[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why everyone is pressing OP into doing IVF.  It appears she can get pregnant on her own. She had multiple miscarriages and this could easily happen with IVF as well. + she is ambivalent about having kids in the first place. not very helpful.

OP here.  Thank you for posting.  I'm a little frustrated.  I didn't ask about IVF.  I asked for people who have come to terms with not having children to give me advice on how they found peace with it.

And of course, everyone jumps on urging me to do IVF.  I get that people are trying to be helpful, but I wish they just wouldn't respond.  I was really hoping to hear from people who have come to terms with not having children -- not people trying to convince me I should do everything possible to have them.[/quote]

OP other than that one really helpful PP, I honestly don't think this is the right board for the type of support you are looking for. this is a board for people trying to have kids (that is part of a larger message board for parents). I wish you peace as you come to terms with this decisions. I'm not in your shoes but I will give you one piece of advice I read years ago on this board that has stuck with me. It is really only in the past 50 or so years that most people could actually choose how many kids they had. Before that, without good birth control many people had more kids than they wanted and without infertility treatments, others had no kids at all. So this idea that you decide how many kids you want and then get that number of kids, is a new concept. Those of us dealing with infertility are dealing with a disappointment that affected many more couples just a few generations ago. [/quote]
