[quote=Anonymous]I was shocked to go back to my RE and hear the donor egg/adoption speech when I was 37. It took me 2 years to get pregnant with my first at 34, but I eventually got pregnant naturally (after 3 failed IUIs and awaiting IVF) after 26+ BFNs.

So I was not at all expecting the donor egg speech at 37 even though I'd been trying naturally for a year. He'd never mentioned that I was DOR before, and I'd never asked. 
After that, I went back and looked at my #s. My AMH was .3 when it was tested before my IUIs, and I was 34. When it was retested at 37, it was <.01 (undetectable).

I did get pregnant naturally with your same AMH, but the second time, I asked if they would just try NC IVF since I had gotten pregnant naturally. He agreed, and we did one round which worked.

In my case, I think that the problem was probably that the sperm couldn't penetrate the egg shell which was why I never had BFPs. So, with the NC IVF (DOR is usually poor responder for medicated IVF) I did ICSI and assisted hatching which I think made all the difference. The theory with NC IVF is that you naturally ovulate your best eggs first. With medicated, they just push a bunch of eggs through, and a lot of them end up being genetically abnormal.

I would go to a place like Dominion (not Shady Grove) and tell them your situation. I would not move on to DE until I gave NC IVF (which is super easy, like an IUI) at least 2 shots. Good luck to you! [/quote]
