Pregnancy / IVF after stroke?

Hi there, I’m a stroke survivor currently TTC with no luck - have just found out that due to an issue with my OH sperm we might need IVF. I know that this could raise my risk of stroke recurrence (as could pregnancy in general) - would love to hear from anyone who has had a stroke / blood clot issue & successfully carried a pregnancy or had IVF? Feeling very alone right now.

Not me, but my relative's wife had a stroke in her early 30s. At that point she had a 4 and 2 year old. She had a third child only a couple of years or so after her stroke. I don't know any details as they live in another country but that was all almost 20 years ago now and the woman and her child are both well.
