I'm so sorry to hear about your PID. That's not something I've experienced myself, but I do know what it's like to receive bad news or test results from the doctor which shatter what you thought your future was going to be. I will tell you that for me everything sounds so scary and unthinkable at first. Fertility treatments, IVF, I thought- NO this isn't how it was supposed to go! I can't do this! And then you somehow find yourself doing it. It's important to let yourself grieve. Cry and get angry. (This is a great place to do it!) Then one step at a time these things don't seem so impossible or terrible. Easier said than done, I know. As far as your chances with IVF, I'm sure that's true in general, but I wouldn't let the numbers scare you. Doctors rattle off those statistics and it's so easy to get hung up on them. I see tons of women in their 40's getting pregnant through IVF. Everyone is different of course, but don't get discouraged right away by "the numbers." That doesn't tell the whole story. I think that since your ovaries and uterus are normal you have a lot going for you!
But that doesn't diminish the pain you are going through right now. Hang in there and know that you are not alone in this!

Mkpatz,

Thank you so much for your kind words, insight and advice. I was in tears when I read your response. This was definitely not the future I had planned for myself. It was such a huge shock to learn about my PID because I'm healthy and I genuinely feel good physically but not always mentally due to my anxiety and paranoia. This just heightened my anxiety to the max and now I'm depressed too... It's just so much.. Too much to take all in. I'm completely devastated and disappointed in my body!

But I guess it doesn't hurt to try IVF but I'm only doing it one time... I don't want additional stress if it doesn't work. It's so hard to be positive now. I used to be optimistic but this makes feel empty inside...

Thanks again... ((Hugs))

I have the same case with you; I was tortured by this disease for a long time. But several months ago I had the good fortune to chat with my friends and she recommended a kind of traditional Chinese medicine named Fuyan pill to me. Thanks God my condition started to get better and never pain, I will continue to take it and I am a lot more hopeful with the help of the herbals medications. It is high safety for women because it has no side effects.

Hi I'm glad that you did not harm yourself. I don't have your exact condition but I have been trying to conceive for over 12 years. In that time my husband and I have adopted 6 boys. I love my children very much I can't say that it replaces that want or desire to have your own biological children, but it does bring a joint in your life. There are so many children in the world that need love. My husband and I have a child of Our Own 5 years ago today. He lived 18 days and passed away. But even before that we had already adopted all of our other boys, and they are would help me to get through that difficult time. Now it's been three years since we are trying again and nothing yet but I'm holding to my faith and trusting in God. Because I believe that all things are working for my good.

Jayon, I am so sorry for your loss but also so happy for your gains, 6 to be exact. It is so frustrating knowing I have this illness and there is no reversing it. Coping everyday can be difficult. I hope you get your baby but if you don't, you still have 6 babies that love you not because you have birth to them but because you chose to love them unconditionally. :-)

Erin, I will def look into that. Thank you!
