This time round - I was very relieved I could have another shot at having a baby. with increased odds to a la natural .

It was a blessing and answer to prayer and I couldn't start quick enough.I kept thinking they would reject me for some reason or I'd be too old - even though our DD was conceived naturally after 12 yrs ttc - there was no way we had another 12yrs plus I had 'operating system problems' (see joke in just kidding) with my tubes I discovered but not my uterus as they also thought from u/s.

13 yrs ago it was too scary and though we had no idea what our infertility problems were - we went for one appointment only and shortly after decided on adoption path. I am not even sure we talked about costs back then but it was more than adoption I think.

At the time you couldn't be going through adoption process until after a year after IVF finished so we never started.We had other issues as well why we didn't go IVF but that's a long story.
