[quote=Anonymous]Starting this off with acknowledging I’m so so lucky and have 2 children.  I started my dcum experience 6 years ago after infertility, a tough miscarriage, and a marriage crumbling from the stress of it.  I remember reading the post of women on this board with existing kids and being so annoyed when I was hurting so much - I’m now asking a Q bc I think the knowledge will be on this board but please don’t take it as ungrateful for what I have if you are currently hurting and hoping.

So the Q - 6 years ago had been trying to get pregnant for 4 years. Went to shady grove and they said MF issues on basically every metric and less than 1% chance of getting pregnant on our own.  Did iui and failed Ivf with no luck.  Before next round of ivf I had sex with dh one time and ended up pregnant. Lost that baby at 20 weeks for unknown reasons.  Stress of it all caused lots of problems in marriage which took 8mo to recover from and the second month we were having sex again ended up pregnant again and had a live birth.  Had basically no sex for next 15mo (babies are exhausting, dh is low drive so neither of us cared) and decided we wanted to have a second. Contacted sg to see where we stood and they did testing and dh had same  awful results and lot probability and they said go right to ivf.  While I was waiting to start birth control for that got pregnant again and had second baby.

Now we would like a third if possible. Called sg and they said given I’m now 40 and dhs awful stats to start with we should go straight to ivf.  Given our history though - would you try timed on your own awhile first? (This isnt easy, dh travels a lot for work)? Entirely ignore sg and find a new place?  Go straight to ivf bc why waste time? (But it didn’t work before)[/quote]
