My Fertility Quest
Hi, My name is Charlene. I’m new to this group and to Alabama. I am 34 years old (talk about clock ticking!) About 2 years ago, my husband and I found out we were 6 weeks pregnant. We were so elated, only to find out at the appointment to see our baby’s heartbeat that we were ectopic, and would have to undergo emergency surgery. In the process, not only did I lose the baby, but lost my left fallopian tube also. Almost a year and a half of trying later, we found out we were pregnant again, by some sort of miracle. We were progressing along quite nicely in the pregnancy (almost 5 months) when we were hit by an irresponsible driver, and I ended up losing our twins we were carrying. Despite all this tragedy, we still keep trying.

Charlene,
Good for you, girl. Keep trying. You have amazing strength.
Just wanted to say welcome to the great state of Alabama. Where the humidity and heat drips like a very leaky faucet, most of the year

Umm…I don’t even know what to say to that. Your story brought tears to my heart and eyes.
I’m a transplant to this area too. I’m an upstate New Yorker. You should come to our next meeting. We have a great time. You can email Kellie or myself.

Charlene, I am so sorry for the things you’ve been through in your quest to become a mom. I don’t even know what to say. Just know that you now have a new group of women in your corner, cheering you on and holding your hand as you continue on. I really hope to meet you soon. In the meantime, if you ever want to talk, I’m here.
