I think what really matters in life differs from person to person. To me, it was finding the love of my life, getting married and having a family. Two down, one to go!

To my best friend, it was earning a PhD, joining the Navy, finding the love of her life and marrying him and having a family.

Some of my other friends have no interest in having children and instead, are focusing on their career. Sooo... I just think it depends on who you are.

Good luck with starting a family. Chin up. I know someone who tried for 10+ years to get pregnant, had IVF several times and the last time they could afford to try, it stuck. She had a daughter in March. About two months ago, she found out she was pregnant again - quite unexpectedly - and is now getting ready for baby #2 not so long after she was beginning to think there would never even be a baby #1!
