[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are so expensive, and finding the right schools, teachers, environment is very difficult in this area.  I would just go with biology.  I think you or your husband is romanticizing of becoming a parent.

We are very happy childfree couple (trying but it really does not matter either way).  Why throw away your marriage for a child?!?[/quote]

You know, that's really not helpful. Having kids is really important to someone. People feel inadequate in relationships for a lot of reasons. OP is having a hard time. I'm sure you didn't mean to be a jerk, but come on. [/quote]

OP, here.  It's okay.  I understand what this poster is trying to say.  And I might even be able to talk myself into this kind of thinking, if it were only me being affected by infertility.  But we have discussed pros and cons of children quite a bit and the pros, for us, win by a landslide.  This conversation is a bit premature.  I won't quit without trying a couple more IVF cycles and maybe getting a consult from a new RE but repeated failure has squelched my faith.

Therapy for me might not be a bad thing.  Though, right now it feels like there just isn't room for yet one more appointment.  We do communicate a lot about the issue and I know that if I made the decision today, it would be pushing (as an above poster suggested) not letting go.

This is just hard.  So thanks for letting me think aloud here and try to get things straight so the next several months don't feel so clouded with doubt.[/quote]
