Debra's Story
Well it all started on February 22, 1996
when I first found out that I was pregnant and everything
was going well. I was sick all day long and all night.
I couldn't keep any food or drink in my stomach.
Then around the last few days in April
I stated too cramp up real hard and didn't feel like
doing anything. I lay in bed trying to get comfortable
and couldn't. On May 2, 1996 I miscarried. This is the
hardest thing a mother has to go through. I was never
able to find out why I miscarried.The doctor told me
not to worry about it -- that it was a piece of tissue
that was growing inside me. His insensitivity to my
loss really made me upset.
In 1998 I was diagnosed with Polyscystic
Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) which is very very hard for
me. Also very painful, to say the least. I am on Metformin
all because my body is producing too much insulin. I
have to take it three times a day.
All I ever wanted was to have a healthy
baby and now it looks like my dream of being a mother
is down the drain. If there is someone who could help
us adopt a child, we really would appreciate it very
much.
