A little about me.
I am a 35 year old woman & I live in central Texas. I have a fantastic husband, 3 great pets and a nice house, and the beginnings of a great Portrait business.
Even with these great things, I will forever be "Not the Mom"
I was diagnosed last November with Stage 4 Endometriosis. Which is a fancy term for really bad scar tissue. Basically the endo has fused all of my internal organs together and demolished my fallopian tubes. I saw a specialist in a major city in Tx, on Valentines day, and was pretty much told that unless i had invetro, I wasn't going to have children. I now HATE Valentines day.
So, Surgery to remove the endo is not an option cuz it would do more harm then good. Invetro is not an option, cuz hell, who can afford it without going into major debt. And My husband does not like the idea of adoption. So, I'm resigned to a life of being the *aunt* of all my friends and families kids, but never the mom.
