Just 2 for me, ihad 3 miscarriages between Keira & Cooper, i actually thought she would be an only child.

With all that stress, we decided not to have anymore if I did finally get pregnant. We got Coop & I had my tubes tied the next day.

Mine are 6 & 3.

3, with one on the way. And I also went through infertility before conceiving #1, so this is a miracle to me!

I've got 2, both girls, plus a 22 year old stepdaughter. I am done. I was very fortunate to not have to deal infertility. I wish I could give my fertility to everyone who wants a baby.

We have all boys!!

Aaron is 19
Jason is 5
Seth is 4
Derek is 1

I lost one pregnancy right before Derek....I actually got pregnant with Derek the month following my m/c. We are thankful that we never had difficulty GETTING pregnant but I did struggle to keep babies IN. Three out of our four boys were premature and two had a NICU stay.

I would love to have a little girl (or even another little boy!!) but we are DONE...OFFICIALLY done!!!

1- turning 8 next month

and unless they somehow magically fix me or come up with some way to guarantee safe pregnancy for me in the future- it's staying that way. Plus............. i'm way past the phase where i'd tolerate another infant in my house. I didn't even tolerate ce as an infant hahah jk

I have 2 - boy 24 years old and girl 11 years old. Thought DS was going to be an only child, and he pretty much was, but after hoping and trying for 13 years along came DD... talk about a shocker!

I also have a 2.5 year-old granddaughter

an adopted sibling group of three that is 21,20 and 19 (oldest 2 are girls and then boy)
Landon - 6
Foster son - 15 months.

And if you REALLY want to make your head spin..........three grand daughters and my first grandson due in January! AND.....I am only 35! LOL Never gave birth either! :P

ETA....only Landon and baby are home though. My house has calmed down a lot in the last couple of years with the older ones moved out.

She'll be an only child and I'm fine with that.

We have 3...
Moriah - almost 6 was a clomid baby
Isaac - 3 was a IVF baby
Asher - 10 months was a SURPRISE, you can get pregnant AND not miscarry baby

and we have 3 frozen babies, not sure when we're going to try with them... but we did make sure there are no chances for any more surprises

We have 2 boys - one 3 years and one 5 months. I'm like 99% sure we're done. Much to the chagrin of ... well, everyone in the world, who all want us to try for a girl! (But I'm pretty sure my husband's genetic makeup does not allow for girl genes...his whole family is practically all boys!)

3. Two boys that are 5 and 8, and a 3 year old girl - all are clomid babies. We are done. I think I will always miss having a baby around the house, though. I tell people that the only way I would have another one is if I win the lottery

2

Avery is 6 and Ella will be 3 next month. Both big surprises after a combined total of about 6 years unexplained infertility. I always wanted 3 but by the time Ella was born I was 35 and just couldn't see myself going through another pregnancy. Besides..there were long years when we thought we'd never have children so I count my 1-2 blessings every day

I have 2,

and thought for years we'd never have even one? But we are thankful for our two kids and have no more plans on having anymore. I have a daughter Lyberti who will be 8 on the 10th of next month and a son Jaidyn who is 3. I am blessed beyond words to have one of each!!

3..

Mitchell is 13
Hope is 10
permanent surgery done at this point, cause we were "done"....

Elijah is 6, and was adopted. (came home at 9 months from Korea)

I wouldn't mind having another...but I just don't see that happening anytime soon. In 2 more years I will start to "age out" of most adoption programs, anyway.

2 - 4-year-old girl and 5-month-old boy. For now, we're thinking we may be done with 2, but we'll see!

I didn't know you could be too old to adopt! That's crazy!

Two boys for me 19 & 16. I always wanted a girl but it the back of my mind I knew I would just end up with a pack of boys. I am content to wait for grand-daughters, but not any time soon!

Hugs to all the ladies who are trying and hoping so hard for a baby......

Just two--JP will be 12 next month and Devin will be 9 next Friday (18th). Andrew and I would love to have more, but considering we've only had one year with me on BC since D's birth--I'd say we're done by God's will. As much as I hate to say it, that's probably for the best since I'm 37 and he's 41.

We have three and are completely done. Kaylie is almost 10, Kelsie is 7.5 and Kyle is 4.5. Though I now babysit my 4mo old nephew every day during the week so most days it feels like I have 4 kids lol! Whenever I have to go out with all 4 of them it's definitely overwhelming sometimes so I think it's a good thing we stopped after 3.

We have 3 plus 3 angel babies and we are done, I only agreed to the c-section they wanted if they would sterilise me at the same time. Lukas is 9, Logan is 2 and Leia is 4 weeks. Our angel babies are Gaiebraille and Ambrose (miscarriages) and Leo (died at 3 months old). Pregnancy is too difficult for me to do it again, each one has been worse than the last and I am glad it's no longer going to be an issue. I really hope all of you struggling with infertility will be blessed with beautiful babies of your own soon (((hugs))). Hugs Crystal xx

I have no babies which makes me sad, all I ever wanted to be was a Mummy but that isn't going to happen so I'm working on coming to terms with that

We've got a "yours, mine, and ours" situation - We each have 1 from a previous marriage, and our 1st together is due in Feb. So 3 total.

We have 4- 3 biological kids (dd 15, ds, 13, ds 9) and we just adopted our 2 year old foster daughter....another child was NOT in our plans, but we fell in love with her when the worker brought her through the door 16 months ago!

We have 4 boys: 19, 17, and 13 year old twins. I've also miscarried 3 times, but never had fertility issues. We've been done since the twins were born. I had no faith that trying again for a girl would have been successful - I've actually kind of convinced myself that the 3 miscarriages were girls and for some reason I just couldn't carry them.

I hope all the ladies wishing for babies get them.
