[quote=Anonymous]One natural pregnancy at 38 (after trying for about 9 months) but resulted in miscarriage. Moved immediately to IVF and did 6 ‘banking’ almost back to back cycles at 39. This was not original plan as only wanted to do 1-3 cycles, but had difficulty producing viable embryos - only produced 0-3 3-day embryos per cycle (and none got to 5-day blast) (most success on survival was on a low dose cycle) and wanted to finish IVF retrieval cycles before turned 40. When had finally banked about 10 3-day embryos, did 3 FETs after turning age 40 with 2-3 embryos transferred at a time (considering they were only 3-day embryos). Got pregnant on 3rd cycle - first try with natural cycle FET vs medicated FET. Difficult pregnancy (placenta previa), but healthy baby born when 41, now toddler currently hitting all milestones. My thoughts - everyone is different, every body is different, every emotional journey is different, every financial situation is different, and unfortunately it will come down to you - you alone will know best whether to continue for yourself or seek alternatives. But Yet I also know I often came to this forum for hope to see where people succeeded in similar circumstances - where one cycle produces no embryos, or after a FET failed, I needed hope. For us, we had a turnaround in our 4th cycle after the doctor tweaked the protocol and for whatever reason my body responded better and more embryos survived (although we still did not risk going to 5-day blast). We had carefully talked through with the doctor their thoughts on continuing and they thought the data they had on our first three retrieval’s warranted at least one more try with some protocol changes, but also some realistic confrontation of the likelihood of ‘success’ percentages based on where we were and if next cycle ‘failed.’ Hopefully your doctor will be able to best weigh in with the expertise and data you need on you for you to make your next decision. All the best of luck. [/quote]
