[quote=Anonymous]By way of background, I have always wanted to have several children, and DH agreed that three kids would be ideal for our family. Because of fertility and budget constraints, however, it is looking increasingly like we are one and done. We require IVF to get pregnant and just can't fund it right now or even justify incurring the debt of another loan to do so knowing it may not work. Without IVF, I'm having a series of chemical pregnancies that feel like torture, so we may quit even actively trying on our own. The bottom line is that I'm not coping with this well. Instead, I'm bitter because I'm relatively young and work hard at my job but still can't have the life I want. I recognize that this is childish, but I'm struggling to get over it. I "know" to focus on my one DC, but I still have an underlying sadness and anger that I can't shake. Any compassionate tips?[/quote]
