[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 34 with AMH of 0.4 and FSH of 15, currently pregnant from IUI at SGF.  Will be my first child.  My AFC on day 3 my IUI cycles was 5-10.

Dr. Jeanne O'Brien was our RE at SGF.  I was expecting a donor egg speech, but she did not mention DE at all, and seemed fairly confident I'd be able to conceive with my own eggs.  I was skeptical, but she was right.  She even said even if we didn't freeze embryos, if we wanted a second child as long as we didn't wait too long to try after having our first, we'd be okay.[/quote]

Congrats! I guess it depends on the RE. How many IUIs did you do before success?[/quote]

Thank you!  We only had one unsuccessful IUI before the successful one.  The first cycle was with Clomid, which thinned my lining and only resulted in one mature follicle (the goal was two).  The second IUI (which was successful) was with Femara and Gonal-F (plus prometrium and estrace suppositories post IUI) and I think I had two mature follicles, might have been three (I am having a singleton).  Yeah I'd definitely recommend at least consulting with Dr. O'Brien.  She told us stories of women around 40 years old with extremely low AMH conceiving.  She will be able to put your stats into their database and give you success rates for IVF (I think for us it was around 30%).  If we had done IVF, my understanding from speaking with her is that she'd do low-stim, basically saying she would not expect me to have a good response to typical IVF stimulation, but she anticipated retrieving 4-5 eggs from a low stim cycle.  We started with IUIs due to insurance requirements.   [/quote]
