I am 31 years and quite happy not having any children. I don't want to have any children and will probably get a tubal ligation this year. I know there are other women who know they don't want children and have to put up with relatives (mainly mothers) and friends insisting that every woman should have one child. I know our biological function is to reproduce, but as human beings we do not always follow this as our prime objective in life.

My husband and I have been married for ten years and are happily childfree. I don't begrudge people who make the choice to have children and are responsible about it. It just wasn't something my husband or I wanted for ourselves.
I get an occasional question from people about it and once in a great while I get forceful "You're selfish!" comments, but in the grand scheme, it doesn't really affect me.
Procreating for propagation ceased being an issue long ago, if anything I feel good for not contributing to overpopulation. (That's just my personal opinion)

I think every woman gets to decide whether or not she wants children and there's no wrong answer to that. If you decided you don't want children, great. I think it's really good that you're doing something about it too so that you don't "have an accident" and then end up with a child that wasn't wanted.
I always wanted children, and I'm so happy with my decision to have them. I've got three gorgeous kids and love to bits!

My girlfriend got hers tubal at 27. She was perfectly healthy. She just didn’t want any kids. I had my vasectomy at 21. We met when I was 36, and she was 31. I am 40, and she is 35. We are as happy as can be.

I didn't want any children either, and when I found out I was pregnant I was mortified. Now, she's one of the loves of my life and I couldn't imagine life without her. As for you. If you don't want children I think it would be self"ish" to have them. I agree with you. Just cuz you're a woman doesn't mean you HAVE to have one. Don't let others fill you with guilt for your decision. It's your life not theirs. ;-)

I have no regrets not having had any children. If I couldn't give my children at least better than I had in terms of love, a decent home and a good father than, it wasn't worth it to me to procreate more misfits to occupy the planet.

Everyone has their own preferences of what they want in their life.
You don't want children and that should all be respected.
I want children; but I don't think that every female has to have children. If a female or male doesn't want children, they shouldn't have to. Just because someeone else thinks they should doesn't mean they should.

It is your life and your body and your decision, nobody has the right to tell you anything.
But make sure you think about it really well, try to imagine yourself when you are more than fifty years, with no kids, will you be lonely?
Will you need kids to stand by you?
If the answer is no, then go ahead, make your decision and be happy about it and do not listen to anybody.
Good luck

I have 2 children whom I love. I couldn't imagine life without them, but if you don't want to give all of yourself to them then by all means don't have them. We have way too many children in this world who were not wanted and because of that not taken care of.

IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatment; IUI, ICSI and Laparoscopic surgery is have become very common now. The cost is very low and the medical services are very good in India.
My cousin and her husband got their IVF treatment in India through the Forerunners Healthcare in India and is all praise for this company. She is a known case of PCOS.She is a very happy mother of a baby boy now. She just paid 2500 pounds for the full IVF treatment in India for which she was quoted 8000 pounds in private setup in UK.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the newspapers. I have also read about a Chinese couple who planned surrogacy through the Forerunners Healthcare. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery and infertility treatment like IVF, IUI, and ICSI abroad for low price. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery and treatment can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost surgery in India. Indian corporate hospitals are comparable to hospitals anywhere in the world. In fact, India has medical facilities that are comparable with the USA, UK and Canada. India offers World Class Medical Facilities, comparable with any of the western countries. India has state of the art Hospitals and the best medical experts. With the best infrastructure, the best possible Medical facilities, accompanied with the most competitive prices, you can get the treatment done in India at the lowest prices
