I’m another one. My husband and I would have loved to have children but it just didn’t happen. No reason. We did IVF for 3 years which is a hell of a roller coaster in itself. We did have 2 pregnancies which sadly ended in miscarriages at 14 and 10 weeks. I am now 56 and family have finally stopped feeling sorry for me but, oh how hard it was when we were surrounded by all the new babies at that time!
We are OK with being childless now and are enjoying the next generation of babies coming from all our nieces and nephews.
Did all the IVF drugs kick start my 100% ER/PR breast cancer? Who knows but it was something we had to do - we gave it our best shot and have no regrets.
It’s interesting that being childless (by choice or otherwise) isn’t something we have necessarily shared here previously and I’m quite humbled by how many of us have shared this. Jane x
