BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Infertility Introduce Yourselves!

Okay, I'll start.

My name is Karen, I'm 25 now, and my husband and I faced five years of Infertility before or son came. Although we didn't actively try for five years (work issues and financial limitations) that didn't make it any less painful. I believe or inability to run at our problems head-on made it harder. I used to find myself thinking..."If only we had the money to do this" or "We can't afford to adopt either!"

There was a light at the end of the tunnel, and I see that light every morning still, when my son looks up form his crib and says "HI! Mommy."

So, now I want to hear from you, just a little so everyone can get to know each other...

Hi Karen my name is Kimberly I am 34 yrs old and I have 4 children from my first marriage. I married young (18) <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> It was a disaster and also a very long story and I don't want to bore you. Anyway I ended up getting my tubes tied even though I love children I just didn't want to have any more with this man. At the time, being young and naieve, I thought I would be with him forever because that's what I was taught. :rolleyes: Grin and bear it!!!!! Well I just remarried 2 yrs ago (9/8/01). Adam is the most sweetest man my family, my children, even my ex's family loves him. He is everything I ever dreamed of having in a man. He is a great provider,father,husband I have never been so happy. The past 5 yrs that I have been with him have been so wonderful. Now we want to have a child of our own and this is where I get so upset with myself. I have always felt so guilty over having my TL done and now I feel worse. We have been to an RE and he says I am a great candidate for IVF. But of course financially it just doesn't seem like we are going to get there. We are trying so hard but with 4 children already money is tight. I go back to the RE on 8/14 and I am hoping something happens before that. To make things worse my husband has just been deployed over seas. The RE had all his testing done and had him leave a "deposit" <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> before he left. So now everythings on me to take care of. My husband says when I want things bad enough something always comes through so don't stress so I just keep trying to remember that. Well now that I've talked your ear off thanks for letting me vent. Keep up the good work on the newsletter. It was my first time on and I liked the site it's friendly and hope you keep writing. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> :music: :music: :music:
