[quote=Anonymous]I did four cycles at 41+ at two different clinics, and they were variations on antagonist protocols. All started with BCP. The first three cycles were about 10-14 days on BCP, the final was only about six. I had 225 follistim/150 menopur the first three cycles, and stimmed for 10-12 days. I was up to 225/225 of follistim/menopur the fourth  round, and stimmed for just seven days. Ganirellix for three, and an HCG trigger on the final round.

I got 12+ eggs the first three cycles, 10 the final one. I had  19 eggs the second cycle.

Each one, in the end, resulted in about four embryos. I only PGS tested the final round (should have done that from the start, big regret) and in that round, I had one normal embryo. (From 10 eggs retrieved.)

No pregnancy, except for a miscarriage in the second cycle.

The PGS testing at age 42 shows that there are still good eggs in there....but I don't think it's worth doing a fifth cycle just to see. Even though I think my doctor thinks I should try, I can't take the disappointment anymore and want to move on with my life.

Debating next steps now...
