I WANT A BABY

[Lgettemy]

I want to know how I can possibly get pregnant. If you stop right here, that sounds funny, but no seriously, I have had a tubal ligation (not sure if I had them seared) but I want to know if I can somehow still get pregnant. I cannot afford a  reversal even if it was available. I am 37 years old with three beautiful children. They are all girls, however I only have custody of one. I am hoping this does not sound like a pity session, I am solely trying to set and obtain a goal of getting pregnant. I was physically, emotionally, and mentally abused. I truly deserved this one. I did not know him well enough before I got married I would have known he had six prior restraining orders from other wives before I met him, but I trusted him. Being so familiar with the court system with all his priors, which does not include the 28 violent offences he has been charged with, he is a tough fight. I don't want to elaborate too much, but I was abused and I was pregnant with our last when I was so damaged that I decided I would never have children again. Especially since a lot of the abuse occurred during my pregnancies. I need to know what my options are.

My daughter-in-law went to Europe for in vitro and the cost was only a fraction of that. The doctor was trained in the US. Many women are going outside the States for the treatment because of the prohibitive cost

Is there some way you could work toward getting custody - or visitation - with your two girls you aren't mothering right now?   I would think they would be grateful to have a mother in their lives.

Having yet another child at this point seems like a very distant and unattainable dream.

Unfortunately, the only way I can think of is in vitro fertilization, but I know the process costs $20,000 here in northern California and most insurances don't cover it.  Don't know what the cost is where you are, but you are looking at spending some money one way or another if you want to get pregnant that badly.

In vitro would bypass the tubes.
