[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I had many years to think about it because after trying for many years, and many ARTs, for my first, I got pregnant naturally. 
I chose to skip traditional IVF and do NC IVF. The theory is that the "best" egg will come forward instead of just a bunch of eggs that may or may not be good. I didn't think of be a good responder, and I didn't want to pump myself full of drugs to get a bunch of crappy eggs. 
Anyway, it worked on the first try.

There is nothing to substantiate what you called "in theory" - you get the egg you get, if the majority of AMA eggs are abnormal, you have a higher chance of getting 1 normal out of X (multiple) than having 1 out of 1 to be normal. This is the reason most practices don't to NC IVF.[/quote]

Except that just because most of your eggs are abnormal toward the end of fertility, it doesn't mean that you ovulate them. So, by forcing your body to ovulate a bunch of eggs, you are getting a bunch of abnormal ones that wouldn't necessarily come out otherwise. [/quote]

But that would be a very important thing to mention then, no?  IF you're DOR, AND you do NOT ovulate on your own. Further, the second part of your argument still doesn't disprove what I said. You get the eggs you get. IF all you have left if abnormals (which is not true at least statistically even for AMA), then it doesn't matter if you ovulate them one at a time or several at a time. And it doesnt' matter if you have an induced ovulation or not.  You still have a better chance by getting several.  Now, if you are up for the financial and emotional toll is a different issue altogether.[/quote]
