HI Ruth08,

Firsty ahhhhh, I just spent ten minutes typing a reply & I lost it, so here goes again!!!

As we knew we wanted a close gap between children, I stopped breastfeeding when my daughter was 6.5 months (she is 14 months now) as I knew they wouldn't let you proceed whilst still feeding. We fall into 'unexplained' category so talked about trying naturally for ahile but then decided to go fertility treatment.

We had appt with our FS when she was 7 months & they done fresh blood tests, sperm tests etc. We still had 2 embys in the freezer so proceeded to a FET which resulted in a BFN. We then attempted another FET when our daughter Abbey was about 10 months but as the emby didn't thaw that cycle was cancelled. I then went to start a fresh IVF cycle last month but they discovered a hormone producing cyst on my ovary so it was cancelled before it even started! We are now hoping that we'll be good to go a fresh cycle in the next couple of weeks.

My thinking is that you just don't know how long it will be before you get a BFP so we thought let's start trying as soon as possible. So really it's already been 7 months since we decided to start & we have only managed one cycle. So, this is exactly why we decided to start things sooner rather than later!!
