[quote=Anonymous]I would strongly encourage the original poster to research DHEA and coQ10 to improve her egg quality and numbers.  Clinics in NY and CA seem to have better outcomes with older women than the DC metro area centers.  (More experience? Older patient population?)

I gave up on SGFTC because they ignored the bad indicators in my bloodwork (TSH shot through the roof with last pregnancy thus killing the embies) and the next round they implanted while my TSH was still higher than what Thyroid.org recommends for a good chance of pregnancy and implantation.  I can't fault anyone person.  I dealt with a different person every step of the way at SGFTC and that didnt' help.  No one person was monitoring things and when I had concerns it was too late.  IVF is expensive and everything I learned about older women and different protocols that are having better success rates emotionally  I went from "I'm sad it didn't work" to "WTF - you ignorant money-grubbing-fools HOW could you not have KNOWN this!?!?"

DO NOT RELY on the doctors to get all your blood work and panels correct and in optimal shape pre-IVF.  DON'T!  Get your vitamins checked.  Get your test for thyroid antibodies (most doctors DO NOT test for that, only TSH.) Get ALL your relevant hormone levels checked and then do your OWN research online.  OBTW - if your DHEA is low, which is common for older women, your egg quality will be low too.  90 days of extra DHEA can help improve the eggs that are developing.  It takes a while for it to have an effect.  WARNING - DHEA has its dangerous aspects.  DISCUSS this with your primary physician and have him test your levels first.

After doing my research I'm looking at a firm in St. Louis and Dominion Fertility as their doctors seem open to trying these newer protocols for older patients.

Good luck.
