[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I don't have a career either, so it's not like I can justify why I waited because of career.  I'm 41 and I make $20/hour working part-time in a "hobby job."  Fortunately we do not need my salary (DH is in a high powered career) so financial wise it doesn't matter that I make only $20/hour but it matters to me/feeling like I never lived up to my potential either career-wise or family-wise.  Though family-wise was completely not in my control other than the fact that I waited too long to get pregnant the first time.

I wish I had primary infertility instead of secondary, because if I had had primary I would have done IVF and had a few embryos to freeze, and could have done a FET for a sibling.  Instead I got pregnant on the first try and then could not get pregnant a second time over the span of 5 years.  [/quote]

There will always be reasons to regrets and it's a choice to let them go, though it is really really hard (I have many regrets myself I'm trying to let go of). Also, the story you keep telling yourself is the story that will remain. You don't have to believe everything you think.

More practically, is donor embryo an option? And there are many hidden plus sides of having one child that will avail themselves to you if you decide to stop TTC (which, frankly speaking, takes courage, sometimes more than "never give up"). [/quote]
