If you are childless not by choice, what challenges do you usually face ?

My husband and I have been trying to have children for over a year now and we just don't seem to be doing something right. People who are ready for children and can't seem to have them have a tendency to feel a very big void in their lives.

May challenges, but I would think the two biggest challenges would be accepting and dealing with the reasons why you do not have a child and secondly the challenges you face in trying to become a parent again, either through trying to get pregnant or adopting.

It was really hard during the three years we tried to conceive. I hated it when people said, "Oh, you don't want kids." It was like a death sentence. Why would I not want them? I was trying so hard :(( Too hard...
I ended up having a miscarriage, but a year after the miscarriage I was pregnant and had my son in March. My doc told me I'd not be have to conceive on my own. And, if by chance we did, the child would be at risk for a miscarriage and other abnormalities.
But, I'm now almost nine weeks pregnant. And, bitter with the doctor's words. I'm convinced this child is perfectly healthy and I was fed a line to get me back in that office for more expensive fertility treatments.

I don't have kids, didn't want kids and the PCOS that I was recently diagnosed with helps w/ not being able to have them. I'm now on medication for the PCOS that could possilbly allow me to have kids, however, I had an IUD installed today to prevent that as well.

I have three four legged "fur kids." But we are trying to adopt, so hopefully we won't be (human) childless forever!

Usually it's lake of ovulation, blocked tubes, scarred uterus or weak lining, hormonal imbalance or malnutrition. All of which can be treated. If you are near 40 or over and you are infertile it can be expensive and emotionally depleting so don't wait to get help.

That was a very vague question,Dear. That could be in reference to having lost a child or inability to bear child.

No. I am childfree.
The only challenge is keeping people (friends, family, and complete strangers) out of my business.

We are in our 50s and never had children. Never felt mature enough for the responsibility.

Yes, and for the moment I'm ok with it since I could not afford it!
