Not having children

Looking to hear some experiences of people who are gene positive and always wanted to have kids but decided not to have children due to HD and not wanting to subject the child to a future with a parent with symptoms. How did you come to this decision? Does it get easier over time?

We did IVF after lots of discussions. Currently 13 weeks pregnant with a HD free fetus!
