Briggsy, I don't think your age has much to do with it. Like MelP said earlier she is 39 and her DH is 42. My DH had his V done 13 years ago after having 4 children in a previous marriage - so that was difficult too.

We chose IVF because the doctor at the time told us it would be a better option, but now I'm not so sure about that. It depends on so many things really. Anyway, we went through the IVF and they do all the initial BT's and scans- so that takes one monthly cylce. Then depending on your age and if you have any other implications the fertility specialist chooses a plan for you.

We went the IVF Australia and their website explains everything really well. The plan that we did cost about $6000 but the first cycle we got 4000 back and the second we got 5000 back. Most things are covered under the medicare safety net. I think there is also higher success rates for women over 35 because they are more likely to use a much more aggressive plan (for want of a better term). With me, because I am 26 and have PCOS, they used a very softly, softly approach. Having said that I went in for BT's and scans at least 3 times a week (before work) and felt comfortable with how planned it was I definately knew what was going on all the time and the doctors, nurses and scientist were happy to explain things. The most exciting part was getting a phone call every day after fertilisation to tell us how our emby's were growing and then seeing our ice-baby on the screen before it was put into my uterus!

Some people may think it is not 'natural' but it's actually an amazing experience getting to see what most people take for granted. The only thing is, instead of thinking each month "have I conceived a baby?" it's more "can I keep this baby?" after they put a living embryo inside you.
