Hi everyone,
A brief intro - I'm 37, dh is 34. We've been TTC #2 for a year. I've just completed tests with a repro endo and everything looks fine. (Ovarian reserve looks good, no blocked tubes, etc.) We are still waiting on DH's sperm analysis.
So the doctor suggested that we think about drugs (Femara) vs. IVF. Basically, how aggressive do we want to be?
Has anyone had to make this decision and if so, how did you decide?
Fertility treatments are thankfully covered by my insurance and we are willing to pay for IVF if that's our best bet.
Does it make sense to jump straight to IVF? Even for a silly reason, like if I have a January baby I'll get more time off for mat leave (I'm a teacher, so that way I'd get a semester off plus summer).
Would love any input!
