[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I have secondary infertility and premature ovarian failure, so it's pretty much a given that I will never be pregnant with my own eggs again, which is incredibly devastating.  Yes, I am incredibly grateful for my child, but completely devastated by my completely unexpected diagnosis.  [/quote]

If this is the case, maybe think about joining the message boards over at PVED (Parents Via Egg Donation). I found them very useful when I was going through DE IVF and you could get a lot of support even if you aren't set on using donor eggs yet. Many, many women there are going through Premature Ovarian Failure. I was surprised by the fact that the majority of the women there were fairly young since the usual thought is that using donor eggs is age-related. (I had POF as well, FWIW).

I agree with the other posters who said that a group focusing on primary infertility is not going to give you what you need. The people in those groups are grieving a different loss. Not better or worse, just completely different in kind. I suffered with both primary and secondary (I have two DE kids) and I would not have felt comfortable in a group for primary the second ting around. [/quote]
