I'm a believer in regret - with the understanding that things are as they are and it will work out in some shape or form for the best. I regret not having children - sure it gives me opportunities for other things etc - and I probably would have made a lousy mother (!) but I think it is ok to regret the no child thing.
And it's ok to regret something that like this - remembering that you did what you did at the time and forgive yourself for the decisions you made and not beat yourself up for it - and ask for perhaps other opportunities. Use the regret as a catalyst for something better.
