I'm 26 years old. I have one 15 months old girl, which I had no problem conceiving, but was born via emergency c section. My AMH was higher than 10 ng/ml almost 3 years ago, and I previously got pregnant while on birth control.

The problem is that my husband was diagnosed with acute leukemia when our daughter was 3 weeks old. He had bone marrow transplant, total body irradiation, got very high dosages and intensive chemotherapy. We only have 10 vials that he froze right before his treatment started, not of the best quality since he was already in bad shape.

I just got out of a consultation with a gynecologist, who told me that the only way for us is IVF, with all the shots and hormones. I'm so bummed. I'm just 26, my reproductive health is fine. I want my baby to have siblings, I thought I'll have at least 3 kids. I don't know if I should proceed with the treatments, or to give up on it. I don't want anybody at work to know, I don't want to be judged for it. I'm afraid of the anticipation and being disappointed if the treatment won't work. I'm afraid of what it will do to my body. Anyone here who was in a similar situation and can give me some hope?

My baby was born via emergency c section at 37 weeks after an induction. I suffered from an undiagnosed pre eclampsia. She weighted just shy of 1.750 kg, and spent almost 2 weeks in the NICU, discharged once reached 2 kg. She was a happy baby from the start, hit all her milestones on time up until 1 year old.

She is 15 months old now. She doesn't walk without support, prefers crawling fast, has around 3-5 words, doesn't wave and doesn't point with her finger. She was assessed at 9 and 12 months for joint attention and following simple commands (like put toy in box or give), but deemed healthy and normal baby. I'm worried about her current delays. Is it typical for severe late-term IUGR kids to have some delays? Other than that, she is a typical baby, still good eye contact, and responds to her name.
