Hi ladies,
Just wanted to officially intro on this board, since I feel it is currently more relevant to me than 3T. I have asked a few questions on here leading up to this point, but feel like its definitely time to intro and get more support from ladies who understand the ins and outs of IVF. So, here's the gist: I am 37, my SO is 40, we live in Toronto, Canada and we have been ttc for approx 3 years. (I was also previously married in my early 30s and ttc for around 3 yrs and did 3 unsuccessful iui's...he now has 2 kids with his SO so safe to assume the problem lies with me). My current SO and I have also done 3 unsuccessful iui's, leading to this point. While my Re never said the words, I'd say its safe to assume I have DOR since he has informed me that I may only get 2-4 follicles for an IVF cycle, which scares the crap out of me. We are OOP for procedures, but meds are covered. I just can't let go of the idea of trying at least once, even with my poor odds for egg numbers. We are planning to cycle at the end of July and the protocol seems to be 150 puregon, 150 menopur, + orgulatran (not sure what this protocol would be called, since I haven't had my education session yet). I will be honest in saying my SO is not thrilled with the idea of doing the IVF because of the cost, combined with our chances, but is willing to do it for me. My Re has agreed we can cancel the cycle if we have less than 4 follicles, so I'm really crossing my fingers for 4+. I think that's it for now, thanks for reading
