[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you share more about your IVF experience at SG?  How old were you? What were your stats? Results with each cycle? And do you recall which protocols they used for you? Also, does Cornell always do day 3 transfers for DOR? Do they ever PGS for DOR? Thanks for all the info![/quote]

OP here. I don't remember all of the details with my first round at Shady Grove. I was 38, and diagnosed unexplained (not DOR). Don't remember stats. First cycle did high doses of Gonal F and menopur. They retrieved 6 I think, but none fertilized and they didn't do ICSI (this wouldn't have happened at Cornell). I was crushed. Second round included lupron (Sorry I don't remember much else). Got 5 eggs, 3 5 day blasts (didn't PGS), one is DD, the other are the 2 FETs I did at 41 that didn't take, one was chemical.

Just being 42.5 is a totally different ballpark. My numbers are so different now and I am DOR. I agree with PP that doing IVF in your 40's is very slim returns. The SART numbers show that. But we had to try one last time, even though we're aware that it's a roughly 6% chance.

As for day 3 transfers, I don't know for sure, but I can tell you anecdotally that it seemed like 70% of the women who were with me on egg retrieval day were also there on embryo transfer day (day 3). I know that if you don't get a lot of eggs, Davis will strongly suggest no PGS.

I am done with IF treatments after this, and will forever regret not trying for #2 sooner. I was just so sure my frozen blasts would work. I am open to DE but hubby isn't (yet). [/quote]
