I am 22 years old and just found out from my doctor that I am infertile and will not be able to conceive children. I am devastated, my world has shattered. All I ever wanted out of life was to get married and have my own children. I don't want to adopt. I want to die right now.
 
This is a tough time for anyone to go through. It's something that you are going to have to accept right now and move forward. Adoption and IBF are options down the track and i'm sure that you will think about this in later life. For now just concentrate on what your doing now like being young and just remember that there is so much for you to look forward to later on in life. You don't want to die because there are a lot more things that you are not valuing in your life at the moment that you will lose. Just keep busy on being young and let this worry you when you are older and more wise to make decisions. Good luck mate I know the pain.
 
Oh my gosh. I am so very sorry... I cannot imagine what you must be going through. Is there any way you could get a second opinion? Was this your family doctor or a gynaecologist?
Did he give you any explanations or reasons for his diagnosis? If it were me, I would try to research everything I could on my condition and see if there were any other options or treatments available.
I know someone who had endometriosis and they told her she couldn't conceive children. She went to another doctor and he helped her and she ended up getting pregnant.
I would definitely get a second opinion and not give up just yet because of one doctor's diagnosis. Here is some good news. You are very young. Who knows what type of treatment they are going to have in the next few years to help women who have infertility. Medicine is advancing so quickly these days. There are other options like IVF too that you can think about. Don't give up just yet. Get that second opinion and go from there. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
 
Hey...chin up things could be worse. Cancer, Aids, Paralysis....Life has delt you a hard hand....right now things look dim and worthless...but things happen for reasons and they are always good reasons that are just hard to grasp in the moment. Don't let this get you down and prevent you from achieving your dreams. Many have biological parents that mean nothing. Being a true mommy or daddy comes from the love and nurture you show. There are options for you don't close the door on them now. Pick your self up.....dust yourself off and move forward even stronger.....luvs
