[quote=Anonymous]You need to keep two simultaneously existing scenarios in your mind:
1) You and DH have a great relationship and can help your daughter really enjoy being an only child. Make sure you do a lot of things as a family and focus on the joy and happiness she brings you. Do things that a second child might make more difficult, like traveling. Form traditions to enjoy together. Etc.
2) Statistics be damned. Is your period wildly irregular? Are you going through symptoms of menopause? You got pregnant easily the first time, and unless you have gone through menopause or don't have a uterus, it's not physically impossible to get pregnant again. Period. Don't focus on the negative s**t the doctors are telling you. And if you don't get pregnant, refer back to #1.

(I don't know what my eggs' issues were, but there was some number at some point that suggested they might be bad or few in number and I am currently 9.5 weeks along. Who knows what the outcome will be, but still, it was conceived somehow!! And I have a feeling it will be just fine.)

I didn't read the other posts, so apologies if this has already been said or if I'm way off base here! :-)[/quote]
