HI Krikkit
I have just gotten off the IVF train for our attempt at #2.

I wanted another baby the day my DD was born last April. I followed a routine with her very early on and she slept through from 13 weeks, so I was blessed from the beginning (I like to think it was reward for the struggle to get pregnant!). I went back to my FS at 5 months, stopped my meds which helped keep my breast milk up at 6 months, then a month later got my period (DD weaned at about 7 months which upset me but was the choice we had to make so we could start trying for #2 which given I was almost 35 I didn't want to wait for too long) and started with my 1st FET at 8 months.

Suffice to say this time it was much, much harder than I remembered fertility treatments being, and of course far more expensive than last time! I respond well to the drugs (we followed the same protocol as it worked last time and produce excellent embryos so we didn't know why we weren't getting pregnant, and probably never will know, except that the last one stuck. I didn't bother trying naturally as it never happended before, and I just wanted to get on with it.

I think only you know when you are ready, for me, we wanted two children and I never wanted to regret not having tried but I think it all depends on your fertility issues/age and how YOU feel. Good Luck
