3 kids here!

Twice. Two girls. 12 & 13.

I do have to follow that post by admitting that I, also "got pregnant" without really planning the first and the last child. However, My Man and I had already worked out what first of all I wanted to do if I were to become pregnant, and also had decided we did want children.

After every pregnancy being confirmed, he took me aside and honestly and seriously asked me, "What do you want to do? It's up to you, I'll go along with whatever you want." I must admit that I've used Plan B twice since that last baby was born, 11 years ago, due to "OOOPS" situations. We decided we were really finished having children, he thinks he's "too old" (early 50s) to see more kids into adulthood, and I'm just done not to mention starting perimenopause. My body, however, has proven to be irritatingly fertile, so, while we are careful, Plan B has been there several times for us.

We have three living children, I had two miscarriages, and honestly, we "planned" only one of the pregnancies. Our dynamic is different than some people's and what works for us does not work for everyone. I don't expect it to.

The point is desiring, wanting and being able to afford children. I think that is really the only reason to have them. We both wanted children desperately and my wish was granted (the timing could have been better...I think at least the first one)

I could honestly understand not wanting them at all. We have friends who desire no children, and the ones who didn't want them and yet went ahead and had them are always miserable. The ones who didn't want them and remained childless seem just as happy as those of us who wanted them and had them. (And they have hella more bucks than we do. )

IMO, I think people know their desires, needs and what they are willing or able to do or not. It's an individual decision and there is no "One size fits all" for having or not having children.

Was pregnant after my first IVF cycle then went on to miscarry at around 6 1/2 7 weeks.

Yes i have a 2 year old son and trying to have another

Nope, never have.

No, not yet ))

I want kids, but unfortunately gay pregnancy is a little more expensive than the straight method haha!

I have one son!

I have a 5 month old as of now so yes I would say I have and trying for number 2

Trying and trying but not yet.

Nevarrrr

I clicked the "no" very... tentatively. There should be a third "I'm not sure" option or something, and here's why. My boyfriend and I almost always forget condoms. We're fluid bonded, so it's not a huge deal, but occasionally (we've been dating for just over a year and this has happened only a few times) I'll miss a period, then get it about three weeks later, much heavier and more painful, and accompanied almost every time by an intense feeling of sadness or even depression. I believe these may be pregnancies that didn't take properly, and my body knows it and grieves because I, unknowing of the goings-on in there, can't grieve a child I never knew I could have lost in the first place.

Or I could just be trying to out meaning into an otherwise innocuously irregular cycle. Who knows. -_-

I've been pregnant seven times. I've had two miscarriages. I have five kids and two step. NO MORE FOR US! LOL!

No, I'm on birth control but I hope I can have kids when I am ready.

I've been pregnant 5 times, just miscarried my 5th last week, :o(, but we do have 4 beautiful girls.

Nope! And I don't plan on it for a very long time.
