If you are faced with the blunt truth from your doctor that you have exhausted all the efforts to treat your infertility issues, surgeries are not an option, then you have to decide if you are going to give up there or not. You had decided long ago that you wanted a family; you planned, decorated a nursery, and made all the necessary changes to your lifestyle to accommodate the little one. With the news from the doctor that you can not conceive and have a child of your own, will you give up on your dream of a family?
Do Not Give Up
There are other options available to you; the assisted reproductive technology offers several methods that will still help you in becoming pregnant. You may have to use donor eggs, or donor sperm depending on your situation, but if it is a possibility to actually carry the child and it be genetically linked to you or your mate, then this option may be for you. About two thirds of couple that start treatment for artificial reproduction will be successful, there may need to be more than one attempt and there are no guarantees, but the success rate is getting higher as more and more advanced technology is becoming available.
If you are unable to carry a child to term, then your option could be with a surrogate, this is someone who will be inseminated with your embryo and carry the child for you, you will not experience being pregnant, but your end result will be a child that is genetically linked to you and your mate, there are also options for a surrogate using donor eggs, or donor sperm as well if that is a necessary step.
If none of these options seem appealing to you and you still want a family, adoption is a wonderful way to show your love to a child in need, it is a win, win, situation, you get to start the family you want and deserve and the child get a family that will love him or her and provide a wonderful life for them.
What ever you decide to be the best option for you and the start of your family, the main thing is to not give up. There are many hurdles you will have to go through in life to succeed so having a child should not be avoided just because it was not as easy as you thought it would be.
You have plenty to offer a child, you have planned for your family, where most have not and you will provide a good life for a child and be great parents, so as hard as it may seem at times, do not deprive a child of a family like the one you have to offer.
The child may have his eyes or your nose, maybe the child will not look like either of you, but the one thing the child and you will have in common is love, love for each other, after all, your family.
