New Addtion
As the evening draws to as end I sit here and wonder how others feel about a single woman such as myself wanting another child at 40. Some I am sure would say that I have one and that should be enough especially as there are so many who cannot even have one. 😮
Well I know what that feels like as I have endometrosis and getting pregnant the 1st time was a blessing as doctors had told me at 20 years old “You will never have children”. There was no gentle breaking of the news, no sorry I was left in a room to deal with the news and for a time I kept this to myself but when I finally told my own family I was able to explain the reason for the doctors diagnosis. Yet still I said “Docotrs have been known to be wrong”
I was later told that I could apply for IVF treatment but when I mother became ill I took the decision to put er 1st and at least I can say I did right by her and the family as she is still here and able to see that she has produced a fighter and I am. 😀
So it may seem selfish to some that I could want one more child but I am a good person and I think a good mother and if I’d been like others in my own family I would have had more children the normal way but I cannot which is Y I am here. 🙂
My son would love a brother or sister and if he had his way both in one go lol although I’d be content with just one more but all because I am single does not mean I should give up thats how losers think and I was never one of those.
your thoughts ❓

Hi, I don’t think you are selfish for wanting a sibling for your little one! My close friend has bad endometriosis also, but luckilly she doesnt want children. I have heard not only would it be hard to become pregnant but also painful for her. I myself had crohn’s disease, which could be tricky when I become pregnant. I wish you all the best, and I hope you’ve had some luck finding a donor.
My ex-flatmate and a good friend literally conspired to become pregnant, using one-night stands an d short-term boyfriends. Which is another way to go about it, but I personally think she was devious and she hasn’t really thought it through. She is now 8 weeks pregnant though, so I guess she got what she wanted.
Are you in the US? There is a much better network of sperm banks there, as they pay for donation I presume. In New Zealand where I am it’s all voluntary and extremely hard to find someone, and when ou do they’re often not serious or they offer “natural” method only.

Hi, I’ve just read about endo (big word) and feel better for reading your post. I don’t think men would have a clue unless your partner has it. Sounds painful. Hope you get your wish on here, theres a lot too learn for sure.
