[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I'm 38, not 40, but my ovaries appear to be 40+.

Anyhow, I was organizing my file cabinet today and found my notes from one of my consultations with an RE who is an expert in DOR.  My notes say that he predicts a 30-40% chance that I will be pregnant in 3 years naturally (I went for a consult a year ago).  I had forgotten about that and thought it was interesting.  I remember him saying that he thinks I'm sub-fertile and not infertile (actually the other REs I've consulted with also said that). So maybe my situation isn't as hopeless as I thought in terms of getting pregnant naturally?[/quote]

No one can answer this question for you, pp. Not anyone on this forum. Not an RE. Fertility is really tricky. Unexpected things can happen. Expected things can happen.

Perhaps you are asking the wrong question though. Rather than asking a question no one can answer - e.g., will I get pregnant - perhaps you should be asking yourself what you can live with. Let's assume you continue to resist IVF and just don't want to go that route. That's ok. Nothing wrong with that. Instead, you continue to try and get pregnant naturally. If it never works, would you be ok with that?[/quote]
