Before we were married, my husband and I talked about kids and knew we would adopt. Not only is that something we wanted to do, but a disease I have (Neurofibromatosis Type 2) consists of tumors and they can grow around or on any nerves. If I became pregnant, there was too many risks for me and the baby. We did have one "scare" that we thought we were pregnant, but turned out to be a false positive. Technically, with this disease, you aren't necessarily infertile, but I chose to have my tubes tied (at the age of 23 it was a majro decision but I don't regret it). I, too, have to take pain meds and wouldn't be able to if I was pregnant. A lot of things factored into this decision. I prayed and prayed if this is what I needed to do and God gave me a great peace about it. Enough rambling from me
I probably confused people talking about NF2!
