My sister can't have kids...

[crowdlost]

So this sucks.

I write a lot, things that will never be published and the only person who I ever show my writings to is my sister. She is 7 years older than me, been married for 5 years to this amazing guy.

Recently, I wrote a little thing about a bunch of people working at a news radio station and stuff like that, very random. But the ending is about one of the women working there admitting that she is pregnant, and it's a very happy moment.

I sent this "writing" to my sister and two minutes later I texted her telling her to check her gmail whenever she feels like it because I sent you my recent writing. I felt by her reply something was wrong so I called her and her husband answered and he was upset and said that, two days ago, they found that she has poly-cystic ovary syndrome.

Apparently, it doesn't mean that they can NEVER have kids, but it is very unlikely, that's what their doctor told them :(

They would make the BEST parents ever and they cannot WAIT to have a kid so this just totally sucks. Honestly, life is really unfair sometimes.

I feel kinda bad about sending her that thing now, wish I could unsend it, or just change the ending or something. I'm a little worried she'll be upset when she reads it.


Also, she's just really sad about how to break the news to our mom. It would kill me to see her sad too... UUGGHH this is just UNFAIR. Thanks VT for letting me vent. I needed this.

That is too bad! :( It sounds like she is really close to you. I really hope that she can find a way to have kids. :)

Has she thought about adoption? It is a nice option to consider if she wants kids. Plus she helps save a child.

Sigh, That's terrible. :( I can understand the pain. My girlfriend has been sterilized by chemotherapy, It makes her sad from time to time.....I hope that your sister and her husband are able to have a kid.

I am sorry this is happening to your sister
doctors will always tell you you won't get pregnant the second you have problems concieving.
they told my aunt she couldn't have kids and she now has 3
I am sure you sister could do treatments and fertility testings and stuff
there is always a way. in my opinion adoption should always be the last resort
good luck to your sister. hope she can bear a little one soon... try try try again

depends on the timing of the months and stuff :)

I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome and it's actually very, very common. It CAN have an effect on your ability to have kids, but doesn't always. I know about 6 women with it, and of the 4 that have tried to have kids, all of them were successful. Also, if it does actually affect her ability to conceive, there are medications you can take to help. It's really not as big a deal as you'd think.

Wow, what a unfortunate counsidence. That REALLY SUCKS.

There are lots of ways doctors can assist with reproduction. It's not a lost cause!

There's always adoption or IVF, or the off chance they do conceive naturally. It does bite though about this. It doesn't make it impossible or even close to impossible for them to have kids - it just makes it harder to conceive naturally.

Honestly, you shouldn't feel bad about sending it to her. You didn't know, and I still think she's really going to like it. Yeah, it's kind of bad timing, but I do believe she isn't going to hate/be mad at you for it.
