[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would see what your egg quality looks like before I would get too discouraged.  Even then, egg quality doesn't necessarily determine whether you will have success or not ...it just gives you some sort of an idea.  IVF is probably your best bet, because it's generally the fastest and most effective intervention out there and any embryo's obtained can be DNA tested to avoid further miscarriages. DE's are obviously often times a safer bet, but again, I'd see how things look with your own levels before I'd decide on anything.

I was 39 with borderline to not-so-great numbers in trying for my second and was able to get pregnant via IVF with my one and only genetically viable embryo.  In the meantime, a friend of mine was naturally pregnant with her first at 40 on the first try and had a second as an oops! at 42. You just never know, but whatever you do I wouldn't wait around to make an appt. with the RE.

Hugs and good luck to you![/quote]

There are no tests for egg quality, just quantity. If you do IVF the lab can see what the eggs look like visually, but there's no way to know before doing IVF. [/quote]
