Awe :(
I have pocs and I was told if I want kids it be harder for me and also I have one ovary

You might need to go the IVF route but your ability to carry shouldn’t be affected by those things. I could be wrong, but just having gone through IVF myself and kind of knowing the ins and outs of which organs are involved in which stage.

Best of luck to if you do decide to have children, Whatever that looks like for you! ♥

My cousin has pcos and one tube and she has two kids, less than a year between them even so you really never know!

There's still options! My mom has only one ovary and fallopian tube and she had me and my younger brother after being told she'd never be able to have kids again. With PCOS, it's def harder, but it's still a possibility depending on what the reasons it'll be harder. I have PCOS and I also know people who have it that have a couple kids now. With one, her problem wasn't getting pregnant, it was carrying and her husband took on a second job so that she could be on bed rest for her pregnancy.

I'm wishing you all the luck <3 <3

That's such an awful thing to have to come to terms with if it's not want you wanted. I wish her the best.

Plesantly surprised that she mentionned adoption
It's so rare for celebs to consider the option

[champagnexdream]

I don’t know, I feel like a lot of celebrities have adopted! Definitely more than people I know personally anyway

[statelines]

Because adopting is INSANELY expensive. Like I know a gay couple who adopted and it was legit over $30,000. Absolutely insane. Your average person really can’t afford to do it.

It doesn't have to be. If you insist on a newborn infant, I have no pity that you're spending thousands. I say this as an adoptive parent who receives $600/month because I adopted an 11-year-old.

I hope whatever route she chooses, everyone involved is safe, healthy, paid fairly and treated well. I don’t doubt that will be the case, if Selena has anything to do with it. She seems like a good person. Good luck to her - I know this has to be so hard

[yankeesarelove]

she's mentioned in the past that her bipolar medication can cause birth defects - as well as affect her own mental wellbeing- so I'd imagine that's what she's talking about here. that must be hard for her to deal with, on many layers!

I do think some celebs (cough cough the Kardashians) go the surrogate route due to them not wanting to actually be pregnant and have their bodies change (I know Kim has claimed physical limitations but idk, seems like an excuse) but I do believe Selena here.

Probably the lupus, too.
