[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I will probably get blasted for this, but why don't you just count your blessings that you have two healthy children and leave it at that?  The stats are not in your favor and given that you have said yourself you can't afford the cost, why not just accept what you have and be grateful for what you have?  I know that family planning is a personal and individual thing, but there is much to be said for accepting life as it is and being grateful that you have so many blessings, instead of wanting what you don't/can't have.[/quote]

OP here.  It's a legitimate thought - a good question. I have asked it myself.  Once we made the leap to do the FET it changed everything.  By making the decision to go forward with that, we alos made a decision that our family was not complete and that we really did want one more.  I am grateful for what I have beyond what I could put into words. I was one of those people who didn't care about having children when I was younger. I had no idea that I was going to love being a mother this much. I used to think my job was everything and I led a great life. And I guess I did but I had no idea what I was missing. Now that I know, if I could do it all over again and stary younger, I might have been one of those women who have 4+ kids, if I could have.  So I am grateful, which also makes me want more.  I just love them so much!
