I guess I joined supportgroups.com because I wanted to find someone/peoplethat truly understand what I'm going through and to learn ways of how other people are dealing with the same situation. I thought after some time it would get easier to accept my pof diagnosis but it hasn't. I still feel a horrible sense of loss and uncertainty. Our options to become parents are 1. IVF with donor eggs and 2. Adoption. Our first preference is IVF but would definetly adoption if IVF was no longer available to me. We haven't as of yet started treatment because as you may know....IVF, adoption and everything that comes with it isn't very cheap or guaranteed. We are trying to prepare financially, because I'm not one to dive into anything without a plan. It's been two and a half yrs since I learned I had pof and was told my chance of conceiving naturally was 1 in a million. I need some encouragement or advice from someone who can relate or knows what we should expect. I'd love to hear success stories because no matter what I still hold on to some hope that we still have a chance to conceive naturally. Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me and I appreciate and welcome all responses. Best of luck to you all, and please feel free to share.

idk if i can give u a success story, but thought that i would atleast coment and just to say that you are not alone. i thought that i was the only one that has pof/premature menapause. the fert dr that we went to this past week said that only way that i could get preg is if my hubby and i had an egg donor or could always adopt. we both feel wierd taking care of another persons kid. the fert. dr said that we have a 70 % chance of the egg donors working, but there is always that chance wher it wont work. plus it is expensive 15-20000. so i think just goin to get bw done incase there is something else wrong with me. (have some other signs of other stuff). so ya i feel like in the same boat as you. also, and u think to yourself why is god punishing us? i mean u see people that are unwed that they get knocked up and they dont even want a kid, or teenagers. or u see friends and family have the "perfect life" with there whole family complete. and it hurts, makes me sick, i guess in a way, jealous. if u are meant to have a child whether ivf or adoption then god will make a way. i know that i need to take my own advice lol. i hope things get better for u.
