[quote=Anonymous]Everyone is different. No one can tell you what you will or won’t regret in life. Most of us try to accept and make the best of our situations, so you will most likely be in that camp. I will say that I know quite a few people socially who had two kids in their mid/late 30s and were done who decided in their early 40s to try for a third and ultimately needed IVF after conceiving their first two naturally. I also know a couple who decided when their two older children were teens to try to conceive in their mid/late 40s. They ultimately used a surrogate to have a third in their early 50s. I also know a couple who had a second via IVF in their mid 40s when their formerly only turned eldest was almost 15. They were done a decade ago and then they were not. Circumstances change.

I have never heard anyone say they regretted having a third. And when I think about children I know who are ND, I do not think there are more ND third children than second children or first/only children. I wouldn’t let the fear of having a third child who is ND stop you from having a third.

We have three and no regrets. It’s a juggle with work, but we make it work. [/quote]
