A question and I really hope I can get some responses. My husband and I have been ttc for 6 years. We had all the tests and I have had all the examinations, blood tests etc etc. Nothing has come back as wrong but yet there’s no baby. We saw an infertility expert who said our only hope is ICSI (IVF). Either his sperm lack some enzymes or my eggs are too hard! Anyway, that’s background. My question is this - is it okay to say I can’t have children? We’ve chosen not to have IVF - emotionally I just can’t cope with anymore trying. I told a friend and they told me that not having a child is my choice as I’ve rejected IVF. Therefore being childless is my choice. What’s okay? I’m so confused :(

What’s the definition of ‘can’t have children’?
