Anyone else with seven or more children considering having another?

[SophieMumsy]

Anyone here with 7 or more? I said I would stop after 7th but I'm wanting more. Am I totally mad to want more?

Mumma here of 10. I also have an angel baby so guess that really makes me a mumma of 11. Last 4 kids were via ivf, currently been trying for one last baby for nearly 2yrs. Im doing my last egg retrieval next week and really hoping we get atleast some embryos to transfer. We had a chemical pregnancy in november of 2024 and a mc around april ish at 7 weeks and nothing since. Im also 41 and right in the middle of perimenopaus. Im praying we have one more but have decided we have been at it nearly 2yrs and if it hasnt happened now then it may not be meant to be.

May I ask what job your husband does to afford all the IVF and children?

@Miraclemuma03 how old are you, if you don't mind sharing?

Wow what?! I have one and he’s enough!

If you have space and cannot afford it then why not!

She's 41, it says in her post.

bit sexist eh?

As long as you have the time, energy and most importantly, a good enough income to support a lot of children, then go for it. I had four, and I couldn't have coped with any more, let alone afford any more. What sort of cars do you drive and what are is the age range of the children?

My eldest is 16 youngest is 3. We have a 7-seater KIA

Just curious, not sexist to think he works and she looks after the children. Or they may have a massive wealth of their own. Just wondering!

lol no! I’d be astonished if someone with 10 children has the time to work so don’t think they are wrong to assume the husband is funding the ivf…
