[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, it's crazy to me how many PPs are intent on bringing down the OP.  Save your stories of miscarraige and how IVF didn't work for you. She wasn't asking for that. Really, you can't be happy for the woman who, by any standard for any age, had a tremendous retrieval and fertilization rate?!!  It's sad how unsupportive some of you are.

To the OP, best wishes!   I had fewer eggs retreived at 40 and only one made it to day 5 but I had a beautiful baby boy in November (at 41).  Best wishes to you.  You only need one good one, but chances are you'll have many good ones.  [/quote]

NP.  [b]OP asked for comments.  She didn't ask only for positive stories and comments.  Sometimes the negative comments can help set expectations[/b].

Fwiw, OP, I agree with the prior responses who said to do CGH/genetic testing.  With that many eggs, and presumably a good number of embryos, you could end up doing repeated FETs if you aren't putting back genetically normal embryos.  Good luck.   [/quote]

You honestly believe that anyone who has been through the hell of infertility needs to keep their positive thoughts in check?  The OP asked for comments, not for people to burst her bubble or tell her how they miscarried at 11 weeks or tell her that her eggs might be shitty quality and she's not all that and should stop bragging.

As a woman who went through the misery of infertility for five years and finally got pregnant and finally had a child, I needed all the support I could get.  I did NOT need people to tell me what could go wrong.  I already knew what could go wrong.  I get that infertility can make you bitter and sad, but would just hope that some PPs could try to keep that in check.  Really, one day it will be your turn and you will want and need people - even anonymous strangers on a forum like this - to keep their resentment in check.  [/quote]
