    I am 48 and we just adopted after years of our own fertility issues. I’m currently gazing at my 8 day old daughter and I’ve never been happier. I wish you all the luck on your journey however you decide to move forward. And you don’t owe anyone an explanation.

      Adoption is a whole other hard decision but I agree with you, it can be beautiful. I suffered with infertility for years and now I am at an amusement park with by 8 and 9 year old sons, through adoption, from birth (I was in the delivery room with our AMAZING birth mom) and they are biologically brothers too.

When I was going thru tests and every month found out I wasn't pregnant, I became jealous of women who were, even my own sister-in-law. But I know now, with hindsight, had I become pregnant I would not have the beautiful adult children I have. God knew what He was doing I believe.

    My husband and I were never able to have children. The constant questions really got next to me. Everything you said is EXACTLY how we felt. Last year, I ended up having a total hysterectomy and discovered that I would have never gotten pregnant naturally. I had some deformities that were never discovered. I guess God really had it in His plan for us to not have children. Now we have embraced being childless. We have a dog we spoil rotten now. Much love to y’all! ❤

IVF had triggered my undiagnosed endometriosis and it quickly went to stage 4 and spread like wildfire through my body. I went from healthy, functioning, being in talks of placement of baby girls (sisters) to one surgery after the other for the past 4 years. Now 5 years down the line I've lost my uterus and ovaries, my health is completely shot, there's inoperable endo that has completed destroyed my body where the function of my left leg is in jeopardy.
    I feel like we missed the train. 😢 The heartbreak of not being a mom will forever be in my heart. 💔
    As I know you have endo, I absolutely get if that makes you hesitant of going down the IVF route. It's definitely a risk with endo, and there are unfortunately many like me with this outcome.

      My greatest wish for the longest time was also to have a family, to be surrounded by life and hope for the future, and to be able to give someone the care that I never got. It feels weird when that longing expires and a brutal reality takes over. That being said, if you are able to let it go, something new and amazing will find you. I have a new magical life now, different from what I ever expected or wanted, and yet surprisingly better and deeper than any of it. Sending you prayers that you find your truest joy and purpose ❤ Much love!

    I can relate so much. I’ll be 44 later this year and have mourned the loss of ever becoming a Mom. In 2018 I was diagnosed with cancer and I’m currently fighting cancer for the 3rd time. Treatment has put me into premature menopause. We came to terms with our reality. Then in June, my treatment team said I was pregnant. Turns out it was a false positive (which is exceptionally rare.) But it brought back all the emotions that I thought I had worked through.
    However, my husband and I have decided we want to be Willy Wonka. We want to find those kids who are driven and passionate and pour into their lives. We plan to mentor them, help them with school (or other resources) and ultimately we plan to leave our modest estate to some kid who is currently a stranger.

Thank you for inspiring me to keep some pictures of myself as a child around. I have always struggled with horrible self-talk, chronically really...and I'll try anything to think of myself even just a little better... I'm trying to purge the negative from my life each day and maybe asking myself if I would say those things to the little girl in the picture will help, it's worth a try!
