I was at one stage forced to take a break from IVF by my doctor. It wasn't because of relationship problems, it was simply because my mental health was in an extremely fragile state. While working on myself, we also worked on communication... and I really don't think that our marriage would have survived much longer without that.

Without having that solid relationship, there's no way my DH could have supported me through our IVF journey. I really think it is important to reduce as much stress as you can, in all areas, in order to succeed or at least not go mad while going through IVF.

However loudly you feel your biological clock is ticking, you are still quite young. Taking some time out to fix things now may make the whole process much easier to bear. There's been a fair amount of discussion about this in the social group - you may want to check it out.
