@thejessclaire: The biggest plot twist after infertility wasn’t getting pregnant, it was realizing I didn’t actually want to be a mom #childfree #infertility #childfreeafterinfertility #childfreebychoice #infertilityjourney
Like I want kids but I don’t think I want them badly enough to spend tens of thousands of dollars just to conceive them

I want kids the way deadbeat dads love to call themselves fathers. Be there for the fun and good times, ditch the bad, give myself credit for everything and still remake my life with no regard for anyone else 😭

I did this, but with marriage. I cried so hard and grieved so loud about not being married, I realized I didn’t want to a wife, I wanted to have a wedding. 🧍🏽♀️

I think if more people had the “do I even want this” thought process prior they wouldn’t go through IVF and stuff to begin with. So many people only “want” kids because they think it’s what they have to do. Free will is amazing

Yes! I got clarity after my chemical pregnancy. For the two days I was pregnant I felt trapped and I was like oh no this isn’t what I want

This! I wanted to be a mom so bad and tried to get pregnant for years. Finally just accepted that I wasn’t meant to be a mom. Relationship ended, new relationship began. GOT PREGNANT 6 months in. Mourned the childfree life I planned. I love my baby, but I will never have another one and there still are dayssss I struggle with guilt immensely.

YES!!! My husband and I have been infertile for the past 5 years, we’ve recently been having talks “do we even want kids?” And the answer is no, which is such a shock after doing everything we possibly could for the past 5 years to have children.

Me and my husband literally just decided we aren’t going to do IVF after 9 years of infertility. And I’ve never felt more at peace.

It’s better to regret not having children than regret having them 💚

I’ve stopped pacifying people when people say “oh maybe when you meet the right person.” No, the right person will support the lifestyle choice of being childfree or they wouldn’t be the right person

I was on my second bottle of prenatals (pre conception) when I burst into tears one morning and I realized I didn’t want to take them bc I didn’t actually want to get pregnant 😭😅

Öffff :
I never wanted kids, married someone who didn’t want them either, then randomly found out at a doctor’s appointment that I’m infertile. The universe really said, “Don’t worry, we got you.” 😅😂

As a doctor, I have encountered this several times. Women who spent tens of thousands of dollars on IVF and years obsessing over getting pregnant, only to despise being mothers once they got there. There never will be any, but I would love to read some research on it.

Same! I was oddly relieved when I couldn’t have kids, and that’s when I realized that wasn’t the life I wanted all along!

This is a thought I always kept to myself out of fear of being judged 😭 thank you for sharing this. Struggled with infertility/miscarriage to the point of not wanting kids at all. Now I don’t even picture myself being a mom.

Theresa Van Dam :
Dealing with something similar right now. We got so far into treatment and then we both went “wait… is this ACTUALLY what we want right now?” Who knows, it may change later on, but as of now I stopped all treatment

shameen duba🇮🇳 🇦🇪 :
We were about to be on ivf journey..then we decided having children is not that much important where we have to spend our hard earned money just for chances of having a child..then we ditched the whole plan and enjoyed and then got pregnant naturally 🤷🏻♀️

I love when women are real about their experiences- you create more space for other women to open up/explore their own complex feelings 💙
