[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things I wish I had done:

1.  Get more eggs out sooner.  I wish I had done two egg retrievals before starting to put embryos back in.  None from the first batch worked, and then my next egg retrieval was 1.5 years later.  So ask about that.

2.   Ask about lower doses for better egg quality.  I got lots of eggs, but most of the embryos were not normal.  I've since read that Cornell and some other places recommend lower doses of stims for AMA women--quality is more important than quantity.  I felt great about getting 25 eggs at my first retrieval...but I only ended up with one normal embryo!

3.  PGS/PGD test the embryos.  I didn't do this at first, and I wasted a lot of time.  And then I put the embryos at risk by unfreezing, testing, and refreezing later.  I wish I had done the testing right away.  It's worth the money, and when you're AMA, it's really important to identify the normal embryos.

GOOD LUCK!!![/quote]

By how much did they decrease your meds? And how many normals did you get as a result?
