Once we are married, and we decide to start planning our family, I will be in for a *lot* of fertility treatments.
Warning: TMI factor
I was severely anorexic for many, many years. As a result, I didn't go through puberty like most girls, and my uterus didn't fully develop.
Nonetheless, I became pregnant accidentally a little over 2 years ago, and miscarried because my body wasn't able to sustain the pregnancy. I was told then that if I ever wanted to carry a child to full-term, I would need a LOT of help.
My fiance and I have talked a lot about this, and about what our options are. We've talked about adoption, but both feel it isn't for us. We're not really even sure right now when we are going to want a child.... but I am going to go through the treatments in case we do get a suprise before we plan for it! I want to give that child an opportunity to be born, whereas my other child was not.
So, the short of it is... I am VERY much in favour of it.
