I was the "only" child that my parents had, and was somewhat lonely growing up. I longed for a brother or sister to play with, share things with and to tell my deepest secrets to. I did have cousins anf friends, but it's not the same as a blood related sibling. I urge parents with only one child, to at least "think" about the idea of maybe just one more child.

I am a fan of trying to get pregnant. I want to have baby and I would like to see an article about how to get pregnant, not on the reasons why she does not want one. I want to know if I need to take certain vitamins, or maby certain foods that can promote pregnancy? That is what I would like to know.

I found this very helpful. After many unsuccessful infertility treatments, I'm going through the same thought process. It's so hard to say enough is enough when you really want another baby.

I would like to see more articles bringing attention to funding for fertility treatments. Infertility is an illness not a choice. We should get better medical coverage. There shouldn't be a limit to coverage. Why should someone else get to decide how many kids you get to have? Not everyone makes the money to afford these treatments. I would love a second child, but Illinois mandate has decided how many cycles should be covered for me. The worst part...with assistance/insurance coverage, I could have my dream come true and have another child. I so badly want my daughter to have a sibling. I think more people need to speak up about this growing issue. I know too many women and men that are having fertility issues.

I personally am not in favor of fertility treatments. But I also have never had any desire to have children. Some people may see some of the cons as selfish, like alot of work, no time for self, but it's a reality and a life choice. I tend to see some of the pros listed as selfish. In a world that is getting overcrowded leading to used up resources, pollution,crime etc.. why add more if your reasons are just to have a bigger family, " to see what you can make", or just pressure from society/religion. There are plenty of orphan children needing homes.

i've had 2 miscarriages, and no children as of yet. I'm 28, my hubby is 37, we have been trying for 2 years now, with no success. My biggest fear is never having even one. I think children are a blessing, and although having another is a wonderful gift, being thankful for what you have is just as much of a gift. I love your articles, read them all the time. keep up the good work.

I was just browsing the web and I can't remember what I entered in but I ended up coming across seeing an article that you wrote. I am a patient of yours and I had no idea what you have done. It is amazing and wonderful what you have done outside of being THE BEST OBGYN. I came across this time to quit baby making. I am 39 years old. I want to have another baby. My son is 7 years old and I always wanted two children. Some of what you have said dealing with the pros and cons, I do agree with. Is there anything that I can do to try and get pregnant besides trying fertility? I hope that I become pregnant soon and then I can buy your book; The Pregnancy Guide. Thank you. I will continue to check your website all the time. Very grateful.
