Just wondered if there would be any interest in setting up a support thread for those of us thinking about a sibling round. This could very much be a 'me' issue but I feel a bit awkward sometimes posting in other threads, it's a bit like being stuck between being very lucky and fortunate having had a successful round, but also struggling with the challenges of having to go through it all over again. I've found it difficult to know my place in this community now.
So yeah, is anyone else trying or thinking about trying for their sibling round yet? Ill post a comment with our story.

Hi @itsmschanandlerbong !
I remember you from the August 21 cycle thread... It was also our second round, we also transferred a 4BB, and our baby boy was also born May 22 🥰
We would like to try for a sibling soon... We have 2 frozen embryos so it would be a FET rather than a full round. But my cycles haven't returned and I've been having trouble weaning from breastfeeding so for now we're just waiting.
I'm really sorry about the sperm test results and I can imagine the worry. I have my fingers crossed that it was a one-off and these results will be fine. Sending love.

Hi @decor340 welcome, congratulations on your son and good luck trying naturally! We have MFI so low motility and a translocation which we had to have PGD for to eliminate and embryos from having the translocation in an unbalanced form so trying naturally is a big gamble for us so we don’t! Luckily the 5 we have left are all balanced but not PGS tested so they could have a different chromosome imbalance that we haven’t tested for but I have been reading a lot on PGS so testing for everything and it’s got very mixed reviews by professionals and us also on the HFEA’s red list for no evidence to suggest it leads to more live births!
I’m rambling now…sorry 🫣 fingers crossed things work out for you naturally and you don’t have to dive back into IVF x
