I hope this is the board to get help.
I will turn 40 next month and me and my partner have no children. We only got married last year and I fell pregnant naturally after 4 months but had a mc.
Its now 6 months since the mc and though we have been ttc we've got nothing. I have got myself tested. My amh is 7.8 and docs advised me to do IVF.
Problem is I am scared shitless. Scared that the failure rate is still 85% per cycle for women my age, scared about the cost and scared about the impact it will have on my emotional health.
I am really stuck as I would love to get pg naturally but know time is not on my side at all. But neither do I have the time for lots of IVF cycles.
I went to see a counsellor after my mc but she seemed to think I just needed to relax and everything would be fine. I found her quite unhelpful, so don't know where to turn.
The awful reality is if I go through IVF (even 2 or 3 rounds) the odds are still are that I will be childless just thousands of pounds poorer. My AMH is not great so doubt I'd be a brilliant responder too.
How did you ladies make that leap to do IVF, how was your decision reached, particularly older ladies?
