Thanks everyone. I'm still tossing up how long to wait. An operation would be a major upheaval for DD as she is still too young to understand mum not being there and she can be quite a stresser when her routine is out

Jellybean - it's true that I probably was more health conscious TTC DD because she was our first. I did take a herbal formula made up for me by a fertility naturopath and I can never be sure whether it was that, or the op, or a combination that helped with DD. I know for a fact the herbs regulated my cycle a lot. Thanks for the info, I will look into it.

I agree Lenny, that there probably isn't any rules but you do hear stories about the first pregnancy making other pregnancies easier so thought I'd ask. I've started charting again, and I think my first step will be back to the naturopath if I don't get a positive this month.

Sue and Saph, thanks for your replies. I have seen my OB and he recommends the op ASAP due to me "getting on a bit" () but a part of me is in denial that I need it - I prefer natural methods.

Thanks again, I think I have a course of action in my head now! Cheers!
