[quote=Anonymous]Well, it's entirely possible to be ovulating but be producing poor quality eggs, for one. Significant changes can definitely occur in a woman's fertility over the course of three years in her mid-late 30s (ask me how I know, sigh). In my case I got pregnant while on birth control (!) at 34, and then starting three years later tried unsuccessfully for another three years before finally turning to IVF. Our diagnosis was "unexplained infertility" as both DH and I tested fine and I was making plenty of eggs still. But we were successful with IVF! My doctor suggested one possibility was that egg shells can get harder to penetrate as a woman gets older, and we did do ICSI (they inject the sperm directly into the egg) so that might've been it.

FWIW we did do our treatments at Shady Grove and I was very happy with the care I received. I know that's not the case for everyone and I did find it true that they're sort of a 'factory' and my conversations with staff there were pragmatic as opposed to particularly nurturing, but that worked well for me/my personality. We're just starting another round there with them, in fact. Good luck!![/quote]
