IVF?
Hi
I’m 39 and trying to conceive for over 2 years. I have a 7 years old. We did fertility tests and everything seems okay but struggling to conceive. We were advised to go through IVF but I’m not sure yet if we should go ahead as it is very expensive and I’m also concerned how can affect you physically and mentally. Any advice from people that went through it? Thanks

Its a big decision and expensive. But ours worked first time, both times and we now have 2 children.
It you really want another baby then go for it but set yourself some boundaries ie. How many collections and how many transfers will you do before you stop.
All in ours was £15k for a collection and fresh transfer and then £6k for the frozen transfer 2 years later.
Do your clinic research and stats on older mums - we did our IVF 35-39yrs old
If you are considering it, and you really want another child, I would say don’t wait. At 39 you’re already (and I don’t mean to be insensitive here, I did it at the same age) drinking in the last chance saloon. Even with IVF it took us nearly two years to have a successful pregnancy and I had my little boy at 41.
Go for it, I had unexplained secondary infertility and we done IVF in the end. It is pricey but it’s worth it, don’t wait is what advice I would give x
Are you in the uk? Access fertility works out cheaper have a look at that xx

Digital tests
I’m 4+4 today, and still getting 1-2 weeks from conception on clear blue. Really was hoping I’d get a 2-3 by now, I’ve had 3 early losses in the last two years, currently on progesterone, aspirin & clexane. Feeling so anxious. When did everyone else get 2-3 on a digital? X

Toddler and a new born
I'm on maternity leave.
Just had a new baby.
My daughter is 2.8 years old and I'm considering taking her out of nursery, but wonder if I can manage.
But surely I can, so many people look at 2 kids at one time.
Please share your experience looking after a new born and toddler.
Nursery fees are sooo much, so I'm thinking for financial reasons too take her out. But is it worth it?

This is negative, right?
So I just took this pregnancy test, and I’m looking for a second opinion.
This test looks negative to me.
