[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you, everyone.

I'm new to this, so I don't know if it makes a difference, but I was able to conceive three times on my own, and lost those pregnancies for varying reasons (one missed MC, one ectopic, one late-diagnosed chromosomal problem), but never had trouble carrying, either.

There is nothing medically wrong with me (that any doctor has found). My husband and I are both chromosomally normal. I just haven't been able to conceive since my last loss, which was a late-term D&E. So I'm wondering if this ups my chances of IVF working on the first try? I'm 39 1/2.

I'm praying that, for the price of this first round, we'll get a few viable embryos that would allow us to try for another child later. [/quote]

OP, I don't think anyone, including Dr F, can tell you whether you will get pregnant on the first try.  I am not trying to be a downer, but I will say that at 39 1/2, that isn't the most likely outcome.  Just be mentally prepared for that and hope for the best at the same time.  That's all anyone can do.  I think the thing to focus on is that you are going to a great doctor who will really listen to you and will help you make the best choices you can to try to get pregnant.  There are no guarantees, but all you can do in the awful IF game is take one day, one decision, one procedure at a time.  You are doing everything that you have control over.  Good luck OP.[/quote]
