I just read on another thread where you said you have a polycystic disease. Would this by chance be PCOS? Just curious you never or I have never really heard anyone anywhere mention this before.
Re: *LittleShrink*
Hi Dear!
It is....I found out about it probably 5-6 years ago. I don't really talk about it much because it's hard and it's just a chapter of my life that I feel I'm getting jipped out of. My sister and I are really the only ones that talk about it, probably because she is one of the very few people I have told. It's strange how when you get married, you are instantly supposed to have a baby and when you don't (regardless if people know why or not) they deem you as some type of mutant when you don't.
I'm also not one of those ladies that feels the need to try every type of procedure under the sun to have a child. I guess when I was told that I couldn't have kids and I had to deal with it on my own terms, I just felt and still do feel, that there is a reason that I wasn't meant to have kids. I don't want to go the extreme expense and quite frankly heartache of bringing a child into this world. It's just my own feeling on the matter. I do have a client that was also not able to have children naturally and she did everything she could, including almost going bankrupt, in order to have a child.
I guess that is my super long version of....YES.
I asked because I too have PCOS and not exactly a chapter of my life I care to talk about much either. Although I am becoming more and more comfortable with it. They have not told me that I can't have kids yet just that my chances are very much lowered. We will be trying and we will see what happens but no true decision has been made other than we will face it when it gets here.
I was diagnosed at 16 and I am 23 now so about 6-7 years ago. It was just weird at first then it got rough and now it seems the medication has helped quite a bit. It's all super strange to me since no family history and honestly I had never heard of it at all until then.
It's nice to have someone else to talk about it with. No one really seems to understand it. I didn't mean to be all nosey but curiousity got the best of me. Thanks for sharing with me!!
Oh gosh... you aren't nosey at all. I don't mind talking about it, I just don't bring up the topic. I'm glad that I have a confidant on this post too because there are just days that it does bother me. Not necessarily the biological clock clicking moments, but rather seeing my friends or my sister with their children and realizing that there is so much that I am missing out on.
I'm elated that you have a chance at having a baby and I can tell from your other posts that this something that you and your H are very much wanting. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Let be what will be and know that the two of you are strong enough to handle whatever this turns out to be for you. There are other alternatives out there. For me personally I have chosen other ways to be involved in children's lives like doing a lot of volunteer work. Love these organizations and feel like I can at the very least help improve their lives in some form. My sister is fantastic and really lets and wants me to be a big part of my niece and nephews lives and I can't tell you how wonderful that is.
I am pulling for you both and I will be here whenever you want to "talk".
