Anyone regret not being able to have a baby with new partner?

[KITTENSOCKS]

I had a son during my 11 yr marriage which ended in divorce. I remarried in my 40s but no success in getting pregnant naturally, or with Clomid; then my periods became irregular and the menopause started. As IVF success rates for my age group are so low we decided against this, I just couldn't face the disappointment.
I feel so cheated especially as 1st husband has had 3 kids in 3 yrs with 2nd wife, yet no interest in another baby when we were together (I would have ended up doing everything for the kids, housework, shopping plus working full time whhile he was surgically joined to the computer. I felt like a single parent anyway. My only son decided to live with them and won't see me any more. I don't feel envious when I see mums with new babies, just a deep sadness.

Kittensocks my mum met my stepdad when she was in her late 30s and they never had any children together (I am not sure they even tried though) and she does regret it now, though i think she has empty nest syndrome alot of the time

how old is your son?

Kittensocks - I only have 1 son from my marriage and my hubby never wanted any more but I got broody at 40 but he didn't want another child and it's SO annoying when you are at loggerheads.

I sort of messed about with my pills - ended up pregnant and he wasn't really happy about it because he'd just had an accident - is now semi-disabled and we were financially and mentally low so I ended up having a termination knowing I had to to save my marriage as I felt guilty having been deceiptful.

It's the biggest regret of my life but I have to live with it and now I'm having trouble TTC at 43 as I was so upset he said he would be OK trying for another baby but it took him a year later & now I'm struggling to get pregnant.

Life is hard for sure. If I'd have known how difficult it is to get preg I'd never have had the termination. I got pregnant instantly twice so I didn't even consider it would be hard, even at my age.

I understand your deep sadness, I still might feel cheated like you but what can you do? Sometimes you just have to let go and not hold on to the bitterness. I'm so sorry it turned out that way for you, really I am. Life's a bit**.

Do you get to see your son at least?

Thanks all for messages, no I haven't seen my son since he was 11 he will be 17 in Aug. He sent me a horrible note saying he didn't want to see me anymore, was going to live with dad and stepmum and half sisters, hates my new husband and angry that we moved house. Only positive thing is that I can have nothing to do with his dad who was a controlling bully during our marriage, and after divorce about our sons care, took me to court for formal residency but was never granted. Son voted with his feet,can't believe that dad had nothing to do with that.
