August 29, 2014 at 12:14 amThank you for sharing! I am 34 and also reniizlag I am limited in ways I didn’t think I’d ever have to think about. I’ve been diagnosed with endometrial polyps that, while they can be removed, it won’t be a guarantee that pregnancy will come easily once they’re gone. And it means another surgery in addition to one I’ve already had that found nothing wrong with me. I like to be open with others about my fertility issues because the more I talk about it, the more others start to pipe up and say, Me, too! Maybe not the same exact situations, but the same feeling of wanting to be a parent and being frustrated, scared, hopeless and even sometimes feeling judged by others. It IS healing to talk about it so thank you for sharing your story!
