No, then apparently my doctors are since that is what I was referred to do.

You have to take your health into your own hands by doing your own research and not just follow referrals without educating yourself.

Endocrinologists treat PCOS, not gynecologists, not fertility specialists. The most logical step is to treat the cause of your infertility---PCOS.

You need an endocrinologist.

Treating your PCOS is good for your overall health. It will improve your quality of life and you could eventually conceive naturally too.

Like I said in an earlier post, because of my upbringing I don't see the difference in how you get a child. Did my mother get some joy out of feeling my baby kick and being in the room when he was born? Sure. But that was just as much about her loving and supporting me as it was about experiencing her first live birth.

When I look back and reflect on my sons growing up I remember their first words, their first steps, my oldest holding my hand all the time so I would't be scared, my youngest picking me dandelions and running them over to me because I loved flowers. I remember the first days of school, their little lunch money in their pocket. Their last days of school and being in absolute awe of the men they had become.

The last thing I think about is feeling them kick or being pregnant. I relish their lives. Every second of their lives growing up is a beautiful moment and much, much more precious to me than my pregnancies. They are an after thought.

Actually, I hated the "feeling them kick and move" part of pregnancy because it reminded me of the movie Alien! .

If she wants to experiance pregnancy and doesnt want to adopt then that is her own business. She already stated she did not want to adopt so that option is out any further mention of it is pointless as she is not considering it.

I could have done without the 40 hours of labor.

Then perhaps you should have adopted?

Since she can't receive fertility treatments, she has two choices:

1) Adoption
2) Remaining Childless

It's a simple fact. I didn't create the facts. It is what it is.


If she treats her underlying disease, she may be able to conceive children naturally.

If she finds a partner, her insurance will pay for fertility treatments.

As her life is right now, adoption is THE ONLY WAY she can have children.

As I said earlier, I was not even remotely thinking about having a baby and got pregnant.
