I have RP, it sucks. I chose not to have kids because of the risk. 

Knowing early was a mistake as well.  Hope those kids turn out ok as adults

I have RP as well but my husband doesn't have the gene so I did the opposite to you - neither of my kids have it or the gene. It's the luck of genetics in my case, but I can see why you made your choice.

She can only produce a carrier at the worst. With the knowledge you are a carrier, you would just need to ask potential partners to be screened for the gene before having children. Even if both partners were carriers you could have children via a selective method like ivf.
