I agree with your first point, but I thought that was kind of the whole point: it was obviously a bad choice, even if it was understandable, and I'm pretty sure she'll realize that soon.

As for the second...well, I think that's jumping to conclusions. The Law Of Inverse Fertility doesn't always apply, sometimes people who have no interest in having kids learn they're infertile, and how are they supposed to react? No matter how far kids are from their mind, do you think anyone would be actually happy to learn they were infertile? It's totally realistic for them to be conflicted and sad because the choice and hypotheticals were torn from them, just as it's realistic for a person who wants kids to feel lost and sad because their hopes and dreams were torn for them. I didn't see any evidence that Robin started pining for kids and being some average woman who suddenly wanted a conventional life. Just because she was sad and wistful doesn't mean she suddenly desperately wanted kids and a regular life. She was shaken because her future suddenly had a door slammed on the path of "motherhood", and even if she wasn't planning on kids, it's understandable for anyone, but ESPECIALLY Robin, who values her freedom to control her own life, be her own person, do whatever the hell she wants, and make her own choices so highly (which ironically is part of the reason she never wanted kids) to be extremely upset over that.

And my statement that she didn't suddenly start wanting a conventional life isn't just my opinion, it's fact: Future!Ted confirmed that in the future between 2011 and 2030, Robin became a famous journalist, a successful businesswoman, a world traveler, and a frickin' bullfighter. Nothing conventional about that at all. And just because she was sad at the news that she couldn't ever have kids (seriously, WHO wouldn't be?), doesn't mean she didn't enjoy that life.

As for all her personal problems and the shit she's gone through: bad things happen to people. It's a rough patch in her life no doubt. I'm sure she'll get through it.

TL;DR: just because Robin was upset about having the choice to control her future torn from her, doesn't mean she suddenly wants a conventional life, and based on Future Ted's spoilers, she had a gloriously unconventional one.
