IVF #1

Mel0569Mel0569
in TTC after 35

Okay, We are moving forward with IVF#1 - we only have 3 to retrieve which will be on Sat 3/28 and if they fert, then we will have transfer on Monday.

My RE is considering this a test IVF to see if we can get any to fert.  If not, then I guess we move on to a donnor egg.

 Atleast I will know one way or the other on my eggs....seem even on a high drug protcol, I dont produce alot....low reserve due to age. 

Keeping my fingers cross for my 3 little ones!

Mel

    good luck!  I hope this works for you.

    In case you are interested, there is a free phone seminar tomorrow night (Thurs, March 26 at 9pm Eastern) regarding low ovarian reserve.  See link below to register.

    Also, if this doesn't work, I know there are a few clinics that propose a low dose stim protocol for your situation.  I have a friend who is trying it in a few months and hoping it works for her.  At the most basic, non-technical level, my understanding is that a high dose stim protocol can "fry" your eggs.  When you have very few eggs left, you obviously want to maximize their chances, so a low dose stim protocol sometimes works better.  You do a low dose of follistim, gonal-f, etc. over a longer period of time - gently encouraging your eggs to grow slowly instead of bombarding them with mega doses of stim meds.
