DH and I have been TTC since Nov 2015, so around 17 months. We have no known fertility problems other than age (I am 40, 41 in July and DH is 47) and have had a number of IUIs, all unsuccessful. Next step is IVF and consultant said not to wait too long as our chances go down every month. My AMH is 8.9.
Problem is, I can't seem to make a final decision to do IVF. I had a nurse consultant yesterday to begin the preparation month and I'm just not sure I can/want to go through it. I keep holding on hoping we will conceive naturally. DH and I each have 2 kids from previous relationships so were fertile at one point!
Should I keep putting it off until I'm certain I want to do IVF (which might never happen) or just get on with it. I feel like pushing it back a few more months to give TTC naturally one last try but that means by the time we do it I will nearly 41. How fast are my chances dropping?
