Ha.
Everyone tells me it was perfect that I married someone 5 years younger than me, saying I do not look my age. (Now we’re both old in our 40s–he finally got to those 40s with me.) 😉 Always fun to think about when I was 5 and in kindergarten, he was just born. When I graduated high school–he was 13! Now, it doesn’t really matter.

I have PCOS too. And while it didn’t bother me that I needed medication to get pregnant with my son, there are a ton of other PCOS/pregnancy/baby-related things that got me really upset. I haven’t accomplished anything related to babies naturally. I’m getting to the point where I’m less upset and more REALLY thankful for modern science that helped me to be a mom and raise a healthy baby boy.

And now I realize that all came out more preachy than I had intended. I guess my point is that you’re not alone.i totally understand the struggle and all the emotions that go along with it. I hope that you become a mama soon!

Have read every word of your blog and there is no doubt in my
82 year old mind that you are a special, sensitive and wonderful
young lady! Hang in there dear.

People can be rude. I usually get younger and my husband much older, but I’m actually older than him. Don’t get too stressed! I had a huge issue with treatments too. But after I decided I wouldn’t let anyone push me into ivf, or iui, and just do the stuff to do ovulation I was okay. We told re it was against our beliefs for iui and ivf, and it was a huge weight off for both of us. I just don’t understand why so many re docs want to do iui for pcos. *hugs*

In reply to Katrina. I've always been told that I sound younger than I am and I've always been told that I look younger than I am until this year haha. This year has been the year of being accused of being way older haha. I have people all the time that call the office and tell me that I don't sound old enough to be out of highschool. hahaha

In reply to Becca @ It's Yummi. <3 I'm not sure what it is. Maybe I just give off the "I'm a old lady mom" vibe hahaha

In reply to Carolyn. Hi Carolyn! We have not been tested yet for that, but this is my last year of trying on our own. I've been tested for other things pertaining too it though. After my 31st birthday in June if we're unable to do it on our own by then I will be setting up appointments. Thank you so much for writing. <3 I know that your friend probably loves your children and grandchildren so much but I understand the emptiness that is right along side of the love for them. We have looked into adoption a bit. It seems that most are so expensive. We had high hopes of a local adoption in the past but the mother changed her mind.

Angie, I know that I just signed up for your blog. But in one sense of the word, I know what it is like to be asked or told that you are someone’s mother. My best friend and I have decided to live together, because we are both widows. When we meet new people they ask if I am her mother….I am turning 60 this year and she is 62. You will be in my prayers, that the Lord gives you and your husband a chance to be REAL PARENTS. I am a great grandmother and have custody of my first great granddaughter that is 7. But my friend that I am living with was not blessed with children of her own either. So, I realize the agonizing looks and some of the feelings you are going through, by watching her with my children. Reading your blog, you have not stated whether or not you or your husband has been medically checked, but if it turns out that one of you can not have children, there are many women out there that are pregnant and do NOT want that blessing. May God be with you and your husband.

Angie, there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to help you kick the crud out of the insensitive jerk of the world! The best thing to do is to keep that adorable smile on your face and know that you are flipping gorgeous… outside AND inside.
Oh, and tat gorgeous heart of yours WILL be full of love for your own child some day… I don’t know how or when, but wow, will that child be blessed with an incredible mother. <3
