Is anyone trying IVF even though you know it probably won't work?

Have any of you been told you have a tiny chance of becoming prenant and you've gone ahead with IVF anyway? What happened? If it didn't work, do you regret trying? Our prospects are lousy... I am trying to keep a glimmer of hope alive.

Multiple failed attempts. Dismal prognosis. All as a single person TTC. I do not regret trying because at least I know I gave it all I had...and unlike married couples I did not have the luxury of BD'ing. Although who is to say I may not have troubles if I had been married and started younger? I also am thankful to have had family emotionally/$ support to persue ART. In the meantime...I remind myself Everest of all the MANY blessings I DO have and take comfort knowing that if my next/final attempt fails then I plan yo afoot...and I know I will love my baby with my entire heart..wether it is bio/adopted. Good luck to all!

"Yo afoot" is "to adopt!"
"Everest" is "everyday!"

Thanks, 20:05, and good luck to you, too. I guess what I keep chewing over is how little hope I actually have, and I wonder... if I can't conjure up any faith or vision of IVF working, then is it worth it to even try? Am I dooming myself because of this attitude? Has anyone out there ever gotten pregnant after and even though you'd completely lost hope? Do you keep trying in spite of what you are **feeling?**
