[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I appreciate the good dialouge.  I do have a question about ovarian reserve testing -- is everyone over 40 a candidate for this?  My RE has never suggested it.  I should say that I am not actively being treated right now.  I had a failed FET in January and spoke to my RE once after that, who recommended that I give it a shot on my own for a few months and then come back to see him if I wanted to.  We had said we didn't want to do IUI/IVF/Donor Eggs.  Note our last child was conceived naturally so aside from age, I'm not even sure IVF would be a necessary or good route to go.  We have been very lucky with the 2 kids we have and although we want another, paying for additional IUI/IVF seems excessive from a financial standpoint for us today.  But I would like to know more about my eggs (or lack thereof) so I can either keep using that Clear Blue Ferility Monitor or stop wasting the time/money peeing on all those sticks!  :-)  Also, I don't want to continue to hope for something that may never be.  I am not there yet, but I know at some point I may have to accept that this is it.  Regrets about starting younger, not waiting 2.5 years between last kid and now, etc will need to give way to acceptance.  Getting there will be hard.  (Inside, I am 25!)    [/quote]
