Time to TTC again - ugh or yay?

Yep - it's time again. DH and I have decided that it is time to try to have another baby. I don't know how this is going to go. I also don't even know how we want to proceed with this. I've been trying to decide if we should try naturally or if we should just aim for IVF again.

While I love the financial savings of conceiving naturally - I also don't trust my body's hormones. Maybe it's just me - but I feel like an abnormal ratio of babies born with challenges. I'm not basing this on anything scientific - just from what I've seen in the infertile community. I compare that against the few number of IVF mommies ( of reasonable age ) , who seem to have a lot less going on in the challenges area. I don't know - maybe it's just my fear talking - convincing me that I'm somehow getting a better deal with IVF - especially since it worked for us.

Either way, DH and I have agreed to stop "making sure" that we don't get pregnant - while we figure out what to do. I know that's a non-commital way to make a decision LOL. So one thing that is helping is that since I lost that one ovary to the tumor , and my surgeon sliced my other one ( wedge resection), I've been having perfect 28/29 day cycles.  Of course I'm scared to get pregnant and then lose my other ovary to a tumor - but the oncologist says it's highly unlikely - but ugh!!! Either way - I don't know how we're going to do this - but I'm eager to get this party started hehe!
