Infertility

One and done

I've been doing some thinking lately, and if I am ever fortunate enough to have a child, I think I am going to have my tubes tied afterward.  I absolutely cannot take the heartache of BFN after BFN ever again.  If I could just have one little miracle, I'd give up ever trying for more.  One would be fully enough for me.  I'm feeling really discouraged lately.

Re: One and done

  • Ah sweetie. Hugs hugs. I also hate when AF comes every freaking month. I also really think if we could just have one. Not sure I would tie my tubes though, that's a pretty big step.

  • I've been thinking that we'll be one and done as well - if we get lucky enough to even have one.  Mostly because we are older and the costs (emotionally and financially) for the kind of treatment we need are pretty extreme.

  • I admire those of you who can make that decision for yourself and be at peace with it. I just don't think I could voluntarily do that. I am an only child and HATED it. I always was so envious of my friends because they all had brothers and sisters. If one is all we can have, I will come to terms with it (I am lucky that I do have a stepdaughter, so any child DH and I have together will have a half-sister already)...but I think I really want to try for more than one. At this point, though, I will be so thankful to get one....I guess we will have to make that decision when the time comes.

    To those of you who have made the decision...good luck getting your one miracle....I hope you get your LO very soon!

  • I really hope not to be in that club, but it will sadly depend on finances.  I won't tie my tubes and will hope for a miracle, but whether we're able to seek treatment a second time will depend on what it takes to get me pregnant and how our financial situation changes after having one child... let alone trying treatments for a second.
