[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the OP, but similar stats.  41, DOR, recent AMH .251 and AFC was 8.  Just got news today that the IUI failed (first effort at all), which I expected but still... deflated.  Am I wasting my time?[/quote]

I'm sorry about your IUI, PP. The general rule of thumb is that DOR means fewer eggs, but not lower quality. But for me and others I know, quality was totally shot as well. DOR is really devastating when it's combined with egg quality issues. Unfortunately, you can't tell if you have quality issues unless you do an IVF cycle and try to grow them out in the lab. If I were you, I'd skip the IUIs (you may get insurance approval for this if you have MFI or other specific issues) and do an IVF cycle or two ASAP. If you can grow blasts, that's great. If you can test and get a normal or two, that's awesome. If you can't make blasts, then yeah, you may want to look into donor options or adoption sooner rather than later. I spent a LOT of time and mental energy on IVF cycles that had low odds of success. I definitely feel like I gave it my best effort, but I don't ultimately know whether it was worth the stress and heartache. [/quote]
