Trying for a second baby

I'm keen to try for a second baby but my partner is not. Everytime I try to talk to him about it, laying out all the reasons as to why I think it's a good idea, he just shuts the conversation down with a hard 'No'. Our first baby was conceived via IVF, and I have two embryos in storage. All I want to do is TRY for a second and he won't agree to it. If the embryo doesn't implant then at least I know I tried and I can move on. Not trying I will live the rest of my life with regret and resent my partner. I can't live the rest of my life like that. I feel this is breaking me as a person and ultimately will probably break our relationship 💔 I'm also 42 and running out of time to conceive. Anyone else going through the same? Please share your thoughts and support xxx

how old is your baby? xx

He was 2 last month

at this point personally i would ask your partner to go to couples therapy together to reach an agreement - but you need to have a think if he decides 100% he doesn't want another baby will you stay with him and accept not having another, or will you leave him and attempt to have another child (what if you can't have another? will you regret leaving him?). it's all a lot to think about 😢 i hope you're able to work it out x

Unfortunately it will take the two of you coming to an agreement to have another child, it’s obviously a huge commitment. I agree with the comment above. You need to have a conversation as to why he doesn’t want anymore and get to the foot of his decision. If he’s firm in his decision you’ll need to decide if you want to stay with him and be happy having no more children or have more children without him x
