Only some people see babies asd burdens. Usually those who center their lives on "career and money" as a means of defining success. I have never felt my kids were burdens. They have made my life worth living. I suffered panic attacks from the onset of my first pregnancy. I took medication for them while my first child was a baby. This kept me from getting them at all and I was calm enough to take care of her. I know the drugs are bad, but the mercury is worse. And if this allowed me to take care of my child..it is what i had to do. Women who are not toxic and healthy have panic/anxiety and post partum depression. None of us knows what we'll get. I do believe the anxiety/panic is from my amalgams. Should you ever decide to have a baby...it will change your life for the better. I said I was never having kids. Well, I see how that worked. I must say that you have one advantage! You can regain your health first. It is very hard to have two children to care for while being so sick.

OH..I can tell you with tubal ligation..that is the reason my mother lost her uterus and one ovary. Her other ovary doesn't work right now and has adhered to her intestine creating a host of other problems. Should you get in a relationship....(sorry guys) condoms are best bet. No hormones, no side effects, no baby.
