If you or a friend are "childless, not by choice" please read

Hello everyone. I'm new here and am looking for other women to communicate with who've not had any children and hysterectomy caused that not to happen. I feel like we are a "breed apart" and truly need one another. I'm working on a website for us all to meet in and utilize. After looking on the internet there's not much out there for us. I was 36 and had to have my total hyst. due to a very severe case of endometriosis. The doctor chose to "save my life" as he put it. Please post me a message and maybe we can all join efforts for our sakes!

There is a forum right here on Hyster Sisters:Click Here to go to this forum

Hi Mrsdzbl,

I am 31, have never had children, and will be having a partial hyst Monday (leaving ovaries). Although I realize that I will never be able to bear children, I know that I will be able to have children - whether though IVF+surrogacy, donor eggs, adoption and/or being a foster parent.

I think it would be really great to have a forum on your board that focuses upon non traditional means of having children for women who have had this surgery. While post-hyst women do lose the ability to bear children, I really do believe that all can still achieve their dreams of having a child to love. And, it would be great to be able to share our knowledge, information and stories.



Hugs,
Chellise

I was so happy when I found this section, but see that no one has posted here for two years. This is my situation exactly and I am devastated. I would LOVE to talk to women who are experiencing or have experienced something similar. I need all the help I can get right now and will keep looking.

Dear Kimber,

Hyster Sisters does have an active forum called Aching Hearts . Click onto the underlined link and it takes you right there.

Please don't feel alone - there are many sisters who feel the same way - you are not alone.
