infodesign

I had meningitis when I was 1-1/2 years old in 1964. I had to re-learn how to do all the things previously known to me.

My entire adult married life from age 23 to 39 I have mentioned the illness to at least 10 doctors. Always questioning if this were why I couldn't get pregnant. All said NO! They also told me nothing was wrong and I should be able to get pregnant. Well, I didn't and 2 years ago I ended up at a fertility doctor for invitro, but instead I developed 5 fibroid tumors weighing about 7lbs and a wonderful hysterectomy was performed.

Now I'm left with no children, (I don't want to adopt) I wanted to whole pregnancy experience with my own children. But I have always felt the my infertility must have stemmed from the meningitis.

You are the first person in my 41 years, who has ever in the least way confirmed this. Do you have any info I can look further into? I need to have closure to my disappointment and heartbreak. I have wanted to have a child since I was around twelve. And this has left me devastated in ways that most people don't understand.

Thanks,
