[quote=Anonymous]There are other tests they do, but sounds like those were normal, or you're waiting to hear.  If all else is normal, those are def good #s for 42.  The #s don't tell you as much about quality, though, which is just as important.  That's where age comes in as a predictor.  You'll likely respond well to the stim meds and get a good # of eggs if you do IVF, but it's also likely that few will be normal.  That means your chances for success are lower than a 30 yo (which I'm sure you knew already), but it doesn't mean it can't happen.  The overall success rate for 42y olds who try IVF (as opposed to all 42 yo) is about 20%, so unfortunately it's not a sure thing.  AMH of 1.81 at 42 is great, though.  I also got pregnant at 39 w/o trying, then at 41 I decided to go to an RE b/c I wanted a second and knew I was old.  I had a lower AMH and lower FSH than you (don't remember exact #s), but at 41 and 42, I did get a pretty good # of eggs on both high and low doses of stims. No luck after a bunch of cycles so I moved on to DE.   Also, for reference, donors are typically required have have AMH above 2 in addition to having the age cutoff of 30-32.  As far as IVF goes, it's a bit of a "best of the worst" scenario, so hopefully you can focus on the best part.  I do hope it works out for you.  Good luck![/quote]
