[quote=Anonymous]I'm 40.  Have one child, conceived easily a couple years ago.  We've been trying for about 7 months for #2 with no luck.  I went to see an RE today and he went through the various tests that he wants me to undergo and said we can talk options once he gets the results.  As I'm thinking about the tests now, I'm wondering if given my age there is a point in doing them if we don't want to do DE and likely wouldn't do IVF (because of money, mostly)?  I don't know enough about the solutions for someone my age to be able to judge this, but originally I thought it'd be a good idea to go get checked out.  Most of the testing is easy, but one sounds very unpleasant, and I worry about the psychological downer of it all.  I mean, if there aren't many options at my age, maybe my husband and I would rather be blissfully ignorant?  Are there things they could find that are easily fixed, and that will improve our odds (understanding we still have AMA to deal with)?

Hope this makes sense.  Thanks.[/quote]
