[quote=Anonymous]I know quite a few very happy childfree couples, incluidng some of my parents' friends who retired early (in their 50s) and have lived extraordinary lives doing things that I'll never have the financial resources to do. They are all fit and happy and have a zeal for life.  If you are sure that you don't want children, then it can be a great lifestyle.  If, however, you think even in the back of your mind that the wait and see approach might work, then perhaps you want to have a back-up plan.  You certainly can change your mind.

You have to be ready and committed to fertility treatments.  In hindsight, we rushed into fertility treatments, and I spent two years in agony.  In the end, it was successful, and I don't regret what we did, as I adore our DD.  That being said, we learned I had an issue, went straight into fertility treatment and had complication after complication.  I think if I had let my body take time, we might not have had to go through what we did (we ended up with #2 instantly with no fertility treatment).

In a way, I wish we had tried the wait and see approach.  Best of luck to whatever you choose.  Just remember, people are nosy and the questions won't stop so be prepared.  [/quote]
