I am 18 years old and have just gotten told I am infertile. I am looking for more information on it. Its a hard thing for anyone to comprehend. So I have some more specific questions also. How did you/someone you know deal with it? What do you know about IVF? How is someone supposed to explain it to their family? How are you supposed to deal with being around so many people who currently are pregnant?

You're still young. You still have all the chances.
We are in the same situation. I have been into three artificial inseminations already, but unfortunately they were failures. I am advised to have IVF, but it's very expensive. I think I'll opt for adoption, because I'm already 37.
You can read about IVF from sharedjourney.com. I hope this helps.
Have a nice day!

I know I still have lots of time to process & do something. After we found out, we are planning to start every option asap. I found a site called http://ivfvacation.com/. It is only about $6500 to do it. We are in Germany for the next three years at least & the clinic is only about an hour from us, so it would be cut down to about $3500. Its def a good option. We can't adopt because we are not 25. We want to start now because that leaves us time to save up if the first IVF doesnt work & so on. I am sorry you're in the same situation & I wish you the best of luck. I am going to check out the site. Thank you so much!

Hi
1st of all, i guess, you should go to doctor and ask him all of the above questions. A doctor in such a situation is the best guide. You just know that you are infertile. Ok, now infertility isn't uncommon and various medical facilities are available. So I repeat, go to your doctor and ask himm all you want to know.

So sad to hear that... don't be sad. With technology nowadays, there are a lot of ways for infertile women to have biological children. I have a friend who resorted to adopting a newborn baby. They said that way, the baby would grow up and see them as her real parents. I guess telling the whole family the truth is the best thing to do and let them know you need all the support you can get. It will really be difficult, specially seeing pregnant, happy women or women with children. Bottomline is, you are not the only woman given this situation... and God did not give this to you without a reason. Hugs!
