[quote=Anonymous]OP I'm an only child with an only child. We are one and done, not by choice, due to secondary infertility. Had a very easy time getting pregnant the first time, then no luck over 6 years TTC #2. Anyhow, I know a lot of families with an only child. Out of all those families, I only know one other family who is one and done, not by choice, like us. The rest are one and done, by choice. I actually feel very alone/like the odd one out, because all my other friends are happy one and done families, we're the only one who really struggles with grief and loss/sadness over not being able to have a second. I tried therapy but it didn't help at all. I'm hoping time will help, but we're still in the early elementary school stage where everyone is still having more kids. Out of all my friends, most of my friends have 3 kids. Then after that, families with one child. I know very few families who have 2 kids, interestingly![/quote]
