Hi all, I’m in such a dilemma about future treatment. I have a beautiful DD who is the result of our first transfer in our first round of IVF. We have 3 frosties from that round. We are ready to try for another baby, with a heavy heart that it may never work.
I have very low AMH for my age. It was measured at 4.2 and 6.9 p/mol in the same month in 2021. I was 30 then, now almost 33. I also have blocked tubes and endometriosis. I had lots of endometriosis treated in 2021 and am awaiting another operation for what was left behind. I had a scan for my endometriosis a few months ago which showed 7 follicles on each ovary, so now seems like a good time to do a full cycle if I’m going to do one at all.
My dilemma is whether to use our frosties or go through another full cycle to bank more embryos first. If I just wanted one more child I would use the frosties. Ideally, I’d like 3-4 children and so it feels risky to pin all our hopes on the 3 frosties we have. I’m conscious that even if the first FET worked, after pregnancy and waiting about a year before more treatment, I’d be about 2 years older with more of a decline in my fertility before trying for a 3rd child.
I feel guilt at leaving the 3 frosties and doing another full cycle that may end in a fresh transfer if it went well. I feel guilt hoping for a larger family when my DD is such a miracle. It’s such a difficult situation.
Has anyone been in this position, or able to offer any advice? Thank you.
