Megan - You are soooo not alone there! I wanted to cry yesterday when my mother said, yet again, that it's okay and we could just adopt. It is a wonderful thing to adopt but it isn't the same thing as being able to experience motherhood ourselves. I feel exactly the same way - I want to have my own biological children. I want a child that looks like me and DH. I'm lucky that my DH feels the same way I do about that. He wants his own kids and so he's willing to do what we need to to reach that goal.

Oh, thank you ladies, so very much.
Megan, that really stinks. I am so sorry the news was not good, but I suppose it helps to know because you can develop a plan. I think it is awesome that your DH said he would do the surgery for you. My partner was not as gung ho about having a natural child as I was, but when he saw how much it meant to me, he was willing to do a lot, in fact, more than I expected him to do. I would at least look into the surgery and see what the success rates are and how difficult the procedure is in terms of the surgery itself and the recovery. I know I would want my partner to do it, even if it felt a little selfish.
Big hugs to you!

TTC #1 since Feb '09 with Unexplained Infertility: SA's all ok; b/w and HSG ok; Lap Mar '10 - mild endo on outside of right tube/uterus removed but not considered eno
Don't feel too discouraged and don't feel alone... we knew before we got started with a fertility doctor less than a month ago that my husband has sperm issues... and with a little testing on my part, now we also know that I have issues.
TTC naturally since June 2009
IVF #1 November 2010...BFP....early M/C
FET #1 April 2011...BFP...beta 10, 29, 460.

Oh Megan I am SO sorry the appointment did not go as planned. I do not think it is selfish at all to want to be pregnant. I feel the same way. I am constantly scared that I won't get that feeling. I know that there is adoption and I know if biological children are not for us then that is what we will do. However I know that it will crush me not to get that chance. I do not think wanting that makes your adopted twins any less special.
It is hard to feel alone in this. My DH does not understand my desire to carry a child either. He believes however we get children is fine enough. In my heart I know I would love them but we cannot help that.
I know IF is so hard. Hopefully you and your DH can decide what is best for you guys.
