Thank you so much @PetraRabbit for your advice. Wow, it's really uplifting to read your story (despite your past sad MC) it's great you are 9 weeks! Congratulations and really good luck. 
Thank you for sharing and offering your thoughts on IVF. I know what you mean about the whole IVF thing what with the price and the odds of success versus age. It's so tricky to make that judgement. I am so sorry to all those giving away baby things and accepting it won't happen. Incredibly sad, and I hope the joy of having one child will soften the blow for some of them.
For those who have reached a place of acceptance that they will not have any children at all, I completely take my hat off to them. I can't imagine what that's like and how to move forward as a woman or a couple when that last sliver of hope of ever being a parent is completely gone. At my age, I am praying for one, but would love two one day, but then you think, based on age and timings, one might not be possible, let alone more than two! But keeping hope for now, and thanks to pp on here it really helps.
@Meredithdorothy2016 I am sorry, it must be hard for any woman TTC and not being successful, but to be honest with you I couldn't believe it when I read your post (if not a typo) that you already have 8 children and want a 9th?? I wish you well, but I'm sorry that I can't get my head around that for many reasons.
