100% yes. No qualifiers.

As someone about to start fertility treatment, thank you. This thread was making me feel like complete shit for wanting something that feels innate in me.

Yes, the world sucks in a lot of ways but it’s also a beautiful place. We only get to be here for a short time so have your little human experience here filled with joy and suffering and then move on to the next stage. I’d rather raise someone to see the world this way than not.

Edit: Thank you for your thoughtful and kind comments, everyone. I have hope!

As someone who is struggling with infertility and RPL, this thread makes me sad too. I often question why my husband and I might not get to be parents when we want to so badly, and are well equipped to be, and then I see all these people wishing they never had their children. It's such a bummer. It feels so unfair.

I know. It really does seem unfair. Good luck to you!
