[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did.  I grew up as the oldest of 6.  Loved it and while I do not want to have 6 myself, our experience with infertility ("unexplained") was all the more devestating to me b/c I knew it meant I would never have as many as my parents did, b/c of $$ reasons (having to pay for IF or adoption out of pocket). We have since adopted 1, are in the process of adopting another, and are concurrently completing FETs of 3 remaining embryos we have frozen.  We will see how many children we end up with!  It's out of our hands!  :)  [/quote]

Wow we have had similar experiences! I also am the oldest of 6 and love being part of a large family. We had a wonderful childhood playing together constantly, and now my sisters are my best friends. My husband and I have 2 kids, twins from IVF, and tried 4 more times for another baby. He is one of 5 kids, so we both wanted 3 or maybe 4. It's been heartbreaking but after several years I am feeling lucky that we at least got two and trying to come to terms with this being the extent of our family.

Good luck to you![/quote]
