[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone with secondary infertility now, Second time is easier if you know what protocols will work and you have success quickly. If it isn’t working and you really want that baby (not, we’ll see and if it works it works), it’s just as hard as the first time.

OP, what’s your diagnosis and how many rounds did the first pregnancy take? How old are you now? A lot can change in 6 years...[/quote]

This. We went for the third and initially it was IVF bonus baby!  No stress!  If it works it works.

Once we got into it though, I really wanted that baby and it became very stressful. It’s not east to stay easy breezy when injecting yourself daily.

It didn’t work and we got over it eventually but... I wouldn’t do it again looking back. [/quote]

Original PP here. Hugs and yes, totally agree. We knew our odds with IVF were low and had the conversations about how many rounds to try and when to stop. Went in totally saying we would give it our best shot so we could know we tried our best. Nope. Once we started the process, we got really attached to the idea of that baby and it became VERY hard to let go of that dream. For us it was a second, so we were also giving up on the whole sibling thing and guilt with not being able to give that relationship to our child, which is a little more added complexity than giving up on the idea of another wanted baby. But regardless, I really would think hard on how you'd feel if it didn't work and what impact that would have on your currently family. It's very hard to stop treatment without having success.[/quote]
