They Won't Steralize Me.... Posted: 03-17-05 23:16pm
:( I have a medical condition that
prevents me from carrying to term..Or even
close to term..I have a uterus that is
kinda misformed into a heart. Once the
baby gets about twenty weeks...Or even
earliar thats about as far as I could
carry a baby. We found out with our
first baby at about twenty five
weeks...Since he had iugr he was
abnormally small so he was ok...At twenty
eight weeks we had induced labour. A
normal sized baby would have never been
able to go that long. As well, he almost
died to his preamature size. Obviously
it is not worth me trying again. Since
then we had one miscarriage....I didn't
know I was pregnant cause I took depo
provera and was about three months in...So
I guess I got pregnant probley the week I
had the shot..Which is weird because I was
on my period...But go figure. So now we
are very paranoid about getting pregnant
again due to the 99% chance I willl lose
the baby or not carry to a point the baby
will be able to live. So we decided that
one of us will get steralization. I
would prefer it would be me.
Since...Hear me out now...What if my
husband and I broke up in the next twenty
years? It is my problem medically so
obviously I can't have more babies, but
what if we split and he wants to have more
kids? Not saying we will but it weighs
on my mind...But we are thinking about him
doing it too. Here is the problem they
won't do it ....Even though we already
have a baby between us, even though it is
medically documented that I cannot carry a
baby to term, that it would be risky
mentally for me to go through all of that
again they won't do it.
So what do we do? I can never remember
the pill, I hate depo....I gain a ton of
weight on it and have no intrest in
sex....My mom got pregnant with me with
the iud...Besides I hate taking a foriegn
hormone for the rest of our lives till
menopause. Condoms suck..Sorry they
do..
Ugh....So frustrating. We are willing
even to freeze some embryos in case we
want to do surrogate mother ...But I don't
think we will because that is not very
popular up here...Adoption is probley what
we will do in a couple of years...Anyway
any suggestions?
