Now I run. You do what you need to cope, right? I hope things work out for you and your partner, whatever choices you might make about children and how to have them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009002369383581517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602556203036535884.post-74705921043418902752013-04-25T16:31:14.578-05:002013-04-25T16:31:14.578-05:00*big hugs right back*
Thank you so much for shari...*big hugs right back*<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your story. Infertility seems to be one of those things that aren't talked about very much, but deeply affect many. Congratulations on your pregnancy, I hope everything goes well. From what little I know about you, it sounds like you'll be a fantastic mom.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009002369383581517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602556203036535884.post-2859989410521857602013-04-25T13:08:43.928-05:002013-04-25T13:08:43.928-05:00I'm glad you posted this, it answers some ques...I'm glad you posted this, it answers some questions I had. I feel some of your pain from a different perspective, my partner is almost sterile due to an accident when he was a kid, and I'm told that I have a low chance myself of getting pregnant. Sure we could adopt, but I too die a little inside when I'm late & then my period shows up. I can imagine a little about how you feel. But my partner is no less of a man, and you and I are no less of women, and I'm glad that you're strong & know that. However if you're ever feeling down about it, I personally like beating out my frusturations (& PMS) on a punching bag. :)<br /><br />-SabrinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602556203036535884.post-18139850357664954142013-04-25T12:38:16.858-05:002013-04-25T12:38:16.858-05:00I am pregnant now, and I feel incredibly lucky. Hu...I am pregnant now, and I feel incredibly lucky. Humbled, really.<br /><br />I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome at an early age. 13 or so.<br /><br />Got told by lots of friends I was SOOOO LUCKY I didn't have to deal with a period. Men I dated always happily jumped to the conclusion, "So this means we don't need condoms!?"<br /><br />I was jealous of pregnant women, especially those who didn't even plan their pregnancies. Docs said I wouldn't conceive without drugs or IVF, and maybe not even then...<br /><br />PCOS, because of its hormonal imbalances, also causes the appearance of facial hair, body hair, acne, and baldness. These things, despite my pregnancy, are things I will always deal with. And even now that I'm carrying, I have trouble feeling feminine.<br /><br />I know my experiences differ from yours, but from someone who can relate just a little bit, *big hugs*<br /><br />-Debbie<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
