Would you go through IVF for a 4th child after having your tubes removed?

BACKGROUND:
My husband and I have three kids (1, 3, and 5). I’m 35 and he’s 40. I’ve always wanted 4, but after our surprise 3rd, we thought we were done.

Now we’re both questioning that. We think we want a fourth.

THE ISSUE:

1) IVF is our only option.
I thought I had a tubal ligation that could potentially be reversed. I later learned my tubes were completely removed.

I’m an attorney and aware of the potential informed consent/malpractice issue. I’m not looking for legal advice.

But emotionally, needing IVF because of what happened makes this harder to process.

2) I have osteopenia.
It developed around pregnancy/postpartum. I’d also likely breastfeed for 1-2 years again, so my bone health is a consideration. I’m working with my doctors on that and am not looking for medical advice.

WHAT I’M STRUGGLING WITH:
Is IVF worth the physical and emotional toll for a 4th child?

How difficult is IVF while parenting three young kids?
What if we go through all of this and it doesn’t work?

Do I really want pregnancy and the newborn stage again?

The last one is complicated. I don’t necessarily want another baby. I want four children.

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DONE IVF:
If you already had three children but really wanted a fourth, would you go through IVF to have one more?

And for anyone who did IVF for a 3rd, 4th, or later child: Was it worth it? Would you do it again?

I’m open to hearing both yes and no. I know how fortunate I am to already have three children. I’m trying to figure out whether we’re truly done or whether I’ve spent the last year convincing myself we’re done because I thought the decision had already been made for us.

Hi everyone, hoping someone can help me identify the correct replacement part for my wrought iron patio chairs.

The bottom of each chair leg has a round white plastic-looking glide/insert already attached to it. The white piece sits on the outside of the circular metal foot of the chair so that’s the part that drags on the paver. Over time, the bottom of the white piece has worn down, so now the metal edge around it is scraping against my pavers whenever the chairs move. We purchased the chairs secondhand so I assume that the bottoms were once smooth and slippery.

The confusing part is that the white insert doesn’t seem removable. It almost looks molded or permanently attached into the bottom of the chair leg, so I’m not sure if:

• the white piece itself is supposed to pop out,

• a new cap/glide is supposed to go over it,

• or if I’m searching for the completely wrong type of replacement part.

Most of the replacement glides I find online look flat or look like they install into an open hollow chair foot, but mine already has this white circular insert in place.

The chair is heavy wrought iron patio furniture, and the goal is to have it slide smoothly on pavers without scratching them or making a scraping sound.

Does anyone know:

• what this type of glide is called,

• whether the white insert should be removed,

• and what replacement part I should actually be buying? Thank you!
