better late than never
I've been posting on this board for several months and never formally introduced myself. So here it is.
I am 36 soon to be 37. I married my DH on Oct 3, 2009. He is not the natural father of my DD but he is her daddy in every other since of the word.
I was blessed to have my DD naturally after being told that I wouldn't be able to concieve naturally. I had a botched surgery as an infant and one of my overies was damaged and then I had the misfortune of getting a severe case of the chicken pox at 21 as a result there was a lot of internal scaring of my uterus and fallopian tubes among other places. The damage was so bad that the gyn and a specialist said that if I didn't get pregnant right away I would probably never be able to get pregnant.
I tried desperately for 10 years to get pregnant. After I had given up on trying and gave my body a 5 year sabatical (I know that's a long time but I needed it) and had started reserching adoption I got pregnant with my DD. She was such a total surprise that even when I looked like I had swallowed a basketball my family found it hard to believe I was pregnant. I met my DH when DD was 6 months. We got married shortly after her 2nd B-day. My DH and I are trying for our second and have only recently decided to start saving for a RE. I had really hoped for another miracle but I don't think waiting 15 years for it would be a good idea since that would make me 52 at conception. I know it's been done but I don't want to be the one to do it.
Any way, thank you ladies for welcoming me with such open arms. M. Echols
