I’ve NC for this post but am a regular mumsnet poster.
Had a total salpingectomy last year and it’s taken me some time to come to terms with it (they had only anticipated removing one tube). As a result I delayed an NHS funded cycle but after some counselling and the passage of time, now feel ready to proceed.
When we were first referred for fertility treatment I was 34, I’ve now just turned 36. Will they ask me to repeat all of my tests? I’m really really worried about the results - as I’m older and I’ve also heard the lack of tubes reduce blood supply to the ovaries. My DH has no issues. Will they ask him to repeat his tests?
Im angry at myself for not taking the chance 9 months ago - if I had, I could be just about to give birth! But I just didn’t feel ready. Physically or emotionally. I drank heavily over Christmas and basically went off the rails a little. My lifestyle is a lot more healthy now and I’m finding myself ‘nesting’ I suppose and being much more of a homebody. I’ve reduced alcohol consumption to around 3 glasses per week and am taking pre pregnancy supplements. My BMI is also now in the healthy range.
Honest thoughts on the above or any words of wisdom from anyone who’s been in a similar position would be appreciated.

36 and IVF my only option. Have I left it too late? Worried.
