I am sorry for what you are going through Amonkie, that is tough!

I would like to point out that if you do turn out to have fertility problems, you are not alone . . . 1 in 3 women have problems getting pregnant or cannot concieve at all . .

My hubby and i cannot have kids together and we knew that before we got married . . . we don't know if we want kids yet, we are only 23 . . . but we know of several couples who have adopted and loved the child even though it was not "their own flesh and blood" Once that adopted child is in your arms . . . all that stuff about DNA and having a carbon copy of yourselves fades away and that child is yours . . . I just wanted to point out that even though you might not be able to have your "own" children . . . it would not keep you from being a wonderful and fullfilled and happy mother . . .
I understand wanting to have a child of your own that is a reflection of yourself and your family . . . that makes sense to me totally . . . But if you cannot . . . it's equally as beautiful to be a mother if you do choose to adopt one day!

hang in there . . .
