I definitely agree that settling for the next warm body that comes along just for the sake of having a child is not going to ultimately make you happy. You won't be happy, the guy won't be happy, and any children will definitely not be happy.

When my husband and I got married, the idea that it would be difficult to have kids never even crossed my mind. But what we've had to go through (and granted, it hasn't been nearly as tough for us as it has for a lot of other women here) has brought us closer together and made us stronger. If you're not in a strong relationship before and while going through IF, I think in most cases it would be more likely to tear you apart.
