IVF only 0.5% chance for me

hi,

Went to private clinic today for consultation. They looked at all my blood test results, ultrasound, OH's semen analysis. They asked lots of questions. Basically the advice now is go away have lots of sex; if you want IVF, the chances are 0.5% of a baby. This is much much lower odds than either of us expected. It's really hard to think about spending all that money just to end up with 99.5% chance of failure. This is getting me down.

The only good thing is that my bits look all right and are working (bearing in mind my ancient years!) OH's bits are ok and working, although a bit slow.

Having lots of sex sounds like really basic stuff and even fun, but unfortunately it has not worked in the last 2 years and psychologically it's getting to be harder and harder work. :cry:

    I too am shocked that if your tests have come back OK then your chance of IVF working is only 0.5% I would seriously recommend having a second opinion?!
