Any over 35ers trying IVF for the first time?

[TLK]

I'm 38 years old and have been ttc #2 for over a year. I conceived DS naturally but am having much more difficulty this time around (including 2 mc), likely because I was 36...I have tried clomid but no success which I'm not surprised over because I was ovulating fairly regularly (CD18 of a 33 day cycle). Anyway, iui seems like it won't be that helfpul so DH and I have decided to go the IVF route. I supposed we could have "wait and seen" and just kept trying but I know that IVF success rates also drop significantly towards 40 years so I'm thinking I need to give it my all and try. I'm sooooo nervous. This is a huge expense on us (as it is likely for many families) and the chance that it won't work is also rather high. But I'm hopeful. Is there anybody else who is in a similar situation who would like to be my buddy? It's not the same talking to my DH about it - he is so much more "what happens will happen" and I'm like "that's crap - let's get the ball rolling!".

Love to hear from you girls!

Take care,
T

hi TLK! I'm on the IVF train as well, mid-cycle #2. There is a whole 'Assisted Conception' forum on here if you'd like to pop over there. Just us ladies having some IUI and IVF done!
