When you say there would be no reason to live if you didn't have a child, would it have to be a biological child or would you consider adoption? That would take the time pressure off. For me, I would be too scared to become pregnant on meds. I would feel too guilty if something were wrong with the baby. But everyone has to make that decision for herself. I desperately wanted a baby when I was younger, but at the same time I knew I was always far too depressed to raise a child (and deep down I knew that what I really wanted was those few months of babyhood, not 20 years of raising a child.) Still, when I had a hysterectomy at age 46 it was very hard knowing that the dream was gone forever. Though for you at 41, you never know, there was a 54 year old woman with 8 children and 15 grandchildren who had triplets a few years ago-no fertility treatments, total surprise! Anyway, I hope you're feeling better soon. Cecilia
