How far?

Question

I know it's a negative thought, but I'm curious as DH and I have discussed it some. 
​
​Have you thought/talked about how far you will go medically if you have trouble conceiving? 
​
​Is adoption an option for you? 
​
​No judging of course, just wondering. You all know that I have strong opinions. Lol!!

Answer

We haven't gone too much into detail.. And depending on our financial situation at the time (we are comfortable.. I don't have to work if I choose not to.. But I enjoy the spending money) we MIGHT do a round of IUI or IVF depending on the cost.. I always say I don't want to go broke trying to have a child because with my luck it will be on the last try and we'll have to scrimp and save for that child and that's not fair! I have yet to decide on adoption! But I do know what you mean! I love the children in my family but other kids annoy me lol

Answer

I would have tests etc and I would have IVF too but I'm not sure about adoption. Like you I want the whole experience. But on the other hand I have always wanted children and couldn't imagine what I would do if I can't have any x

Answer

I'm not sure. We have discussed adoption so it's a viable option. But I think I always wanted to adopt whether I had biological kids or not. We will see! But I have to say that I really want a child that is biologically ours. A little bit of both of us. With that said If we couldn't concieve I am not really sure what we would do. I'm 33 will be 34 in Dec. he is 10 years older so there are a lot of factors. I'm not sure I would be willing to wait 5 years for an adoption to go through. I'm not a spring chicken anymore lol

Answer

DH and I both say that we will do tests and meds, but no IUI or IVF. We have said with a * that we reserve the right to change our minds at any time.

​I will not adopt if I am unable to conceive. Overall, I have never really been a kid person. Honestly, I didn't want children before I met DH. I want a family with him. I want the whole experience. I know that there are plenty of children that need homes, but I also know that it is a lengthy and stressful experience if you foster/adopt and expensive to straight adopt.

​It may sound terrible but I want my own child with him, not someone else's.
