[quote=Anonymous]A slightly different perspective, but I think still relevant. We knew that we wanted two and would likely regret if we had only one. We discussed it. Since we were both in our 40s and already old. we opted to implant two embryos when we did IVF. Both took and we had twins. Now that they are 6, we are still happy with our choice as we did want two children. One of the benefits of being older parents is that we are much more financially stable than when we were in our 20's and 30's. So, we could afford the IVF and two implantations and the extra expenses that come with two children. My point is that you should not rule out a second child if you are in your 30s. If your one or two incomes are both expected to continue rising, you might be able to have another child in your 40s when you are more financially stable. If you can afford it, consider freezing some eggs so that you have the option to consider a child when you are more financially stable.[/quote]
