I don't think Cristina sees not having babies as a cost. It was never something she wanted, so she didn't lose anything by choosing not to. The cost for her came (in the 10.17 future) when she gave up that piece of herself to give Owen what he demanded so that they could stay in Seattle. And then she kept giving. She gave up her trial to Shane because she didn't want to abandon Theo and ultimately gave up everything she'd worked so hard for so she wouldn't lose Owen or be forced to move to Germany.
