Nearly 40, have endo and considering IVF….. is there any hope???

[Hopeful199]

Hi All,

I am 40 next April and have 2 gorgeous DCs (6 and 9).

The gap is bigger than I’d ever hoped for. I had a miscarriage earlier in the year and thought I’d made me peace with sticking at 2, but I just haven’t.

I have endometriosis which was only identified after 2+ years TTC and had a laparoscopy and hystroscopy Sept 2020.

Now 18 months on I feel like i don’t have time to try naturally anymore. It’s just too stressful all round. I have made enquiries for IVF but the more I read the worse the stats look for people in my position 😟

I don’t want to feel panicked as I know it doesn’t help so just wondering if anyone has any incite or suggestions on maximising my chances….. or am I just wasting time, money, emotion and energy!!?

Anyone?......................

I am older than you and I am having IVF atm, in hopes to achieve my dream of a DC2. I have a lovely 8yo boy, and I just want another one.

I was trying naturally for more than 3 years when I finally decided to go for IVF. Actually, some lovely ladies around here helped me to understand that sometimes we need help and it's okay.

I had some therapy during the summer and at the same time my DH was shopping around IVF clinics. Now, we're undergoing the process.

If you need to talk to someone give me a call.

Oh my, I meant message me 😅

@dutchessmom I will message you, thank you so much!
