Q: Want a Baby Desperately

My husband and I have been TTC for over 5 years. I have PCOS but with metformin my cycle is now ok. I am trying IUI at the moment and due to start IVF soon. I am concerned that I have never been pregnant and probably never will. I don't know what to do. I feel that I can't give my husband a child. I am even thinking of ending the marraige because of it. Can someone please help. I am so depressed! Don't know how to move on from here!

Oh Honey
I am so sorry. I know how it can feel. Sometimes I feel less than a woman because i had had so much trouble concieving. The truth of the matter is that it will happen, but obviously later than sooner. you have come so far, don't loose hope. i did my first iui couple of days ago after 3 yrs of ttc and I am 35 too Confused
Don't give up and do not break your marriage over this. Maybe ivf would do the trick and you will be soooooooo happy with your little one and look back thinking it was all worth it. Hang in there.

Re: Want a Baby Desperately
Hi Dear

I understand fully how you feel. I also have pcos and have never been pregnant. I am currently undergoing a series of blood work. The results came in and my doctor called me asking me to come in immediately. I know that is never a good sign so I am hoping and praying that whatever it is I will be able to deal with it. I am turning 34 years old in August and I am so afraid I will not be able to have kids. I just wanted you to know that there are other people out here who have similar problems, some worse than others so keep your hopes up and something positive will happen. I agree your husband should be tested because his health can change since he had his son. Good luck.

DO NOT END A GREAT MARRIAGE BEACUSE OF FERTILITY! My mother, grANdmother, myself, and all my aunts AND COUSINS have PCOS to various degrees. The one with the worst case, my aunt, had a beautiful baby girl all by accident, and she is now 16 and one of the brightest most resposible people I know. I myself was a miracle: my mother had PCOS and an unpside down uterus. YOu may not get more than one, but one is all you need. ANd if your husband loves you, he'd rather have only you then some other woman and a billion kids.

Re: Want a Baby Desperately
I am a new member also and reading your post it is as if i am speaking. We have been ttc for 9 years now and i have never been pregnant, did clomid for my ovulation and that didn't help. Just bought Ovulex for both myself and husband, hope this works...wish me luck

PS. Don't break your marriage up because of this, it has crossed my mind too, i know my husband wast a baby but i think this process is making us value all the little simple things in life i.e like having a baby more.

I too want a baby
I feel like my ultimate calling in life is to have a baby and be a mother. Life was cruel to me as I only met my husband and married at 34. I was panicked I might never have a baby. I feel a sense of relief that marriage has opened the possibility of realising my dream to have a child. I have a friend who is 39 and fell pregant with IVF. There are lots of alternatives out there....so if its not happening naturally, consult your doctor. Also if you are not doing so already, try the FAM method (from the book 'Take charge of your fertility', use an ovulation monitor and do BBT charting with a thermoter. It's supposed to reduce the time taken to conceive drastically
