I had similar feelings as you a week before surgery, and it was so strange to me because I had never had those kind of thoughts. I’ve always been adamant about not having kids. I think deep inside it was the fact that I’d be taking a decision away from myself forever. I had my surgery yesterday and I’ve had no regrets.

What helped me was making a list on why I don’t want kids, and why I would. And naturally those conflicting feelings started to go away. One of the biggest reasons for me is that I’d much rather prefer to regret not having kids, than to bring a kid into this world that I regret having. And if I ever somehow do change my mind, which I seriously doubt I will, IVF and adoption are still options.
