Hey Mumsnet!
I'm looking for some perspectives on my upcoming decision. I am a lesbian and my partner and I have made the decision to try and have a child. I will be 39 in a couple of months. I've been to a local fertility clinic to have an MOT. Uterus and ovaries look good, normal blood flow, 6 follicles in my left ovary and they couldn't get a good enough view of my right ovary to count follicles (they could see one very clearly as I was about to ovulate) but amh came back at 18.8, which DR says is good for my age and likely means right ovary has more follicles that the left. Clinic suggested that I could try IUI (as I would be under 40), but also suggested IVF lite is a possibility. I have no known fertility issues and have a mostly regular cycle.
IUI is certainly less expensive, and also less invasive, but IVF has a better chance of success. Any thoughts or advice is welcome.
