From a member: Here is my story: I am 33 years old. My husband and I have been together for 6 years and married for 3. When I was about 10 years old I was diagnosed with a chromosome disorder. I was told that I would never be able to have children (I have no ovary functioning. ) When I met my husband I found out that he also had a similar chromosome disorder. He found out about his much later in life. I thought I had accepted the fact that I cannot have children pretty well since I have known for so long. However, the older Ive gotten its become much harder. I feel like everyone around me is getting pregnant or have multiple kids. That is all I am bombarded with on Facebook as well.. Constant pictures of babies or pregnancy pictures. Its just a constant reminder of what I will never have. From the time I was a very little girl I wanted to be a mom and have a family. Its becoming harder and harder to accept that will never happen. I feel like there is no one that I can talk to about it..no one could possibly understand what its like. No one can understand how heartbreaking it is to hear that yet another friend is pregnant. Its so hard to keep being asked when are you going to have a baby?? My husband and I have thought about adoption, but its way to expensive and the process is very overwhelming. Sometimes I feel like Im alone in going through this. I am always happy when I find out someone is pregnant but it also makes me very sad. I know I probably come off as selfish but I cant help feeling the pain every time because Im reminded of what I will never get to experience.
