Hi All,
Trying to keep this succinct and would welcome thoughts on whether to just go for IVF now or chill out
- I'm 37, partner is 39;
- trying for 4 months, timed to ovulation:
- I've got loads of follicles, textbook uterus and hormone levels etc:
- he has 2% morphology albeit 5x reference range of sperm. Doctor has said IUI would be pointless and if we did do IVF, would have to be ICSI:
- I really don't want a summer baby which means being pregnant no later than early Sept;
- I'm also struggling to cope at work especially every time my period shows up and we are comfortable financially for me to never come back after mat leave. I detest my job and the toxic culture won't be changing;
- we would like two kids so can't hang around too long to get pregnant with the second;
- paying for IVF will not be an issue;
- we would also do genetic testing in IVF so that somewhat combats the risk of miscarriage if I were to get pregnant naturally this summer
Partner would prefer to try naturally for 3 more months and if no joy, straight to IVF in January. But he is cognisant of my feelings and is happy to do iVF now if it's what I want.
So, I guess it boils down to: chances of getting pregnant next three cycles
I'm just so desperate for a baby
