Tough Decision

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Charleston, WV

My mental health has been off the wall lately with this quarantine I have a lot of time to think, I’m hating myself for being infertile for being broken, for not being able to do the one thing I feel like I’m suppose to be able to do and that’s be pregnant. I want it so bad it hurts and consumes me. Yet there is nothing I can do I have been trying for 8 years, I can’t afford fertility treatments. And they may not even work. I told my husband last night he deserves to be with someone who can give… read more

You have to remember that having endo isnt your fault. I cannot have children, but I accepted that. Stress is a major factor of infertility. This website gives sight on the top 10 ways to Boost fertility naturally... I hope this helps. If you need help with diet or workouts please reach out. https://www.premamawellness.com/blogs/blog/tips...

I don’t know your situation and I don’t know your relationahip with your husband... but there is stress on both parties. I say try, try, try again. Relax, destress, and enjoy the process.

It is ridiculous and its it's not. You love your husband to the point that you are willing to sacrifice your own happiness to give him what he deserves and that is an amazing thing. But don't discount his wants. Talk to him, ask him what his opinion is and see where his head is at. If he has stayed this long then love he wants you, not the dream. And i feel for you. I was lucky enough to get 2 miracles but 6 months after my 2nd they had to do an emergency hysterectomy on me. Saved my life. Now how i can relate is that my ex kicked me out a few years ago, i have one of my miracles by him, and i believed that no man is gonna want a single mom who can not give him kids if he didnt have his own. I actually found a man that has no kids of his own but loves mine as his. He has never been upset that i can't give him his own kids. Mine fill that place for him. He even wants to adopt my boy, who's sperm donor has never wanted, and that is awesome. But every day i fell as if i fail him. I don't have the sex drive of a normal female, i honestly forget to have sex he has to remind me, and i see how amazing he is with my two and want him to have the experience of see his own flesh and blood grow and develop from conceiving to adulthood and i can't. Sweetie what im trying to say is you are amazing and there is nothing wrong with how you feel. Talk to your husband, see what he says. There are other things you can do to be a parent, not just fertility treatments or even surrogacy. There is adoption and just being an amazing aunt and uncle. I have that amazing aunt who never made me feel as if i had no value, when my mother was trying to make me give up my first child, mind you i was 19 and a high school graduate, my aunt stood behind me on keeping him. I know mine is a different situation as i was able to have two by the grace of god but i promise you are not alone and we are all here for you. Keep your head up and tell those negative thoughts to fuck off you have no time for their silliness. Then go talk to your man and find out the best plan for y'all. Hugs and loves
