Has anyone conceived after finding out you had premature ovarian failure?

Question

I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure (which is where you basically go through an early menopause and your ovaries just stop producing eggs) and my husband and I would like to have a baby so bad but I don't know if there is any chance that a miracle would happen or not. My mother in law thinks that once we get stronger in the church and accept God we will be able to conceive, I don't agree because it is a medical problem and not a God controlled issue. Also how do you deal with all these teenagers getting pregnant and just being to immature and having an abortion. I don't know how to completely deal with this. I have a baby shower to go to this weekend and I am not sure how to hide my emotions that it should be me.

Ya, okay skip the talk with the M.I.L., that one is a waste of time.

As far as getting pregnant, you need to talk to a Reproductive Endocrinologist and find out just what your options are. First off, is your body in complete failure or are there still viable eggs, but limited? If so, is Invitro an option. Than is egg donation a direction you want to look at, or embryo adoption. And than adoption of a child or living child-free.

But first things first, where does the specialist stand. You need to know your physical options and than address your personal situation.

As for the grief. I would like you to look at two things, first is my web page called 'Dealing with loss Due to Infertility at http://diju.tripod.com/loss.html, second, you may want to look in to fertility coaching or as I prefer 'Family Planning Coaching'
