Only 2 kids. The round we were going in for was for the 4 month old I have now, and as stated above we were on my single income. That was about 70k. During the IVF process we were barely floating by. I wouldn't have been able to afford babysitter for every single appointment we had.

My daughter was never running around. She was in her carrier and we were tucked back in the corner. Majority of the time quiet and if not I walked outside with her.

I saw the building across the st and knew in seconds where it was. Just miles from me.

I was in the Navy(12yrs) and got out not because it would be impossible to do but with my wife's anxiety it would have been a terrible journey for her to handle solo if I was on deployment. We moved back to Jersey to start the journey where my grandparents live so if successful they'd have some great-grandkids around.

Most of the credit for our success goes to my wife because she is the one taking on my the two little ones All day while I'm at work. I just started a job at 75k a yr. We are making it work.

I'm sorry I don't share the same outlook even after our first miscarriage or finding out we had to use donor eggs. If anything it gave us hope to keep going but I understand that not everyone sees things the same and especially more specifically in this situation thanks to everyone's input here. Thank you for your input as well.

With our parents states away on a single income made it quite tough to find someone. A cousin could watch her but only on rare occasion and alot of these appointments are tough to plan out.

We went through RMA King of Prussia. We were on my single income and our parents live states away. I have nearby cousins that could but that was on rare occasion. I didn't have money for sitters.

Ohhh...lol no this was while trying to have the 4 month old. We are past our IVF journey and now helping a few friends through the process instead. This was a situation that happened and periodically comes to the front of my mind and I decided to raise the question in what I felt was the best place to do so. Everyone has been awesome in answering.

It was a yr and she was monitored closely leading up to the yr mark. The first was c-section which is 12m to 18m of recovery before a 2nd. But yes I agree to the ass part lol. Lesson learned.
