Hi,
I hope this is the right place to post this. Have 1 DC already (aged 7) conceived via IVF (first time, very smooth ride, better than anticipated and available on nhs). From point of diagnosis (bilateral tubal damage following uterine infections and other post cancerous stuff) conceived within 3 months. So ecstatic and happy. Feel very privileged about receiving excellent care. DC is everything and more. I focussed on my career post dc (think doctor now) and so trying not been high on agenda as waiting a long time to gain training place on highly competitive course). I understand many of you ladies would give anything to have a child and I wish you all the best of luck and love on your journeys.
My question is though, I am really worried about trying for dc2 in case it doesn't work (I'm 35 now). I know the odds of success are way lower now than when I was 28 which I know I was extremely lucky!
But although I have faced infertility, I have not faced failed IVF cycles, or miscarriages and I am in such a dilemma as to whether I continue to be grateful for what I've got or put myself and my family through the potential of loss and sadness?? Anybody been through anything similar? Thanks in advance
