I have two healthy beautiful dc's and was adamant at 34 that i would never have another baby. i was sterilised as i lay on the table having my son. i was very happy with my partner at the time - he was 43 and there was no need to have more babies. however, we are now divorced and i have a new p who has never been married nor had children. i always made it clear that i couldn't get pregnant and he never really asked why. we went away on holiday a few weeks ago and had 'the chat' about me having children and him not. he said that he would, on balance, like his own child but that it wasn't a dealbreaker. i always hoped this would never happen to me because it is one of those all or nothing situations. if i was to contemplate it, i would need ivf but am 40 already. does anyone have experience of this situation and how did it work out for you? many thanks in advance....
