    Thanks everyone. I've been to four other doctors and they all concur with my inital doctor. Adoption is too expensive for us to pursue, and not only there are some small things that bar us from adopting right now.

    What happened with the patch that rendered you unable to have children? That isn't supposed to happen! Is there any way you could pursue legal action against the maker of the patch you wore? Then maybe adoption wouldn't be out of the question...

    It sounds like you are still grieving the loss of Amylynn, and that may take so long to recover from. I wonder if a bereavement group might be of some help? It is easy for me to say, "don't worry, it gets better", but, I know from personal experience those words are absolutely meaningless.

    However, YOUR life is not meaningless. That needs to get through to your poor grieving heart.

    May you find comfort, somehow.

    Hugs,
    Johanna

    I have to agree 100% here.

    I was on the patch for 2yrs & I was told that there is nothing to worry about. Now you have me worried! My chances of having ababy are already low, but if the patch has made it worse, then I don't know what I'll do

    Please let us know what went wrong & sueing sounds like a good idea, then you can adopt a little one

    With all the law suits against that patch right now I would be clumped in with them and they payout would be less then what I would spend on an attorney. According the specialists I've seen the hormones from the patch damaged my ovaries.

    Do you know how long these poor women were on the patch before it did this to them? Maybe thats thats the real reason I was spotting !!! (I had never spotted in the 7yrs I was on birth control, until is all of a sudden started)...

    The patch has only been out four to five years. I was on it from the time it started. I'm assuming they are the same. These lawsuits cover everything from infertility, blood clots, heartattacks and some wrongful deaths. I just wished I had stayed on the pill. Maybe I wouldn't have gone through all of this.

    Damn, I was on it for 2yrs (just got off of it).. Maybe thats why I was having such horrible anxity attacks & mental breakdowns & not being able to remember anything.. I do know that since Ihave been of of it I remember EVERYTHING from the past (not that I wanted to remember any of that horrid stuff, but it was nice to know..kinda)... I was at the Dr.'s office only a couple of months ago, complaining about the Spotting & she said nothing about the patch making people very ill!!!! I just want to curse so baddly right now!!!

    Please don't blame yourself for this. Everything happens for a reason. You have lots of friends here that will help you through this.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!
