I did IVF for our second child, who is now 3. I have bad egg quality, so have had a lot of miscarriages and even with fertility treatments intended to improve egg quality was still having them. I wasn't nervous about the process since I'd already been giving myself injections for a year, but it does take some time to get the hang of giving yourself multiple injections. The worst part of the procedure, for me, was egg retrieval, but it's all worth it of course if it's successful. I hope it will be for you. We transferred two embryos but only one stuck, and I was in my 20s with no reason they shouldn't implant. So I'm always one for, if you're ok with the chance of twins, to go for transferring two. It costs WAY too much to not double your chances the first time around. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk more about it.

eta: I reread your post and see you're just now having testing. There are very few reasons that testing will immediately show you will need to try IVF, although you may eventually get there. Most likely you will do regular injections first, maybe IUI, maybe need some minor procedures first. I hope you'll get conclusive results quickly, I'm sure that's what's making you so nervous is not knowing what you're looking at for the future.

My favorite choices from your list are Lillian and Hannah, Lillian and Aaron, and Samuel and David.

Individually, though, my favorite names are Claire, Grace, Hope (all three are our girl's list should we ever be able to have another), Nathaniel, Owen, and Samuel.
