I'm 37.5. Been trying to conceive for just over two years.
First 15 cycles, nothing. Then I had a hycosy scan and got pregnant the first cycle after - I assumed that the hycosy had unblocked something as that seems fairly common. Unfortunately I miscarried after 7 weeks.
Got pregnant again four cycles later - unfortunately that was a chemical pregnancy.
Went to see a miscarriage specialist, found out I have Factor V Leiden and for the next pregnancy will need blood thinning injections. Me and DH have had lots of other fertility tests and they have all come back normal. I have good AMH too.
The miscarriage specialist was very optimistic and said it was likely I would fall again naturally within a couple of months and with the blood thinning treatment would be less likely to miscarry again. She said not to bother with IVF and to keep trying naturally as I know I can get pregnant and had got pregnant twice in five cycles.
But since then I have had 8 negative cycles. I am 38 next birthday and feel like I am running out of time. Everyone I know around me is getting pregnant. Everyone I know who has had a miscarriage seems to get pregnant again the next month. In total we have had 28 cycles and two pregnancies. At what point should I move to IVF? We have the money to go private.
