:hug3: I understand and empathize more than I can say… except I have NO idea when to expect the end. I’m 49 and the only person in my extended family (siblings, cousins) who has made it this far without a hysterectomy, except for my grandmother who gave birth to her last child at 48.I’m going to be a loner on this but I’d be thankful it was all finally over! Infertile couples deal with menopause symptoms their whole reproductive lives! I like be kids and wanted a dozen. But the Lord had other plans and I’m just so ready to be done with all the useless female symptoms that have done absolutely nothing (save one single miraculous cycle) but cause me mental and physical anguish all my girlhood and now my adulthood. I will praise the Lord in heaven when I finally am spared of this excruciatingly painful cross of infertile fertility and painful endometriosis. (Amen!)
Most people are spared that grief during their years of reproduction, so they go through it later in life. I guess God makes us all go through it, just at different times of our lives.
That being said my mom was in her late fifties, so looks like I’m doomed for another couple of decades!
:console: Sorry you have had to go through this too!
My Dad was born in 1934 first born to a mom born in 1888. She thought it was the change of life as well. Until the day she felt him kick.
I also married late and had my one and only daughter who I love so much and glad I didn’t want to have her but got pregnant fast. I have back problems, so I had another surgery when my daughter was 2 years old. I have to say that I wanted more kids and yes, I cried, and I cried every time I saw a mother with a baby. That happened for a year and than I accepted it. I still wish I could have more children, but I can’t and I will be 50 years old next month. My daughter is 15 and lonely. She is shy and doesn’t have many friends. She is lonely and wished I had another child.
