[quote=Anonymous]Just got my updated bloodwork back:  undetectable AMH (no change from 2 years ago, hah), FSH of 18, AFC of 2.  I conceived "naturally" 2 years ago with similar stats and have a healthy DD who's now 14 months.  By "naturally" I mean I was undergoing a mock cycle for a donor egg and got pregnant while taking Lupron (I wrote about that on this board back then).

DH and I would love to have a second kid.  We can try naturally again but odds seem so low.  We could try IVF but odds of success there are basically the same as trying naturally.  Or we could head down the DE path (while trying naturally in the meantime), which I was prepared to do 2 years ago when all we wanted was a healthy baby as fast as possible (we'd already suffered several losses and I was prepared to give up my genetic connection without even trying IVF).  DE sounds more daunting this time around because now we have our DD and I can sooner wrap my head around being one and done.  I'm also somewhat concerned about the OE/DE sibling relationship, but trust we can work through that.  I'm just sort of stuck.  Our daughter is perfect we consider ourselves so absolutely incredibly lucky to have her.  DH really wants more kids but will respect whichever option I'm most comfortable with.  I'd like to push off any decision for a couple of years (I'm in my mid 30s) by DH is older and would prefer not to wait more than a year or so before trying ART if that's what we're going to do. I guess I'd just like to hear how other people have wrapped their heads around some of these considerations.

Thanks.[/quote]
