There is a lot behind this so bare with me… I suffer from bi-polar disorder and when not on medication, I’m out of it to put it nicely. I’ve been stable for 4 years on meds that work fantastically well for me. The downside is I had to be put on birth control because the side effects were terrible (ie strong risk of death of the baby, some risk of my own death). Some of you may wonder why I was on these meds, but after years of searching for some that worked, these were the ones. Anyway, we thought of adoption but after looking into it, the chances of allowing a bi-polar woman to adopt is slim. I’ve been scared of wanting a child because I didn’t want to go off my meds but my doctor has told me that as long as I get off the one that causes the risk and reduce my dose of the one I really need, I will be fine!! The one I really need has a really safe history, it’s just the other. I told my husband this and he actually said he thinks we should try!! In the past he has always said no. There is a lot of prep work involved, making sure I’m okay with being off the one and seeing if it works as well but if it does, then we are going to try! I’m so happy!!! I never thought this could happen to me! I thought I’d be childless for the rest of my life! I’ve prayed about this and it seems it’s falling into place! Thank The Lord!! I’m so happy I had to share!
