[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand this anger -- I feel it. [b]But there's only so much that can be done to turn back the clock. [/b](I'm 40, by the way) I feel great, I look young on the outside, but my ovaries are the ovaries of a 40-year-old. I did IVF at 40 and got 11 eggs and thought that was great, but I read about women just a few years younger than me getting 20+ eggs and ending up with blasts frozen and I just wish I had started sooner. Oh well.[/quote] I kind of agree with that, but then, if it can't be done, why are they selling me painful treatments that cost tens of thousands of dollars? This is what annoys me. And the more I think about this, the more I think that IVF doesn't really increase my chances at all. I think the chances are pretty solid (and even this 5% conception statistic kind of supports that, if you calculate probabilities) that, at age 40, if you TTC every single cycle on your own, you will have a child within next 3 years.
