Hi! I'm new around here and just finding my way. We have been trying for 7 years now. I have endometriosis, which is the reason for our difficulty. And 2 years ago was diagnosed with RA. We have been in the adoption process for 2 years now with one loss. We are on hold again until I can get things under control with the RA. Hope I can be a support to all here.
I am also glad this group was made! I am 28 years old and have got sick about a year after we married. We had planned on having a family but I suffer from PCOS and now this chronic illness and everything is just on hold. It's hard seeing all of my friends marry and have children and I just struggle to get through day by day. I know God is in control and his timing and plans are perfect, so I am doing my best to hold fast to Him. We just have to remember to keep my eyes focused on Jesus and he will carry us through!
Wow, I'm so glad to have found this group on this site..... I have recently had to deal with the possibility of never having children due to my own back injury and also my husband's chronic health condition. This has been really hard to come to terms with - having children has always been a dream of mine, and I just know my husband would make an amazing father. I am believing in faith that if it is God's will for us to have children, then he will work a miracle in our lives - other than that, I am just taking one day at a time.
I had a hystercectomy when i was 22yrs old at the time i wasnt in a decenct relationship 6months kater i met the man that i am now married too. I feel guilty because i cant give this man that i love any children we have beentogether almost 7 years and married just over 4 years he says that it doesnt bother him that we cant have children but every once in awhile the subject will come up and this issue bothers me the most how can iwork past this with him it is not causing problems between us it causes problems with me because i also suffer from mental illiness and its hard to find the right poeple to discuss things like this with
