New board suggestion - Incurable Infertility

[sassyirishlass]

Hey!  I just moved over from the Bump today, and wanted to make a suggestion for a board I always wished they had there...incurable infertility.  I had a hysterectomy a couple years ago, so obviously, there is no way treatment is going to help me, and most infertility boards focus on treatment successes and failures.  There's a lot of garbage that comes along with having a hysterectomy when you're of childbearing age, though, and it'd be nice to have a forum where those few of us who won that lottery can discuss that stuff.  

Any one else give up on fertility entirely for their health/sanity?

Are you planning on pursuing adoption? If not the childless not by choice board would be a good fit.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your ability to carry a child, and I wish you peace on the journey

We actually have a little boy through adoption who turned 2 today. That's why I don't really feel like I completely fit in with a bunch of the boards. I'm a mom, but I'm also infertile and past the acceptance stage. And while the adoption boards are generally my go-to, we are also through the turmoil of waiting/court/stress of rejection phase.

And thank you!  I was pretty torn up a couple years ago, but these days, it'd just be nice to talk to others who have been through similar circumstances.

As a warning One and Done has quite a few on the fence about really being one and done, but some of us have had the surgery, and some are not pursuing more children for other reasons. Pretty good board though.
