[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd go straight to IVF if you really want kids.  Don't mess around, just do it.  Start looking into the process now, you can keep trying naturally in the mean time.

It's about $20k (at least) a round.  But it's your best shot for a kid.[/quote]I

This. We were glad we did.[/quote]

I did this too and IVF didn't help (2 rounds so far), not only BFNs but also nothing to freeze.  IVF is not a magic potion. And 2 months is really nothing. I would prepare for IVF but try really hard for another 3-4 months. Also, what are average numbers for 42 yo?  Is your AMH low and FSH high?   [/quote]

IVF is not a magic potion, but it gives you the best odds.  It's not a guarantee by any means.  At 42, you can waste a year trying and then do IVF and your odds of IVF working are MUCH lower than they are now.

If you want kids, time for the big guns.  IVF is the big guns.  If you are ok with the possibility ever increasing of never having children, keep trying on your own until you are ready.

It's a personal choice.[/quote]

It is indeed a personal choice, I should have mentioned that I am OK with doing DE eventually and have means for it. I also had a natural BFP in between IVFs but it didn't stick. So that's where I am coming from.[/quote]
