Query

[alcox2525]

Hello everyone!

I’m new here, nice to meet you all.

I wanted to ask a query about myself, I’m 19 years old and I would love to become a mother but I only want a child through IUI. Do you think I will be accepted into a private clinic?

Many thanks

Sorry but have to ask why at 19 you want to do this ? It costs a huge amount of money to have and raise a child and it doesn't stop when they hit 18.

I went through IUI and IVF for my children, total of 15 years of treatment and it's not easy plus all the drugs and procedures have caused me long term physical damage. Think long and hard before you embark on this at such a young age.

I’m 19, I have anxiety and depression. I’m unemployed. I know it’s expensive. But the only thing that’s giving me hope is having a baby.

One thing you'll need to take into consideration is that a child isn't a fix-all solution. It's probable your difficulties would still be there once the child was on the scene.

I generally think a parent needs to be the emotional support for their child needs, it's a tough start in life if they need to be the emotional support for their parent.

Take some time to work on your relationship with you, use your desire to have a child in the future as your motivation to work through what you need to work through now. Revisit the idea when you're emotionally in the right, selfless place they need you to be in.

To be honest with you no, first of all your too young. Why would want a child, at that age not being married, or having a partner. Why that way too, do you not like men?Sorry I just have to ask those questions.
