Can I be pregnant as I was told I can't have children?

Question

I am 34 and recently got married, I've always wanted to have a family but was told that I wouldn't be able to have a child without IVF (which I've not had yet) My last period was 18th September 2006 and now I feel kind of strange, my lower back is aching and I've got niggly pains in my stomach kind of like a stitch, I sometimes feel nauseous and my mouth fills up with water like im going to be sick but im not, I've got a funny taste in my mouth and my urine has gone quite a dark yellow colour (sorry!) my breasts don't hurt as such but sometimes there is a tingle in them, I just wondered if anyone else had experienced any symptoms like this. Thanks

Answer 1

go see your gp, thats the only way, coz u dont know if there's something really wrong.

Answer 2

I was told the same thing.

I was married to my ex hubby for 10 years and never managed to conceive.

We divorced in 2004 and after 18 months of trying with my new partner unsuccessfully, I was told that with my endometriosis and my partner's low sperm count our only hope was IVF.

As we had no way of paying the £4,000 private fees for private IVF we decided to put our name down on the NHS waiting list, which is 3 years long in our area. We guessed we'd just have to forget about kids until then - even then we'd only get one go at IVF so if that failed we wouldn't be able to have kids.

And then I started getting strange symptoms in March this year - period pains well before my period was due, sore boobs, very tired and very nauseous, plus my emotions were all over the place.

It turned out I ws pregnant. I'm now 33 weeks!

My BF's mum was also told she'd never have kids. She only found out she was expecting my BF when her clothes started getting tight! She was nearly 4 months gone.

It can happen, and your symptoms do sound like early pregnancy symptoms. Maybe do a test as your period would be due about now so it should be the right time to test.

Doctor's are not always 100% accurate, but at the same time you shouldn't get your hopes up just yet. Since even over the counter tests have been known to give false readings, you're best bet would be to visit your doctor and have some test run to be sure if you're pregnant or not. It's the only way you'll find out for 100% sure.

Answer 4

Why don't you go and do a test or get checked out at your doctor, my sisters friend was told she couldn't get pregnant, so she had sucessful IVF, she decided to go through it again then discovered she had got pregnant naturally, so it can happen, I hope for you it has, good luck.

Answer 5

My wife (X) had the flu for a fortnight when I had enough of her whinging I took her to the docs only to find out she was pregnant, she was told at 15 she would not be a mother due to some cysts on her ovairies. so pregnancy was not an issue till then!
Hello Katrina dad loves you.

Answer 6

If I were you I'd do a test and find out for definite! I know two couples who were told they'd never have kids naturally but went on to have healthy children so it can be possible, but don't torment yourself - find out for sure. Good luck.x

Answer 7

Yes you can still get pregnant even if you're told you can't. Best to get it checked out either by a home test or see your GP. Fingers crossed!

Answer 8

Go to your doctors or do a pregnancy test. Women can have many different feelings/symptoms, they do vary greatly.

Answer 9

I had a friend who was told she could never have children and when she went for a pap she was preggie and argued with the Dr.

Answer 10

Doctors are not gods. They make mistakes. My neice's mom was told she would never concieve. My neice is now going on 8 years old.

Answer 11

Doctors aren't always right you could well be pregnant i will keep my fingers crossed for you good luck.
