You Can Control Conception Posted: 07-21-04 14:07pm
Don't stress out about getting pregnant.
It will happen, only when you lower your
anxiety. Stress really does take a toll
on you. I was convinced that I could not
have another child. Six years went by.
So we worked, went to school, had fun with
our first child, and when they told me
that I was pregnant again-
I went into shock- and after our second
child's 2 years old birthday party I came
to the realization that doctors don't know
jack about everything.
Three doctors told me that I couldn't get
pregnant again, endometriosis removed
three times, one fallopian tube, two
c-sections. Please. Be patient, enjoy
life more, start saving money for what may
come.
Heck you might even have twins- then what
will you do? So start putting some money
away- so when you do get pregnant- you
might stand a financial chance in spoiling
and providing for your child.
Time flies by after that- you are so busy
with picking them up from school and
daycare- taking them and their friends to
the mall, movies- you will wish that you
spent more time preparing for when it does
happen.
Now that I have two beautiful children,
cozying up at the age of 33, exercising,
wrapped up in their lives and mine, I wish
that I did make the most of my time back
then.
What happens after the cute fun few years?
Reality sets in. Lol but it's great, and
keeps you on your toes. Teenage years!
Right now- try to improve your disposition
so that you can be a better parent. What
are your values- problem areas you need to
improve now- anger management?-maintaining
a proper diet and exercise program?
Things that you will need later. Sewing
always had me stumped. Try to find some
interests you might want your child and
you to do years from now. My husband
embraced karate and so has our eldest
child. The second one looks like a
"softball" type of girl. Prepare and have
fun at it.

I really enjoyed reading your post! I too
have endo and am currently having so many
troubles getting pregnant! I have only
been married 2 months and it really is
heartbreaking after trying for so long(we
have been trying for a year now)
but it's really great to hear success
stories when your about to give up! Did
you do any treatments such as lupron? I
did and my dr told me it would help to
increase my chances and of course didn't.
Sometimes I feel as tho they just say that
stuff to get your $! (i work at a drs
office and in some cases it seems
true)altho it's not!What about other
treatments u have done? I had laproscopic
surgery in 02, went on lupron for 6 months
after that, the pill for 6 months again,
and then they wanted to wait and see!
Wait and see what, I am still in pain with
every period, still no babies and still
tryin! I dunno, maybe we should give up
for a while and "wait and see"
