4S and Having Children

[Guest guest]

My husband and I are discussing whether we want to have children. We

have been married for 2 years . I do have polycystic ovarian syndrome,

which is a form of infertility. We know if we decide to have children,

we will have to use fertility drugs, possibly in vitro fertilization to

have a baby. But I worry about my 4s. Will this affect me so badly

that it prevents me from being a good parent? Do I risk bringing a

child in the world with the same problem I have and subject it to the

daily hell I go through? My husband knew we may not even be able to

have children when we married because of my fertility issues, but I

don't want to go through all those treatments to get pregnant if I

shouldn't even be a mother in the first place. For those of you who do

have children, how do you handle it? What are some coping mechanisms?
