The maximum number that you think you will have biologically.
Only biological not adopted.
In case of IVT, please take for men, donor-sperm as non-biological and for women, donor-egg as non-biological. If you are a professional sperm-donor, then do not count children born through sperm-donation.
That poll had option “0” originally. But apparently it automatically gets taken out (but “zero” is fine). So votes initially cast for “0” were getting reflected in “1” , votes cast for “1” were reflected in “2”.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Please re-vote here, Thanks.
Here; also by truthSeeker2. This was apparently meant as a replacement for that thread where the OP didn’t make the poll anonymous; but a moderator (Gukumatz) went and changed the poll in the other thread to anonymous so this thread is redundant.
No no. That poll is redundant because it originally had option “0” which went away and all votes cast for “0” (around 20 votes) were reflecting in option “1” , and similarly all votes cast for “1” were reflecting in “2” and so on.
Anonymous thing was indeed resolved by the mod but that’s not the issue.
Since this is a redone poll, I’ll repost what I said in the other thread:
I answered 0 (zero). I’m male, 47, and to the best of my knowledge I’ve never knocked anybody up. Given that I’ve been celibate for the last 18 years, and nobody has come after me for child support or even named me as the father of their child, I’m pretty confident with that 0.
I did question that once. A few years ago I had a young woman coworker who was 18 or 19 years old, and she bore an uncanny resemblance to a woman I had sex with once or twice way back when I was 22. This coworker was just the right age to be the child of that union. And on top of that, conversation revealed that she never knew her father. I was a little bit nervous until I asked her mom’s name, and it wasn’t the same name and her mom’s age was all wrong.
Zero, but I would say quite unfortunately. I’m getting older and no closer to having a chance at having biological children, and I don’t expect that will change quickly enough to beat the biological time bomb - er, clock.
I have two. I would like another, and I’ve still got eggs left, but during my last pregnancy my body was screaming NO in the form of hyperemesis. I’m listening to it, and have stopped at two.
I’ve always wanted a big family - my daydreams have 4 kids in them - but after two years of trying, I may have to accept that it’s not going to happen for us. So my answer is currently zero, and I’m not in a position where I can say oh, I’ll eventually have 2, because I just don’t know.
My wife and I simply never got around to it. Other things seemed to be higher priorities for us at the time, eg, increasing our academic achievements, buying houses, cars, a boat, etc… We woke up one day and were in our forties. We realized then that, for us, the baby-making ship had sailed.
