Only child after two miscarriages

[MeganN91]

Hi. In 2019 we decided to try for our second child. Our son is now 5. At the time he was 3. So it took us a year to conceive. And in jan 2021 I suffered a miscarriage. Also recently this month I've gone through another miscarriage. Due to what they found on the scans they think I might of had a partial molar pregnancy. Im currently waiting for my biopsy results to come back. So if it is a molar , I may have to wait 6 months to try again. By that stage our son will be almost 6. I've always wanted 2 children , my son is desperate for a sibling. Now I'm in the predicament of do I risk and try for a third time and possibly miscarry again , or do I not and leave my son as an only child. I know it's fine to have an only child. But it just wasn't our plan. My head in scrambled. Really I think I just need to vent and maybe get some opinions

Thank you

I’m sorry you have been through this twice, OP. Miscarriage is very distressing, let alone having the possibility of molar pregnancy being raised.
I think, hard as it is, you need to just park the decision until you get your results. And if you do need to wait 6 months, it gives more time for your emotions to settle.
It sounds from your post that you very much want a second child. If that’s the case, you need to weigh that against the risk of another miscarriage and how you would cope with that.
If your desire for a baby is overwhelming, then you will want to go ahead regardless of possible pregnancy loss.
But if it was just “might be nice for DS to have a sibling, but no big deal”, then you might be less inclined to try.
I don’t think anyone on MN can make a decision for you, but you can use us as a sounding board to examine your feelings.
Take your time, and let yourself heal before the next step.
