Firstly, As this situation is very emotional for me, please please be tactful in conveying your personal opinions. But please do try to help me
I am 23 yrs old and am a single mum to a 2yr old little boy. Late last year I left his father. 6 weeks later I got some results from my doctor and specialists about my reproductive organs... Results were not good.
Specialists did some more tests but told me that the "sooner the better" , In regards to having more children.
Being a newly single mum at the age of 22... this news scared me.
Id always wanted to be a mummy, ever since I was a little girl. And have always wanted 2 children.
Doctors are now telling me that I need to do it now, With every month that goes by is waiting too long.
They are talking about removing my right ovary due to the mountain of cysts on it. They believe that the left one will follow suit very soon.
Doctors have cut out endo twice and its still more than the average that they see.
But wait.. it gets more complicated:
I am interested in getting into a relationship with a very nice guy next yr. but he is in a complicated situation himself with his ex/gf tried to commit suicide after he left her. She is pregnant with his child. So he has moved back in (separate rooms) to support her through the pregnancy.
I have a friend (not a close friend) offering to be the father of the child and he may want to be a part of the babies life, he hasnt worked that out yet, as we havent gone into details. But this guy I want to be with doesnt want me to sleep with anyone else.. which is understandable.
So.. Long story short, Im single-ish... cant afford IVF and have no idea what to do.. Its like I have to choose between having a child.. or being with this guy next year.
