endo and IVF

[anetski]

Hey

I have stage 1 endo. Tried 1 and a half years for our first baby. We ended up doing IUI's and then IVF which worked.
We are now trying for our second and we have only tried for 3 cycles. My endo is active as I have spotting. I asked our IVF doc what would be different from our last time trying. He answered: luck!
We have signed up for IVF next cycle.

This is my question. Are we giving up to soon or can someone relate to the fact that I can't face trying for months on end with dissapointments.I feel a little like I am impatient as many people take many months to get pregnant but then again we did try a long time with our first so what should be different this time? Doesn't it make sense to go straight to IVF?

Thanks for your time

Thank you. Feels good when someone understands! My sisters and a close friend all got pregnant first go and they keep saying. You are stressing too much. Don't stress and it will happen. It gets me so upset as stress has nothing to do with it.

Thank you again. I wish you all the best!

If you feel good with IVF and it worked then I would stick with it.  Don't feel bad if you don't want to try for to long.  You can't give up to soon.  What length of time works for one person is not the same for others.  I know that I have one daughter and am trying for a second but am ready to give up.  I have not tried IVF and don't want to so we are ready to quit.  This is an exhausting thing trying to get pregnant and each person has to make their own decision about when is it enough.  It is so hard...I know somebody could answer it for me.  In the end you and your partner have to make a decision together.  This disease is so hard,especially with the infertility.  Good luck and I think it is a good decision to go straight to IVF!  Hope all goes well!
