My DH and I have one DD who is nearly 3.5. We've been ttc our second for 2 years and have recently had the news that we are unlikely to conceive naturally again. DH has very high levels of abnormal sperm, and I have one fully blocked tube and it's likely I have damage to the other one. If our DD was born under these circumstances then we are VERY lucky to have her. And I know how lucky I am to have her, I adore her and love every minute with her.
Saying all that I've been desperate for another baby these years, and now it looks like it may never happen. We've had a private IVF referral (recommended we do ICSI as well), we can only afford to do it once and I don't know what to do! I'll regret it if we don't. but how likely is it to work on round one? The pressure will be immense, I'm scared, and really struggling to accept all this.
Is there anything we can do to maximise our chances of it working? How many of you did it work for on the first try? Has anyone else been in this boat? What did you do?
