Unable to have children

Malaysia
May 7, 2009 2:28am CST
Hi guys, I've been married to my man for four years now and i am still unable to get pregnant. Last year my sister in law was pregnant with her first born after having married for 6 months. I know I should be happy but I was devastated to hear the happy news. Then recently, I discovered that my same sister in law is one month pregnant, again. I know this is a joyful news, but inside I was hurting. I was extremely sad because I couldn't give my husband the child he always wanted. He will have many nieces, but he won't have his own flesh and blood. I seldom wonder why God treat me this way. Maybe I am being punished for my sins? Luckily, I have a wonderful and understanding husband. With that being said, I will continue to wait and wait for the happy day when I can finally tell my husband i am pregnant...I hope the day is near...

Hi there! Have you visited an Ob-gyne? You know, there are women who takes years to get pregnant but visiting a specialist can help speed up the procedure. I'm happy for you that you have an understanding husband. It's not your that can't pregnant. Maybe it's not yet time for you to have a baby. I suggest both you and your husband should visit a specialist. I'm not assuming there could be problem but its better to be sure that everything is ok. Hope that helps. Ciao!

PCOs? What condition is that? Is that having an inverted ovary or something like that?

Hi, PCOS is called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Their ovary has this tiny cyctic structures in their ovary and my friend said that it is affecting the pregnancy in some cases. But it is not possible to get pregnant with that. My friends get pregnant even though they have PCOS, they have great doctor and they are bed rest right now.

Hi there. Don't be sad, Just hang on there and in God's time we will all be blessed with the little angles we ever wanted. In our case, We will be celebrating our Second Wedding Anniversary this Month of May and we plan of having a child also. If we have to wait, we will wait, but of course you got to help yourself too, like visiting your OB regularly and ask for some vitamins you have to take in preparing for your pregnancy. I have many friends that are also like you, and they been married for 4 to 8 years and never been pregnant. Some have the same case as your PCOS- it is called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. and some have Blocked fallopian tubes.Many of friends who have PCOS have been pregnant already with the help of their great OB. Be happy, because the worse it for those who have a blocked fallopian tubes, because, they can never get pregnant even though how they tried, because the fallopian tubes that supposed to be the way of the sperm is blocked. Their only way is to have it operated via a laparoscopy, but chances are very low. And the most doctors advise for them is only through IVF (in-vito-fertilization). But it cost so much that my friends will sacrifice everything just to undergo of that procedure. Many people now are like you who is suffering, you are not alone. You can try Acupuncture, my friend say that it can help those who have PCOS. Just relax and talked to your husband about that. Some cases are their husbands have the problem like low sperm count and morphology. Just try visiting your doctor and asked for any advise of what to do. Just be positive!!! Baby Dust to you! Never Give UP!!!!

Hi, Thanks for your Baby Dust:-) Usually PCOs happened to those who are overweight, and I'm in that category. And because I am overweight + have PCOs, I will have to try harder than most people to lose weight. I'm 93kg now and my doctor just prescribed me with Duromine for losing weight and lots of other medicine to regulate my irregular menstrual. Hopefully this treatment will work and I'll get pregnant soon!

I think you should see your doctor and find out if anything can be done. It might be just a simple matter and you might need an operation. If you feel that it was because of what you did in the past, the sooner you find out the better and do not let anyone stop you. Sometimes these things happen and it is ironic that someone who had the same experience as you can wind up with three or more children and some are childless. It also could be that you might not get pregnant until years later. It happened to my sister-in-law. If you do look into adoption, you can always adopt a baby who looks like yours and your husband. I know it is not as popular and politically correct as adopting a child from a different ethnic group, but the baby will look like both of you and people will never know unless you tell them.

I know that it SUCKS when others around you get pregnant and you can't. Many of my friends and younger cousins are either pregnant or recently had kids. My husband and I have been trying for over 2.5 years and still no luck. I've tried just about everything to get pregnant. I've been to my regular physician, an acupuncturist, a naturopathic doctor, a reproductive endocrinologist, and a Mayan abdominal masseuse. I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but I'm sure you get the picture. I'm willing to try just about anything to get pregnant. At least you know what you're up against. Doctors haven't found a reason why my husband and I can't conceive. I wish you luck.

It could be a couple of reasons why you're not getting pregnant..Babies needs a healthy "home" in order for them to grow properly..Do you think that their might be something missing? Have you been taking the proper steps to get pregnant? Like taking your prenatal vitamins, getting proper nutrition, exercise.. I knew a couple of women who had a hard time getting pregnant...It took them four years to finally have the miracle they've always wanted..There was nothing wrong with them but it just a matter of God telling them that it wasn't the right time yet..God knows what your heart desires...He will eventually give you yours you just need to be patient..You know what the bible say "Ask and you shall receive".. I found a website that may help you.. http://tinyurl.com/956jmsw Vanessa

Hi neoplanet I know how you feel as I have been trying to get pregnant for nearly 7 years now. last year I was diagnosed with pcos and I thought that was it for me. since then I have met other women with the same condition as us that have since had children. so yes there is hope for us we just have to keep trying. I found out that they was prescibed something called clomid (not sure if I spelt that right lol) so I am going to talk to my doctor about it soon. I have started working out my basal body temperture now aswell as using ovulation sticks because as you know we may not ovulate reguarly so I think this is the best way to find out when I do. please dont give up hope our day will come for us. big hugs to you hun xxx
