[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry. If it's any consolation I was unable to have a 2nd for different reasons, and many years later I am happy and fulfilled. Hope can be a cruel thing. In my case, once my husband got a vasectomy it officially closed the window and the weight that was lifted off my shoulders was tremendous and I was finally able to focus on the family I did have. I'm not suggesting you should quit, but it was an unexpected joy for me to remove the possibility after years of "what if-ing."[/quote]

Thank you for this. Through a lot of effort and IF treatment we were able to have our one kid. We've closed the door on even trying for a second due to the high emotional and financial cost of doing the treatments, but I've always wondered if I would regret that down the road.[b] There's so much stigma about having only one kid in certain circles.

I think this is changing, honestly.  So many parents I know are parents of only children for all sorts of reasons - infertility, sure, but also the recognition of that having one child is more affordable.  I also think there's a lot more awareness about infertility these days and so having one child is common in my circle of friends who, like me, had to seek ART for our kid(s) and are happy and grateful to have one. I know it's probably the think that weighs most heavily on your heart, but just wanted to say that I see a growing number of families with one kid.  [/quote]
