  You should join the September IVF group as most of us are doing the same stuff as you right now. I am just turned 44 (was 43 during my first retrieval) & about to go through my second retrieval in October after my first round resulted in 7 PGS tested abnormal embryos from 24 eggs. This time, we will focus on quality over quantity. Since I am in a down cycle before I start up my retrieval stims in early October, I relaxed last night with a beer. Very nice..hadn't had one in several months!! I understand the need to just chill!! Every step along this journey is hurry up and wait stress!! Good luck to you!

  Me: 45yo, DH: 47yo
  3 Daughters (singleton @27yo, ID  Di/Di Twins @34yo)
  Protein S Deficiency (Blood Clotting Disorder), MTHFR & VIT D issue 
  5 MC's:  Blighted Ovum-D&C @ 9wks;  Natural MC @ 7wks; Blighted Ovum-D&C @ 9wks; MC boy-D&C @ 9wks & Chem PG in 2019
  Tubes were tied after my Twins (and now I am old). Remarried and want to give my DH a baby!

  Thanks, @ladyp0tter! I will see you over on the September IVF Board, in that case. So glad you got to enjoy a beer! :-) The little things definitely help in this grueling process. Egg quality is also a big concern for me, just trying to take it all one step at a time. Fingers crossed for you as you gear up for another round. 

  Me- 40 DH- 37.
  TTC since late 2016
  Got fibroid diagnosis, docs told me to keep trying as they weren't in the cavity (terrible advice!)
  5/18: Abdominal Myomectomy, 14 fibroids removed, tough recovery 
  11/18: Started trying again 
  3/19: BFP, miscarried at 7 weeks 
  6/19: BFP, miscarried at 6 weeks 
  9/19: IVF, 11 eggs, 7 fertilized, and???

  Dealing with infertility is instrumental in seeking after a positive family-building venture later on.

  @rnjazz30 Hi. You and i are almost at the same point. I'm on my last days of stims (hopefully) and will be triggering tonight. I've been posting in the august IVF post because that's when I started the cycle, but that post has kind of died down. So I've been posting with the LOW AMH girls, so you may want to post there. I'm with you, I'm not sure how many cycles I'll have to do either. I have low AMH (.26) and I'm 43.
