hi Jana,

im am only 15 so i wouldnt completly understand your problem, but i do understand how it feels to be on the outside looking in. and i think that if you really want childern ou should talk to doctors and see what your choices are then discuss these option with your family and husband.

Hi Ali,

Thank You for you response. I have been to all of doctors I can handle. I have have tried for 15 years. It just isn't going to happen. There are no more options I haven't tried or either insurance will not cover.

I am almost 35 and I totally understand. I have been married 9 years and cannot have a baby either. I am a pediatric nurse, so I see kids every day. My heart breaks a little each day, but I will not let this effect my career! It has already taken too much from me. If you need to talk more, let me know. God Bless.

I am 29 and as of yet not fully sure wether i can actually get pregnant or not but we have been tryin doc assisted for 4 years and unassisted for about 8 . I do have health issues that prevent the over all outcome that is wanted. so i do to a point fully understand alot of things. have you thought of looking into adoption most states have infant adoption places and attorneys to look into it.

Hi. We have looked into adoption, but it can take a long time, and my husband is not crazy about the idea of the home studies and all that...he thinks it is so invasive, I guess. We think we have pinpointed the problem with our infertility and though it may be able to be "fixed" using IUI, we don't have the money right now. IUI is alot cheaper than in vitro, so I had hoped we could do it, but he won't talk much about it and I think it is because he is a man and they sometimes just don't talk like women do. Thanks for the input, though. We certainly have discussed it. I have a friend at work who has been trying to conceive for a very long time, too, and they are adopting. She is supposed to have a baby next month, and they were only on the list less than a year! That does not always happen, though. I feel so...upset and angry at God and I am trying to work through it but some days it is hard! I should be starting my cycle today, so that makes me extra angry and in a bad mood! Funny after all these years that I can get so upset still seeing that first spot of blood every month...but I do.

Thanks so much for listening. If you need to talk, you know where to find me.

I can so relate to your last sentence ...you get so upset from the first drop of blood. I understand. My husband (who is very supportive) just doesn't understand everything. He thinks I get moody because of PMS ..to me it is a lost and a reminder everyday of what I do not have.

I am so scared...we just tried an IUI and according to the doctors everything was as it should be...but it didn't take. Now they are a little discouraged of my getting pregnant without IVF. For someone reason those words scare me...it makes me feel that NOW it is more serious. I know I should be supporting others but if I can ask for a little support that would be appreiciative.

To all those that are in pain, scared, and sad. I hope that you can have some peace and I am sorry that You too are struggling. Thank you for letting me share.
