He told me a few years ago he wishes I would have pushed back and that he now wishes we had tried for the third. I was so mad.


We have 3 boy embryos on ice. Two girls already from IVF but I'm early 40s. Husband wants to get rid of them but I want to wait until I'm 45 to get rid of them. It's $80/month. I'm glad I came across this. I'm going to push back and have him wait.


Similar. I’m 42, two wonderful daughters, one frozen embryo left that’s a boy. We don’t want more kids but I can’t say goodbye to the embryo.


That's so weird. Do you save your bowel movements, too?

I took my wife’s surname (I’m a woman). Disgusted or nah?

What's so wrong with your married name?

Yet if you cared for other group, you would be on here saying you regret not "focusing on" your "parent's care"

Glad that you regret it, single cat lady.


I never changed it. Nothing to regret there.

Sometimes it's also done to go "along with tradition."

I feel such disgust at judgmental people who obviously cannot follow the assignment.
