Sorry to hear that, but what do you mean by too old? Using your own eggs or donor eggs? After certain age, it is unethical for doctors to recommend using your own eggs. [/quote]

I don't think it's as black and white as this...a lot depends on your hormone levels.  A woman in her 30s may have DOR and be per-menopausal...and some women have numbers and counts that look like a 30 year old's into their 40s.  These are extreme examples and not the norm, but that's why you want a doctor to look at your case specifically and make a judgment.  I understand that having strict cut offs can help boost success rates, but I want a doctor who can be honest with me about my odds with a variety of procedures.  I would much rather an RE tell me that OE has a 3% chance of success compared to 30% with DE but let me decide how I want to proceed.  I would also much rather my RE base those stats on what s/he's learned about me than the population at large.  Age is only one indicator of fertility and egg quality.  An important one, to be sure, but not the only one.[/quote]
