What are my chances? please help

[byronsprincess]

I am a newbie to IVF, I have 3 children to another relationship, DH has 2 children, he had a vasectomy 5 years ago before we met, now we would dearly love a child together. I have fallen pregnant easily each time, now I am wandering what odds we are up against! We will be seeing a doctor at MIVF next week and hopefully get the ball rolling.
we are hoping to use ICSI, I am so new to all this, how long usually before I get started? Are my odds good? what are they going to do to me and DH? I am very anxious and would love to hear from anyone with any advice. I am 31 and DH 50. thanks!

I have done IVF but not needed it (prior to cancer treatment as a precaution only)

I think you sound like you've got good chances - you are still young and men can have babies up until they die! :) The vasectomy thing sounds like the only complication but it is reversable. THey could just reverse it (a bit more complicated than the actual original procedure)...if all that fails then IVF would be the next option

how exciting for you guys! :)
