, it was very hard for him to deal with the fact he was not there to help his little brother the day of the wreck. the only thing that has ever come close to that pain is the day he found out he couldn’t have a baby. it about killed him to find out now that he can never have a baby. that is the one thing he has always wanted, to have a baby, to be a DADDY! he is the most caring, loving man I know he deserves to be a DADDY! if there is any way anyone can help please let us know. thank you so much, God bless you.

I Want Plastic Surgery Because...

Quote From: bekahm

 I can understand exactly how you feel.  I am you and you are me.  We are in the exact same boat.  I have been ashamed of my body for the past 26 years.  I don't know what if feels like to have worn a bikini, felt sexy, been unashamed .  It creates such a sense of being self conscious that it has stopped me from dating at times due to fear that he might see me naked at some point.  It's horrible and I truly can understand.  I too would like to feel normal before I die.  I have massive stretchmarks, extra skin, sagging breasts...the whole thing. I even have stretch marks behind my knees!!  I weigh 105 lbs and people say "oh gain some weight and fill out the skin"....it's not that easy ..for one thing I just don't gain weight and for another ..gaining weight will not fix the problem.  I also now have an ugly scar from a hysterectomy which only adds to the disgust.
i think you must be right, we are the same, i also have a scar from being cut  from hip bone to hip    bone to remove a growth the size of a grapefruit fom my ovary, when they opened me up the growth was gone, they still had to remove my left ovary and tube. gaining weight would not fix the sagging skin or your breast, are people crazy? i

i am so sorry you have had to live your life this way too, i hope and pray we both can get surgery and know how it feels to be normal.
