After 2 years of unexplained primary infertility we were lucky enough to have a natural bfp resulting in a gorgeous 3yo. We started trying again a year later - earlier than we would have done without fertility/age worries as still exhausted from lack of sleep. 2.5 years after that, I'm 41, we're still pretty exhausted and we need to decide whether to try IVF or not.
Right now I feel very pessimistic about chances of IVF success - feels like it would be an expensive and uncomfortable way of setting ourselves up for more heartbreak. So maybe we should just be happy to have one wonderful child. But can we live with not having given ourselves every chance of having another child?
Would love to hear from others who are and have been in this position. I'm struggling to know what to do.
