Would you cancel this cycle? Long. . .
Ok, before I ask my question, let me preface this by saying I am not a bad person. I understand children are blessings, but I already have my baby after our first struggle with IF. To have a second child, I am honestly kind of ambivalent. IF we were to have another, I think it would be great to have a sibling for DS, and I know DH would love another child, but I am perfectly content with just one.
With that being said, we are on our first cycle again of Clomid. I have been adamant that I do not want twins. I just don't think I can handle it. DH travels 40-50% of the time for his job, and I don't think I would be a good mom to DS, who right now is my first priority.
I went in for my follie scan today and I have two, one is about 8.5 and the other almost a 10. Now, I know anything can happen and only one might mature by the time I should have my IUI, but they both could mature as well. If that is the case, I honestly think I would cancel the cycle. It seems like a hassle to do another round of meds, but I would switch to Femara this time and take a lower dose. What do you think, what would you do?
Oh, and another struggle is more of a spiritual nature too. I am a Christian and wonder if I should be letting God make this decision, but then on the other hand I feel like God would give me peace about moving forward with it too if it were right.

"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..."
last cycle i had 4 follicles and a BFN. this cycle i have 2, maybe 3 (in the 2ww now). i think the meds intentionally increase the number of follicles and it may be awhile before you only have 1. i agree with PP, the old fashioned way or single embryo IVF might be best.
