[quote=Anonymous]I do think that part of this is that you're closing that door forever. What used to be "maybe one day" is getting relegated to "never." Also combined with the feeling of getting older and closer to death and all that. Like a few months ago, when I was at a peak emotional state with this, I'd be like "WHY am I even still having a stupid period if this is freaking it??"

One thing DH and I talked about is that we'll be able to better support our 2 kids so that we can maybe move closer to them and help them out more than our parents helped us (we have great relationships with our families but live at a distance for a combination of reasons, mostly where people got jobs). Like maybe we can even mostly retire in our 50s? Maybe our kids will be more likely to have multiple kids if they have more support. Obviously there are many unknowns - we could just die, one kid could move to South Africa and the other to Australia, being close to us in adulthood could make them not want to have kids, DC could get nuked tomorrow etc etc.[/quote]
