I have known my husband badly wants to be a father since early in our dating, and he is an only child. Yeah, there is loads of guilt here for me.

Would we have had the stress early on in our relationship without infertility? We would have had some certainly, but the infertility was a great black cloud - I felt chased, hunted by infertility - ever present. Would my fiance have broken up with me had I gotten pregnant or had a baby - no way. He made that crystal clear. Would we have ended up apart eventually? Perhaps, like 50% of marriages we wouldn't have made it, but for us (moreso for him) infertility was insurmountable.
