I just wanted to say its nice to know there are others out there just like me. I have friends with fertility issues but none like me (my husband isn't able to have kids). This was the hardest news I've gotten in my entire life. I hope you all have successes and wish no one had to go through this. Thanks for sharing your stories and being supportive.

    I know how you feel. It was the worst news I have gotten too. My husband was embarassed so I couldn't tell anyone about our struggles. Try to stay positive, things will work out for you. We now have 2 precious children that we both adore.

    Hang in there. It was really hard when we found out that my husband could not have any children. I also couldn't to talk about it with anyone as he was so upset and embarrassed. We used Fairfax and have the most amazing little girl now. We both talk about how lucky we are to have her. I was worried that he would not feel good about it and maybe reject her despite what he said, but I was so very wrong. He is a great dad and just adores her. We agreed that we would not change a thing--even our infertility--because we would then not have our girl. You will get the baby you were meant to have. It may not come the way you imagined and there will be some bumps in the road but it will still be perfect.

    Thank you. It's been tough and I also have not wanted to talk about it. It is hard too when you see some people practically blink and get pregnant. It's nice to hear people that have kids like you and how things are after the baby comes. I have tried to imagine how that will be. If people say she/he looks like their daddy. I guess you just smile. Thanks for the encouragement and sharing some of what you've been through. It gives me hope.

    Thank you for sharing your story. It is so sweet and inspiring to hear what you said about your little girl! Congrats and many blessings!
