[quote=Anonymous]OP, it's kind of hard to say without knowing why you had to do IVF (and particularly PGS given your ages) the first time around.

From my own experience, I can tell you that we went the FET route for #2 right away.  I mean, we were not using protection on the off-chance it might happen naturally, but we started the process rolling as soon as I was ready to consider having a second (we had moved, so this included transferring embryos between clinics and looking for a new clinic).  The frozen embryos (no PGS) were from when we were both 35, and I'm now 36w from a transfer that we did when we were both 37 (now I'm 38).

My reasoning was 1) I felt that my odds of getting pregnant were better using an embryo from a cycle that had successfully produced a child before...this was more feeling than anything else, and 2) embryos from when I was younger were likely to be higher quality no matter what.

As it turned out, it took two transfers to get this one to stick (first FET ended in chemical, possibly due to low progesterone dose)...but I'm pretty glad we went the route that we did.[/quote]
