Is 8 years worth it?

I have been with my husband for 8 years. We have tried to get pregnant and everything but nothing has worked.

We are thinking of adopting but we want to have a beautiful baby.

I have been checked and the doctors see no reason why I couldn't get pregnant.

Don't know what's going on...

I have been having really bad headaches about every other day for the past 3 weeks now. I've also been having heartburn too. My period is really late cuz I have PCOS.

I really don't have any sickness or breast tenderness. I have been noticing a really weird feeling in my abdomen it kinda tickles and at times I have cramping.

it's so sad

My husband doesn't want to have any children. He's got a kid from his previous relationship, and he says it's enough. But I do not have any! I'd like to have one.

But he is not a good person too; he's selfish and likes to control me. He always asks where I go and for how long. If I had a baby with him, maybe I would have to divorce him to protect a baby from stress.

Sarah got a baby at 80!

I got my 1st baby 6 years ago, and that was so easy, a honeymoon baby. I'd never taken any interest in fertility issues because I figured it's an easy thing. No one teaches us about such things. Even when we started trying 3 years ago I took it all very easy.

Between having the first baby and now my husband lost his job and things got really tight for us and the issue of another baby was a no no.

My gyno had told me to try for a baby 2 years after the first because I had hypertension issues with the first. But we can't plan our lives and that became impossible.

Now after trying for 3 years I'm wondering if we should not have trusted the Lord and just gone ahead and had a baby then. Now I'm much older and realize how age affects fertility and how we should not plan our pregnancies too much, but leave such things to God. Many couples are suffering infertility coz they waited too long I believe.

Anyway like Sarah, I believe those of us waiting should have faith, no matter what. Good luck to all and God bless and may the Lord bless you with the babies you desire.

Waiting for Hope

I am 23yrs. old and my husband is 25. We have been trying to have a baby for 2yrs now but no hope. I went to the doctor and I had a check up because it's been 5 months that I have not had my period. They said that my ovaries were not working and that I had menopause at age 23. They also said that I did not have any hormones.

I felt like my whole world went out on me. I felt useless to my husband. The doctors said I should consult a fertility doctor. But how could I if the costs to have a child are tremendous in fertility. I ask god, why do women that don't want kids conceive them? And the ones that hope for at least just one can't have them? Why? I came to believe that I was on menopause because the doctor said that was one of the reasons why my period was not starting anymore. They said I would never get my period ever again because my menopause had already started. They said that my ovaries were not functioning anymore like an older persons.

I believed I had menopause because I would lock myself in the bathroom for no reason and just cry to myself. My husband would find me in the bathroom and he would cry just seeing how much I suffered from thinking that I would never give him a child. I was upset all the time and had panic attacks as well as thinking that I would never get a period ever again. If I did not get a period I would never become pregnant. I did not want to give up and think to myself that I have to adopt.

It hurts me to know that my husband has a 2yr. old son in Mexico from someone else and not from me. I just can't accept it. I had to get a second opinion so I went to another doctor. This is not a medical doctor. It is how can I say it? This person comes from Mexico and cures people here in The U.S. I put all my faith in him and told him everything the doctors had said. He said the doctors were wrong and that I could have kids. He said I did not have menopause and that my ovaries were functioning. He said I just had something small covering my ovaries and that's why I could not get pregnant. He said he removed it and to take some pills he had issued me. I started taking the pills for 4 days and I got my PERIOD!!!!

The doctors were wrong. I started my period. I did not have menopause. I am so excited. All my hope is back in my heart and I found out that you should never stick to one opinion. Always get more. I am full of hope and faith that this person curing me will help me have god bless me with a child like he said he would do.

I pray and hope that the next time a write back it will be to let you all know that my hope came true to become a mother. May god bless all the women that are full of hope in having a baby have one.
