Hi BB. I am so sorry that you are having to deal with these issues and at such a young age. My fertility problems started at age 17 when I decided that I wanted to have a baby as a junior in high school (and most people thought that I was way to young to be thinking about fertility so I'm sure you are probably receiving the same kind of reaction).

If your insurance covers it you could definately make yourself an appointment with a reproductive endocrinologist. If nothing else you would at least get a second opinion on your fertility.

If it is true that you do not have ovaries it will be incredibly difficult to deal with as you are finding now. But, I also believe that we are all put here on earth and in each other's lives for a reason and that reason may just be that there will be a perfect child born just for you. And, in time you will find the perfect partner who will love you for the person that you are, not for your reproductive health.

There are so many options now too. If you choose to use donor eggs, you may still be able to experience pregnancy. If that doesn't work for you, you may be able to use a surrogate mother with donor eggs and your future husband's sperm. Adoption is another viable option for you.

Of course right now getting your health straightened out is the most important thing for you, including being healthy mentally. There are many resources available as far as counseling goes. I have searched online and found Hannah's Hope Ministries. They have what they call Hope Partners which is someone who has been through fertility treatments or is going through them who will be online support for you. They may be great support for you. You can also search the Resolve and Inciid websites to see if there are support group meetings near you.

This website is a great support, even if you aren't going through fertility treatments, just getting someone to talk to helps.

One more thing, don't be afraid to change doctors many times until you find the one that works for you. Even if one is helping more than the last one, if you still aren't getting your questions answered find one that will.

If you want to talk privately you can always PM me and I will be happy to talk to you some more! Good luck!
