Thanks for the newsletter. I read it with interest.

One thing I’d like to suggest is reminding everyone with POF that while we can’t get pregnant there are other options out there and it is not the end of the world in terms of having children. Adoption,
egg donor.... these are options. Sure its not easy and it certainly doesn’t feel fair... but there are positive outcomes.

My daughter is now 22 months old. I adopted her at 4 weeks. Sure I didn’t go through pregnancy and there were times when that hurt a lot. But at the end of the day — thats just nine months of your
life. I can now spend the rest of my life with my precious daughter watching her grow and become a wonderful person. Yes I missed out on 9 months of being pregnant and that first moment but — I have her with me for the rest of my life. Thats all that matters — holding her, seeing her smiling face, watching her grow. I think we need to be reminded of that.

Thanks.

This is so great! Thank You for the great newletter. I can’t wait for my first support group meeting. I would love to get better knowledge of POF. It has been a tough road. I haven’t felt much support from my friends because they usually don’t understand because they are not going through it. When I do talk about it I feel as if I am feeling sorry for myself. I can’t wait to meet friends that can relate!
