Local support groups?

[Anonymous]

I've been really struggling since I learned that it's highly unlikely that I'll be able to have biological children. DH has been great and very supportive but it would help to talk to other women who are going though this also. Can anyone recommend a local support group for infertility? I live in DC but can also go to Va or Md. Thanks.

RESOLVE.

Hang in there...Good luck! =)

Yes to Resolve. But also look around online - I found terrific support through anonymous boards like FertileThoughts.com or PVED.

It was enormously helpful to me to be in contact with other women in similar situations - but it was also great to have some anonymity around it.

Good luck!

Anything for men? My DH is torn up inside about his low sperm count.

You say unlikely so maybe there is a shot? I would look online for people who have similar medical cases to you and also maybe a new doctor. I was told I would not be able to have my own children and I have one and one on the way. It took me a year to work through the original news and then I decided to get more opinions and to work on it. I hope everything works out for you. We also began adoption and although we put that on hold right now I have found the experience amazing.

Many of these listed have forums for men. I know Fertile Thoughts does.
