My name is gabrielle. In 2010 I was informed that my chances of conceiving or even carry a child to term was slim to none. I had an HSG to confirm along with blood work pelvic exam and other things. HSG showed that both tubes are blocked due to scar tissue from an appendectomy where I set up gang green at the age of 14. This has been such a hard thing to understand for me. I dont understand why and that hurts the most. My husband has been so supportive of me and is always there for me. I would so much love to be able to have the surgery to remove my scar tissue so that I may be able to conceive but I have no health insurance and in my state infertility is not even covered by health insurance so it will all be out of pocket expenses. My husband and I are doing the best we can to save to get the money to make my dreams come true. I hope one day God blesses me with a bundle of joy. The hardest part of this struggle was this past year. My sister who is younger than me informed me that she was expecting. I had so much resentment towards her. I didnt even want to talk to her. Needless to say I am now extremely happy for her and so blessed to have a beautiful blue eyed red headed nephew. If anyone knows anything I can do whether it something doctors have told you or even remedies that may help I would love to hear them. Thank you for your time

Hi missie
June 21, 2014 - 2:21pmwe have talked about adoption but we are wanting to try what we can first. Adoption has never been out of the question for us. All children need a loving home and I know we could provide that whether it be our own flesh and blood or through adoption.

Gabrielle,
Adoption is always a great option since there are many kids that need good homes. If you are wanting to still try for your own first, it is expensive so be prepared for that idea. The first step is simply going to see a fertility doctor to weigh your options. I wish you the best of luck and please keep us posted.

Hi Gabrielle,
Thank you for sharing your story and welcome to Empowher. You are not the only woman who has an infertility story to share. It can be an emotional roller coaster to say the least.
Most insurance companies will not help with infertility issues and your out of pocket expenses can be astronomical. Have you and your husband considered adoption? There are plenty of children that are seeking the love of a good family. I know it is different than having your own flesh and blood but if there is simply no possibility, you can always provide a child with a loving home and family life.
Best of luck to you and your husband. My thoughts are with you.
