[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This week is the 4 year anniversary of TTC #2.  I can't believe it's been 4 years already with not a single pregnancy.

I got pregnant with my son on the first try at 35 and started TTC #2 when he was 15 months old.  I was diagnosed with low ovarian reserve/secondary infertility (my AMH was low).  I was told that my chances of getting pregnant with IVF were 20% at age 37.  We tried anyway and did 3 IUIs and 3 IVF cycles between 37-40.  All BFNs.

I think it's probably time to give up at this point since I am now starting peri-menopause as of the last few months.  I'm having a really hard time coming to terms with my long-term infertility and also the start of peri-menopause because it now feels like my fertility is officially over, and that's been hard to deal with.

We have decided against DE.  Possibly open to adoption but unsure about it.[/quote]

When you were doing IVF, what was chances did the RE give you?[/quote]

OP here.  When I was doing IVF the RE said 20% chance of pregnancy.  We did IVF between 37-40.  None worked.

Then at 40 they said chances of success with IVF less than 10% and less than 1% trying naturally.

My stats at age 42 are:

AMH .60
FSH 19
LH 7
Estradiol 64[/quote]

I dislike this focus on success rates.  There are women with a 1 percent chance of conceiving who manage to do so.  Focusing on these numbers isn’t necessarily a good idea because they really don’t know what will or will not work for you.

I personally would try more rounds of IVF with genetic testing if I wanted a second baby this badly.  I wouldn’t stop at 3 rounds.  Iui is s giant waste of time and wouldn’t even count that in the same category as IVF. 
Good luck [/quote]
