[quote=Anonymous]I am pretty new to all of this and would just like some initial reactions from those who've been there, done that.

I'm 42, never been pregnant. DH and I met later in life and for various reasons, having a family wasn't feasible until recently. I have very regular cycles but not great blood work. FSH is 12 and AMH is undetectable, less than 0.16. We haven't done any further testing yet.

We went to Shady Grove and the doc advised going straight to donor egg, do not pass go, do not collect $200. My insurance will pay for 3 cycles of IVF and he said we could always try, but chances are slim.

So here are my questions:

--How hard is ivf on your body? Do you think it's worth trying for such a small chance?
--Do they recommend donor egg just so their clinic can have better success rates, or is this really a minuscule chance?
--Anybody else had similar numbers at my age and been successful at having a baby using ivf?

Having a baby genetically mine doesn't matter so much to me, as long as the baby could at least have my husband's genes.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts, and for anyone who wants to tell me there are grandmas my age and I should forget it altogether, you can hold your thoughts, I have those same fears every day.[/quote]
