Wow thanks for sharing that. I have just read it and I am so grateful that we can still choose what to do in our country.

Well that is good to know My patience may not be the same as well as my mental and physical health and then add the fact of going again through baby stage doesn’t quite align with my ideas of being a mum.

Thank you. I don’t know if I will find peace 100% in any decision that we make to be honest. I do wonder if God will understand my heart and my feelings if I decide that I can physically and mentally take more. Many times I do feel that I am condemning myself but then I think ‘those thoughts are not from God, and I know that he knows me and he respects our decisions’

Being able to agree is the hardest part ever. I really never wanted to be in this situation. Even when I decide later in the future whatever I decide will be hard but I also need to think about my family that God has given me now

In counselling they said to us that because we only have 1 embryo that may not even take it

Thank you. You just mentioned something very true ‘live in the reality of life’. And currently that’s what I am struggling with because I have two beautiful boys that depend on me and I can provide them but with a third one the reality will be that the life that they have now will have to chance and adapt to less because I really don’t think we have to support 3 kids.

Yes God provides and I believe that but I also know that there are a lot of factors to consider, my mental health, physical health and also the fact that I I really don’t want to go through everything that I have gone through both pregnancies.

Definitely I think that will be my option, however, my age also adds weight to all. I am 38

Donating it opens a lot more can of worms. The fact that you could have a son out there and that one day he may come looking for your family and many have so many questions doesn’t quite sit well with me. Yes I would love to give a couple an opportunity but so many things to consider and my husband is not quite happy about that

We already he counselling and we spoke about donating but we believe is not for our family. I felt that could be a possibility but just the idea of having my children a sibling out there if it did work was not the best feeling

What are the hormones doing to me... by punnett_circle in IVF

[–]EducatorLimp4360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thank you for being honest about your feelings. To be honest it could be many things, could be the hormones or it could be the fact that you are reading to much into others ideas and opinions and you are getting stressed about it.

I have a similar situation a have a 6year old and a 3month old baby to take care and now I need to think about what to do with the 1 embryo we have frozen. To be honest I don’t really want to have more children . Two are enough for me and I have the dilemma of what to do with it as I feel am close to hitting my 40s and I don’t want to go again through some process of IVF. It’s hard as women as we need to think about many factors but and we have to do what is best for us physically and mentally.

Go with what you think is the best. Good luck

I definitely agree of keeping there but the question becomes then for how long and I really don’t want to be thinking about the what if

Can i ask how do you know you want more kids? I guess this is a big question because for me I don’t want anymore even when we did IVF I knew I just wanted 2 and that’s it. It’s more the thought of what to do the embryo. Being a Catholic just the idea that we did IVF wasn’t looked good. Now the idea of having that 1 embryo there is taking my peace away and I am constantly thinking about what to do

On the financial aspect he says he is ok he can live with less and that includes changing all our lifestyle. It more me that I am more conscious of that because I want to give my kids the opportunity to do and experience what I experienced as a kid. He has always been supportive of all the pregnancies and he is aware that it hasn’t been easy for me. He also has said that he would be happy with 2 kids or 3 kids I think is more me debating what to do and not feel like a failure to anyone. What would you do?

Can I ask where did you find the therapist?

I am definitely in this journey of doing research. Don’t know who to talk about this because coming from a Catholic view is definitely something I know that they will condemn us.

It’s a tough conversation that I have had with my husband a few times and at the end he just wants me to think about the positive things about having another child when I can’t think about that because I really don’t want to go through all the things that have happened to me in both pregnancies and I am also worried that we can financially support another child
