Never posted before but don't feel that I've anyone else to talk about this. Years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS and so was given Metformin when I wanted to try for a baby. We were really lucky that it only took 4 months for us to conceive. But when DD was 8 months I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had an ovary and tube removed.

Following my recovery we started trying again for number 2. After no success we were given Clomid as I wasn't ovulating, and although some months it worked, others it didn't. After 12 months with no success, that was the end of the clomid. Now I have a date for a hysterectomy and ovary/tube removal (to avoid chance of cancer in remaining ovary).

I just feel so heartbroken that I'll never have another child....I've wanted children for as long as I can remember. I know people will say that I should be lucky for the one child I have, and I truly am, but I feel like I'm missing a piece of the puzzle of my life and am grieving for the child I'll never have. My husband is wonderful and very positive about our life, so I feel like I don't want to keep being negative, but barring a miracle in the next 2.5 months, that's it for me and I'm not sure how I'm going to cope.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How can I get my head around it? Please be nice as I'm very low at the moment.
