I’m really sorry to hear that. She will need time to process this and your support will help her tremendously along the way.
Also it’s worth having this conversation with your wife, as if you both want the family and the only obstacle might be the eggs quality ( or any other thing - please forgive me I’m guessing here) perhaps your offer to take a chance will help her with shifting the responsibility of bringing your child to this world by herself and get you the results faster.
So it’s worth having the discussion at some point (now it might be too soon) on where do you say stop on her trying to conceive, and whether you would be willing to consider other options like an adoption or be happy without children in your lives. It’s about understanding each other goals and needs as a couple and supporting each other in achieving those.
Thanks for the advice it is really helpful. The miscarriage is recent so I will give it some time. Yes it was the quality of the eggs that was the issue. We had only 1 egg from retrieval.
Lesbian couple here! We are about to embark on reciprocal ivf, her egg in my uterus, which could be something to consider. Feel free to DM
When my partner and I were first discussing children, my therapist recommended we read The Baby Decision by Merle Bombardieri. We both found it really helpful.
When she’s ready, go with her to talk to your RE about how to improve chances of success in the cycle (or to get a reality check, if her labs indicate low chance of success). For example on changes - nutrition / supplements, medications and dosing, fresh vs frozen transfer, genetic testing, changing sperm donor.
