'Unexplained' infertility, looking to ttc number 2

Hi all
I have a gorgeous daughter who is currently 20 months old and was conceived via IVF after having been told we have 'unexplained' infertility
All tests were fine, I ovulated and partner was told semen was fine (although had 1% morphology, but his overall count was higher than average so countered the morphology to make it normal?)
IVF was successful first time for us, 17 eggs collected, 11 mature, 8 fertilized, 5 made it to day 3 and 4 made it to day 5. All to be frozen as I was an OHSS risk
We did a frozen transfer and was successful first time, very very grateful
Now have 3 embryos in the freezer

I'd like to try for number 2 but I'm terrified of it not going right this time and the cost for us now and going back into the stress of it all
I just wish I knew what the problem was as always dreaming it will happen naturally or there's something we could try that could maybe help us

Anyone similar experience or suggestions of things we could try maybe before going back to pay for FET?

Hi, I have a really similar story but we only had the one embryo which was successful and LO is 16 months. Therefore for us we’d need to do a full cycle (boo!). We are trying impryl. I actually had a chemical pregnancy after 3rd month TTC and this was suggested to me after my chemical so no need yet as I’m due to ovulate for first time this week but have seen it’s recommended in US for IVF so thought it’s worth doing before another IVF attempt anyway! Expensive though. Otherwise I’m re trying OPKs even though I ovulate day 14 every time 🫠

Oo i had a look at impryl, do you think it's any different than just taking a normal multi vitimin or just taking the dosage of vitimins it has on the box? It seems very pricey! But I'm willing to try anything

Sorry, didn’t get an email notification of a response! I reckon you could take them all separately. I am dubious about things like this though because it always says take for at least 3 months and that’s probably because couples naturally will have been trying a few months and then use that and are back to the one year statistic!
