Positively Childless
If you choose to remain childless from the start, or after unsuccessful IVF treatments, see it as a positive life choice.
Deciding not to have children is an even braver and more unpredictable life choice than choosing to have them because of the ensuing consequences from family/general society. You are not conforming to what society expects of you. You develop your own identity in other ways. You strike your own path.
You may find yourself having to defend this decision, as others will not understand your not choosing to pursue IVF egg donation or adoption. It is very important that you understand why the choice you make is right for you and come to terms with that choice. It is YOUR choice and you do NOT have to explain your decision, or feel guilty about it. Loneliness is often a worry when thinking about being childless. But there are no guarantees that a child will be there for you in later life and you may have had feelings of greater loneliness once children had left home.
Remember that everybody has regrets about some of the life choices they make and that you may get these feelings too from time to time, but they pass. Take pride in your independence and your ability to do what is right for yourself, whatever choice you finally make. Enjoy your freedom and self-reliance.
