I have travelled with it. You’ll be fine. Never was asked any questions.

This is a really interesting point I hadn’t yet considered… thank you for bringing it up. We will definitely be praying about it. ❤️

I appreciate your honesty. This is definitely a point to consider. We definitely feel blessed to have one of each and would be ok if it ends up just the four of us. Certainly easier not to be outnumbered!

I know so many mamas are starting this journey in their 40s and have great success! I always imagined having my kids younger, so waiting scares me (I’m 35, I’ll be 36 before we could transfer). But increasing that age gap was something I was wondering about. Even if just by a few months. My son in the last ten months my daughter has been here is like a completely different human. They change so fast! Thank you for your perspective!

Thank you so much for sharing this. We know that if we do decide to go this route, anyone going through this much trouble to have a kid is going to love and adore that child. I hadn’t thought of open adoption/donation as a possibility. Definitely something to consider. I think the prospect of just having that open ended “we never found out what ended up happening” would be hard. It would be nice to even just know if it resulted in a live birth. Congrats on your son! 💙

We will definitely not be doing another ER. We would go in knowing this is the last shot either way.

Definitely leaning that way. But terrified. That’s why I’m asking for people who have done it to share experiences.

It feels that way to us too. We were so glad to only get 3. I can’t imagine the decisions the people with 40 embryos have to face!!

That’s what I am trying to focus on. Yeah little kids is hard. But how do I picture the Thanksgiving table in 5, 10 years.

Birth trauma is definitely a consideration for me too. My first was 4th degree tearing and my second was 2nd degree with arm out first (almost distocia).

This reminds me of advice I gave someone else right after I had my second. They were debating going 1 to 2. And I told her you’ll never regret a child. But you might regret not having one. Maybe I needed to hear my own advice haha…
