The beautiful thing about children is that if you care for children enough to adopt one, or two or twenty, when you become involved with the day to day care of another human being, you become interested in their future, you want to see them succeed, you want to teach them what you know, to save them some steps in this world.
My point is this, having children of your own, adopting children, becoming a foster parent, any of those things that you do for a child is going to be a rewarding experience. You are going to come away a better person, more fulfilled, more successful, and you will have passed on your own legacy. Isn't that the "point" of having children, is for them to inherit the earth? It matters not if the blood is the same.

Although there is a strong biological pull to have your own child, there are many children who need a good adoptive home. Or, you could look into some of the alternative methods out there like a surrogate mother?
It's one of those things that I'm sure it is hard to make peace with, but do your best to keep your perspective and be at peace.
Best of luck to you!

I would be upset, but there are many other options these days

have you ever thought about being a foster parent? Sometimes you can even end up adopting the child you foster. Its an idea that hasnt been posted yet.

hope for the best and keep praying and try to consult other specialist. if possible then you can try for test tube baby.... or as a last option you can adopt a baby. beacuse we cant fight with the nature.

I do not think it is very serious. You have to follow the Doctor's advise because he knows about your health better than anyone else. You console yourself and adopt a kid of your choice.

I don't know what I would do because I already have two so now I wouldn;t be bothered about having any more. But I guess if I had none and really wanted them, there are two things I would consider, depending on my personal feelings at the time. Either, I would throw myself into work and try to avoid the subject of children, make it feel like I would never have time for them anyway. Or I would do something like get into something where I work with children so I could have the experience of them.

Why not try invetro-fertilization(i hope I spelled that right) They take one of your eggs and fertilize it for you in a dish at the hospital with your husbands/boyfriends sperm then when they see life starting they place the embryo into your womb and let nature take its course. It is something to look into and that way you can still have your own.
Another thing that can be done is have a "mother Host" you can hire someone to be a surrogate mother to your baby. It is the same procedure I explained above but what they do is implant the embryo into your surrogat mother and she carries the baby for you. You both sign a contract so that at the end of the pregenancy you are guaranteed to get YOUR baby.
If that is not an option then your only other choice is adoption. There is nothing wrong with adoption because there are pleany of beautifull children wanting a home just like yours.

when the doctor is telling to us at first it may be very hard to digest. But we cant able change anything when nature is having strong hold on our life.
So try to adopt what's actually we can control.
Millions of childrens in this world are struggling for getting good food and support. Adopting one of them and giving our true love is best option. Even this happiness may not available with our own children.

I was told at 18 I would never be able to have a child. This was after I already had 2 miscarriges, then a infection in my tubes. About 6 months later I was preg. and had a baby girl. I was determined to have a child regardly what they doctors had to say. It has been hard though after my daughter I had 3 more miscarriges, then another baby girls, then 1 miscarrige and 2 etopics, at the same time as the last etopic I also had one in my uterus, so now I have gone from being told I would never have a child to having 3 little girls. :) Betty keep your dreams of having a child.

Actually, I was told that I would not be able to get pregnant. Low and behold, I have two beautiful healthy boys-ages 2 years and 10 weeks. I did not have any trouble getting pregnant, so I am glad that I did not listen much to the doctors. Have you been diagnosed with a fertility problem? If you truly cant get pregnant, take joy in knowing there IS a child,or two, out there that would love to call you mommy. Adoption or surrogace can help you create your family. Dont loose hope, pray and have faith.
