If it works, I'd be the happiest woman on the planet.

If it doesn't work I will be sad, but I know that life goes on and DH and I can have a really good life as empty nesters.  Not yet ready to look this possible reality in the face yet.

 What if whatever you are currently doing TTC-wise does work?

If we do get pregnant through IVF, because of my age, this would be the only biological child for us. If we are still doing ok financially, I would probably like to adopt or foster a second child of similar age to the first child. Actually, this has been my fantasy for years. I have no idea what DH thinks as he won't talk about anything beyond this cycle.

 What if whatever you are currently doing TTC-wise doesn't work?

If we can't have a child through IVF, I am open to adoption, but I suspect my husband isn't. We could try donor sperm or donor eggs, but in the case of DS I don't think I could handle looking at a child, especially a boy child, and not see my husband. For DE, I think I'd be ok, I would have a biological connection after all, but 1. despite wanting a child, I'm not too keen on being pregnant, and 2. I don't think we could swing it financially. Adoption is also expensive, but, as far as I can see, there is a higher chance of success.

I will be absolutely thrilled and will try for at least one, and very likely two, more.  (I say that now!)

What if whatever you are currently doing TTC-wise doesn't work? 

I will move to IVF, then to donor egg IVF if I have to, and then to adoption.  One way or another I'm going to be a parent.  I think DH would be okay with all of these things, though I don't think he has really absorbed the fact that there's a chance we won't have a bio (both him and me) child.

I'm in the 2ww of my first IVF cycle.  I really want to give my dd a sibling, so I will be thrilled if I am able to.

 What if whatever you are currently doing TTC-wise doesn't work?

We have 3 IVF attempts. If we do not get pregnant, then I will be okay. I will know that I did absolutely everything possible to give my dd a sibling. I do feel very blessed and lucky to have her; although I would love one more baby.

 Conversely - 

What if whatever you are currently doing TTC-wise doesn't work? We'll have to call it a day, count our blessings with having DS and get me back on treatment for MS.

If it works:  I will be over the moon happy

If it doesn't:  I will have to believe that it wasn't meant to be and just be thankful for the two healthy and happy girls we do have

I would be happy beyond my wildest dreams. We would love to have 2 kids in a perfect world.

 Conversely - 

What if whatever you are currently doing TTC-wise doesn't work? 

 We would move to IVF though I am really scared of how involved the process seems. More than that, my bank account is scared of the fact that we are 100% OOP for IVF. I have 6 IUI cycles covered through insurance, and I really pray that is all we need. But we've done the math and are prepared to pay for IVF if we need to. I can't think beyond that yet...

 Conversely - 

What if whatever you are currently doing TTC-wise doesn't work? I will move to IUI or IVF.  If that doesn't work then I will move to adoption.

Same here.
