Awe thank you. It's trying for sure. And then watching horrible women like Casey Anthony murder and throw away a beautiful girl is almost maddening. There are so many people who would love to a have a child but it's not as easy to achieve as it may seem.
LOL. Don't worry TXP LOTS of people on this forum have thought I was a male. You were not alone in that thought. I know Rose was one. And there were others who also thought I was a male. I'm not sure why my posts came across as being male. LOL.
I suffered through what they called secondary infertility. I had my son when I was twenty-one and not even trying to have a baby. Then, when he was three, we started trying for a second.
Four years later, when our son was seven, I conceived again, but lost the baby at three months.
I then went through a few years of hormone hell. I was diagnosed with endometriosis and treated with birth control pills and then Depo-Provera, which almost killed me. The doctors thought I had had a stroke and I went through weeks of neurological testing.
I was okay, but I had had enough and we decided to be happy with our only child. We always knew how lucky we were to have him.
Then, five years later, I got (unexpectedly!) pregnant. I gave birth to my daughter five days after my son's twelfth birthday. The doctors weren't sure I could carry her to term, but I did.
My son and his wife can't have children, and three years ago they adopted a pair of siblings, a brother and sister who were ten and six when the adoption was finalized. So now I have a thirteen year old granddaughter and a ten year old grandson - and my daughter is closer in age to her niece and nephew than she is to her brother.
