[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got pregnant with my first via a 4th IUI and then 2 1/2 years later miscarried after a second IUI.  We ended up moving afte that and my new re was actually the first to test my egg quality, which turned out to be similar to yours with an FSH OF 13 and an AMH of .75 at age 39.  Having no IVF  insurance coverage I had one and one chance and one chance only for IVF.  My re had me take coq10 and DHEA as well and I was able to eek out 6eggs, 3 of which were viable ...but of those 3 they all fertilized, all made it to 5days, 2made it to freezing and one was genetically perfect.  At the time, I was told that if any of my embryo's made it to freezing and came back genetically viable that I had an 85% chance of getting pregnant.  I honestly couldn't tell you if that statistic was a generalization or specific to me, I didn't question it, but either way I ended up with a healthy baby boy.

I remember reading a post after the fact on DCUrbanmom about a woman who got 6 or 7 eggs with her retrieval and how apologetic and ominous the responses were ...and I thought how glad I hadn't seen it before my transfer or I would have really depressed and discouraged ...I guess sometimes ignorance is bliss, right?

I couldn't tell you one way or another if the coq10 or the dhea made a difference or not but I certainly had a positive result.

I understand why you would want to prepare yourself for the worst, but at the same time, with your already frozen one and numbers that are honestly not the worst, you've definitely got reason to hope.

Hugs and good luck![/quote]

Op here - thanks so much for sharing your story. Interestingly enough I took ubiquinol on the second ivf cycle that worked so plan to start taking that again. I need to read up on Dhea. You mentioned three embryos made it to day 5 but only two were frozen? Did you transfer 1
 During that cycle prior to testing the other 2?[/quote]
