So glad I found this forum!

Hello everyone,
I just found this forum, and so glad I did as there seem to be lots of people feeling like me at the moment. We are waiting until April 2011 to try for a baby, partly because of financial reasons and also because I had to have chemotherapy almost 2 years ago and have had to wait until 2 years is up before I can try for a baby. Even now, I don't know if I can conceive because of the chemo may have affected all that. I can't talk to anyone about it except for my husband and I am not sure that he really understands sometimes. I guess its a woman thing. I am worried about getting my hopes up in case I cant have a baby, but I am trying to think positive thoughts. I am on the pill at the moment, but planning to come off it in April. My doctor has said that I can have a scan to see if my ovaries are producing eggs. I know nothing about ovulation, or anything, so hopefully trying to pick up a few bits of info here.

It is nice to get all this off my chest (sorry for the long post), its just that I don;t have anyone to talk to. All my friends are pregnant or having babies at the moment, and while I am happy for them, I feel really jealous too, which is horrible.

Thank you for listening

hello and welcome :wave:
sorry to hear that uve had to have chemo i hope all is clear there now
i think u are right its deffo a woman thing, although men try to understand i dont think they ever truely understand and knows how it feels. I hope that u will be able to have children, its still questionable whether i will be able to carry a child as i have a back condition so i understand its hard not knowing.

It's great having other women to talk about these feelings, and issues with.

Sorry to hear about needing Chemo therapy. I'm glad that your 2 year wait is nearly over; Just a couple months to go! Yay!
