Hi,
Hope you can help.
After 3 months of trying at the age of 39 I fell pregnant. Unfortunately I had a mmc at 12 weeks.
Four months later, I went to 3 IVF clinics who all told me to start IVF immediately due to my age. My AMH (after much retesting and a few scares even being told I was infertile!! ) was 8.
I was all set to go down the IVF route when (8 months after the mmc) I discovered I was pregnant again. Unfortunately last week I miscarried at 6 weeks.
I am 40 and (4 months to be precise!) And wondering whether I now consider IVF at all again?
After a total of 11 months of trying I did get pregnant twice. I am loathe to go to a IVF clinic again because they advised me to do IVF becauae of my age and AMH level, when I did get pregnant naturally again (without the need for drugs/costly treatment).
My doctor told me that IVF helps you get pregnant but not stay pregnant. As I have managed to get pregnant twice would I need it again? My age will make both natural conception and IVF tougher. Or is IVF my best hope? I am confused.
Any advice from would be appreciated.
