? for all women unable to have a child?

Im 24 and my husband I and so far not been able to have a child. Dr's say i have poly cystic ovarian syndrom (spelling might be off) they said i may never have a child. My husband i and been togeather for almost 10 yrs. When i was first told this i was really upset...but kinda came to terms with it. Now as i have got older im having a much harder time with it...my husband comes from a big family and his brothers and sister all have kids and honestly i feel myself get to where i dislike them all cause i want what they have so bad. I dont know how to handle this...i have no one that understands and my husband seems to not even understand why i feel like this..its like he just blows it off. I dont want to become a bitter person to all the women out there that are able to have kids..but i feel myself get jealous. Any advice would help. thanks so much

    i too have pcos, and we are ttc w/ the help of a drug called clomid, it promotes ovulation. I know how u feel when u say ur bitter or jealous, this is a very difficult thing to have to go thru, unfortunately ur not the only going thru it. I'm guessing ur husband "blows it off" b/c he doesn't know how to deal w/ it either, my husband didn't know how to handle having a convo abt it for a long time b/c he knew how upset I would be , so he thought if he didn't talk abt it, it would just go away....we struggled w/ ttc on our own for 2 yrs while all our family and friends have or are having babies of their own. In Sept I started seeing a fertility specialist and in Nov. I started a drug called clomid,which helps ovulation occur, I'm on my 3 cycle of clomid , Ive heard so many success stories on this site and that keeps me positive along w/ the support from my husband. I defiantly know how u feel and ware ur coming from. My suggestion 2 u is, make and appt w/ a fertility dr or gyn and have some test done on u and husband, and ask abt clomid too....also u will find a lot of great answers here...Best of Luck 2 U

    Im 23 and trying to conceive #1.

    My sister in law tried for 5 years and finally got pregnant through artificial methods with twins. There is hope out there, and because you are young you should be responsive to treatment.

    Have you and your husband tested further. Start by takng Clomid, as prescribed by your doctor and tehn artificial insemination for about 3 times. Is not that costly.

    If all this fails, turn to IVF! I know a lot of success stories, and due to your age the risks are minimal

    Baby dust to you and me both!

    Honestly, I can relate to everything you are saying. The bad part is I dont what to tell you because I feel the same way and I dont know how to get over it. Some days are good and some are bad. I just have to keep praying and believe that it will happen. All I can say is keep trying and start enjoying your husband more and maybe it will happen without you trying. Good luck and God bless

    well if there is a medical condition that prevents you from having your own Biological child, and you REALLY want to be a mom there are millions of babies all over the world who dont have a mom and REALLY want one, i mean i know its not the same, but after you hold that baby in your arms and feel the love rush between the two of you, you really wont remember that it didnt come from your uterus! its always somehting to think about! i see woman on here all the time asking questions about not wanting there kids maybe you can set something up and take there baby to be your own! may god bless you there are a million miricles born every year that we people forget about! make one your own!

    I have never had a child, and I am happy the way I am. Maybe it is a maturing process, you are still very young. Women without children can be very harshly judged, so I understand what you are saying. Also, you are judging yourself very harshly. You may need counseling to deal with your feelings, and I would suggest this. Jealousy is a hard taskmaster, it steals your happiness. You don't want this to ruin your marriage.

    If it is so important to you, maybe you should consider adoption.

    i know how you feel. i am sick to my stomach about it sometimes. it is natural to want children.

    so, i don't know who this doctor is but lots of women with pcos have children!!!! you may need some medical assistance and it might take awhile but it is possible. women with pcos are not infertile they are usually very fertil and just need some help ovulating. i suggest you visit www.soulcysters.net which has lots of threads on pcos including lots of success stories. try to see a new doctor.

    in the meantime, if you have periods that are less than 3 months apart then try charting your bbt. you may be ovulating and may just need to time sex properly.

    you are also very young and should be responsive to treatment. all i can say is do your research b/c even some doctors don't know about pcos.

    and most men are NOT good at dealing with this.

    You know, I placed my first baby for adoption. It was the hardest thing I have ever done, but the best decision I have ever made. There are so many girls out there who aren't ready to be mommies or who have unplanned pregnancies and need other options so they don't turn to abortion. I was so grateful to find a couple who wanted a baby so bad and who would take care of my baby girl and love her so much. You never know, maybe someone who is an answer to your prayer will also find you as an answer to theirs...

  • i have heard of women still having babies even though they have pcos, maybe you can go back to your doctor and ask for stats and see if there is anything that can be done. i totally understand your jealousy it must be so hard, but have you thought of fostering or adoption? dont give up hope.
