Howdy!
I'm a newbie. I was diagnosed with PCOS this summer after a lifetime without menses.
Even after years of knowing that I might have trouble conceiving a child, it still hit very hard. How do you gals deal with the pain and the grief?
My husband, who is wonderful, doesn't want to tell anyone. I feel that it helps me to tell people, especially our parents, as it takes a LOT of pressure off me concerning giving them grandkids.
On a different note, we've decided to just forgo a lot of the typical TTC-ing and we're becoming foster-to-adopt parents. I've always had a huge heart for fostering and it seems he's caught it. We are in the process of choosing an agency to help us get certified and begin the process.
Choosing to adopt doesn't mean that I don't want to conceive a child biologically. I still want that, but I've always wanted to adopt at least one of my children. I'm finding that explaining those facts to others is very difficult. They see it as an "either, or" situation.
Many of the people who know us don't understand why we'd want to adopt as my husband has a son from a previous marriage. They think we should just be happy with the one we get to share with his mom.
Anyway, I'm glad there's a place for me to meet others who have similar circumstances as I have.
