[quote=Anonymous]I went through IF treatments to conceive my DS, and we're now trying for #2.  When I went back to the RE a few months ago, when we were ready to start treatments for #2, I was really struck by how much you are focused on the goal of pregnancy when you are going through IF.  Then, if you're lucky enough to become pg and have a healthy baby, you are A PARENT.  And that is something hugely different that changes your life, your relationship with your partner, and everything.  For everyone going through IF, this is probably the most significant thing in your life right now. but truly, if you have a child, this change in your life, becoming a parent, is 1000% times more significant than going through IF.  I do think that parents who have gone through IF often have a unique appreciation for being parents and may be less likely to complain about the downsides of parenthood.  I also think that part of the torture of IF is to have to have this incredibly prolonged anticipation of parenthood.  There's so much focus on a baby, whereas that baby becomes a kid pretty quickly.
