Facing Life Without Children When It Isn’t by Choice

For the Tsigdinoses, of Los Gatos, Calif., doctors were optimistic at every step. At 29, after two years of trying to become pregnant, Mrs. Tsigdinos learned she had small lesions on her uterus — a sign of early Endometriosis, a condition marked by uncontrolled tissue growth in the uterus. The lesions were surgically removed, and doctors sent her home with every expectation that she would have no further trouble conceiving.

Unfortunately, after multiple surgeries and doctors visits, the couple has had to face one of the all too familiar realities of the disease; Sometimes having children is not your choice.

An article which featuring the couple ran in this morning's New York Times Health News. Please feel free to read the entire article here.

I know that feeling in the pit of your stomach; the one that aches when you see a child on the play ground or hear a baby cry across the restaurant. I know what it is like to feel like there are choirs of children crying around you everyday, and wonder why you can not have one. If I could take the pain out of the sting for all 70 million women in this world who suffer from this disease I would, but today, all I can do it hope and pray that we can stand united, and together we will find a cure.
