How do married couples coupe with the possibility of never having a child due to infertility?

Fertility can become a big issue and something like 25% of couples who undergo and fail fertility treatments end in divorce. For those couples who remain together--myself and husband included--have learned to lean on each other to cope with the pain and together we're learning to accept it. Many of the other posters say adoption--not all infertility patients want to adopt. It's a very personal choice.How do married couples coupe with the possibility of never having a child due to infertility?
If it's your own natural child you want, you should adopt and turn all your frustrations over infertility into devotion and dedication to this child that would be homeless and unloved, if you hadn't come along.How do married couples coupe with the possibility of never having a child due to infertility?
Consider adoption. There are kids out there who need parents. You guys are wannabe parents with no kids. It's a perfect match.
me and my husband tryed for 8 years. doctor told us we could never get pregnant not even if we did ivf. I just had my first baby 3 months ago!! So dont give up. and I know it can be hard on the marriage, maybe you cold adopt or do emergancy reciving. or maybe you can join a support group for people who cant have kids. Good luck
at first it was hard it broke my heart i lost 2 children i started to have sex for just trying to get pregnant





then i resigned my self to the fact i am never having kids again so i started to enjoy my partners company the closeness of him instead of just having sex to get pregnant well i am no longer bothered so in DEC 06 we go for our first meeting to adopt.





don't get me wrong it was not easy coming to that conclusion however i feel better for it
As the other members have mentioned there is the option of Adoption although I guess its a long drawn out affair. But I'm sure very worth it!


Or some ppl may be just as happy being a big part of their nieces or nephews lives. Maybe the option of fostering children is a way to go too. This way you are really 'giving' to a child/ren in need and gaining great satisfaction too:-)
Consider internatinal adoption. The cost ranges from $15,000 - $50,000 depending on country. There are so many children abroad who need good homes and unlike adoption in the US the waiting is usually only a few months to a year. There is also less worry about FAS and the mother or father changing their minds. There are a lot of adoption agencies and social workers who assist with international adoption.
well, you could go to a proffesional doctor, that would put sperm into your wife but i am not really sure if he could put YOUR sperm in her or if it would have to be a sperm donation.





also, maybe you should adopt!!!
After a lot of grieving/trying and getting second opinions they learn to accept it and decide to go for adoption!!





It must be really hard, but once they adopt a child they learn to love them as if it was their own....God Bless!!
It hurts in all ways if that is something that a couple wants but if you havent went the whole nine yards thats getting ivf dont give up
My wife and I could not be happier. I know this is probably against the norm.
By not being so shallow as to not think that they could adopt, there are lots of kids that need a good home.
It's very hard to cope with this situation, but it's a fact and nothing can change that. If they really want children, they should consider adopting.
We are happy cause we know that if it's God's will then it will be done. If not, there are other options like adoption or even foster care.
