[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a patient of Dr. Abbasi. I am 41 years old. I am curious to know what protocols worked for ladies over 40? I have no known condition except for my age. Thanks![/quote]

It really depends on how you respond to the meds. I have had 3 succesful IUIs out of 5 (alhough 2 ended in miscarriage) and then 1 successful IVF, but that ended in miscarriage also. I am an ok responder, considering my age - just not staying pregnant. We tested one miscarriage and it came back normal, meaning no genetic abnormalities. But, that doesn't mean the other miscarriages were normal, My only issue is age, too and I completely feel that my miscarriages are age related. But, I have hope that it will happen for me and feel fortunate that I can get pregnant in my 40's.

There is a lot of Abbasi bashing - but I think she knows what she is doing. She is very abrupt, can come off as very condescending, and I wish she discussed things with me more, but in the end none of that makes a difference, esp. for someone like me that doesn't have any bigger issues that require more sophisticated protocols. Plus, her Behtesda office is close to me and that makes a huge difference when you have to keep going in for monitoring. The odds are against us btu I am giving it one more shot! I wish you the best.[/quote]
