Wanting to get pregnant
Mon, 08-18-2003 - 12:05am
HI everyone. I am new to these message boards. I don't know if I am even posting to the right one. My name is Amy and I am 28-years-old. I have been married for 4 years and we have no children (unless you want to call 4 furbabies my children - which, of course, I do). I have seen a Gyno 1 time last year and I have a blocked fallopian tube (after having the HSG from HECK). She schedules me to come in and talk with her (I guess) and also refers me to a fertility specialist. Immediately, that sends up red flags that I should have a 2nd opinion, which I have not gone to go get yet. I have been battling with myself whether to have children at this stage in my life and last weekend totally changed my mind. My best friends little sister (who is 18 and just out of high school) is pregnant. I went to her baby shower and I saw a glow on her face that for some reason I had not seen on anyone else's face before, not even my sister-in-laws or other friends. She looked so peaceful and happy with herself and I wanted that too. I guess saw motherhood in a new light. Everyone I knew around me was having babies, so I went thru the first wave of people I know having kids. Now I am going thru it again. My friend's little sister, my sister-in-laws sister (again), and one of my best friends (again) are pregnant, and a few other people. I feel left out of something and I want to join the club - I just want to dive in, but of course that is up to God (which is totally fine by me - I can go with the flow) and I also want to get a 2nd opinion about my fallopian tube situation. They could not even get the 2nd tube into my cervix to see if my right tube was blocked, my cervix was so tight. I don't know if that is just a problem or if it was due to me being nrevous during my HSG. I wanted to kick the radiologist in the teeth because he was hurting me ( I should have). Anyways, also my husband is a Type 1 diabetic and he has a low sperm count (I got the odds against me don't I :(

Sorry to ramble on, I just have to get this out and I do have a support partner which happens to be my best friend with the pregnant sister. She wants us to try and get pregnant at the same time and I told her it will 6 months before I even attempt that. I have decided not to wait and I will make an appointment with the new doctor tomorrow.

What I am asking of this board is for Prayers. I don't want to discuss it with a lot of family members because I am known for changing my mind and I am postive that I am ready now. I just hope that God thinks I am too.

Anyone out there with fallopian tube problems, give me a holler at craftyamos75@wmconnect.com - and anyone else that wants to chat!

Thanks,

Amy
