[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you are DOR than you probably do not have to worry about being distended and bloated before retrieval because you have 25 follicles.

I was DOR, retrieved 5, 3 fertilized, one transferred, one frozen.  It is hopefully working, I am 10 weeks.  [/quote]

HI OP - I am also DOR. Please make sure your one shot is with an RE that specializes in DOR. Do not waste this attempt. I would look into Dr. Davis at Cornell, SIRM in NYC or CCRM in Colorado. I went with SIRM in NYC and even with a .4 AMH was able to get 8 embryos after fertilization. I am currently 18 weeks with a singleton after a 3 day transfer of 2. 
I never did IUI because one of my tubes is blocked and the RE's didn't see the worth in it. I did take tons of supplements and track my cycles and try everything naturally for 3 years with no luck - i consider one IVF round a year's worth of trying naturally. Even though we transferred two none of the others made it to blast on day 5. So essentially we found the good one out of the batch. In reality that could have been one month out of 8 trying on our own we actually had a shot.
Look into shared risk packages - the two cycle plan at SIRM was what we signed up for. good luck!

OP here.  Thanks for sharing your story.  But here's what I don't understand--you said you were trying naturally for 3 years, how is it that your first IVF worked when 3 years of trying and that's like 36 eggs that you went through, didn't?  You're saying that you found a good egg with IVF, but how come you (and I) can't seem to get that "good egg" with years of trying naturally?

I've been trying for a year and a half naturally and haven't found my "good egg" yet.  Why would I think that one IVF would produce the good egg?  This is what doesn't make sense to me about IVF when you've been trying for over a year or more and cannot get pregnant on your own.[/quote]
