[quote=Anonymous]8:28 here. My FSH was slightly high but not alarmingly so. Yes it was with my own eggs. That's why I am encouraging OP to do PGD if she wants to use her own eggs. With PGD she can ensure that only the best embryo's are implanted. And if she does a frozen transfer she can give her body time to rid itself of the chemicals from the IVF before transfer. And there is a very high success rate for healthy blastocysts. Mine was a six day embryo of good quality. But all that said, it won't be easy to get a healthy embie for women of advanced age. They have to do multiple cycles sometimes to find that healthy embryo.

It was tough on us financially also. We had no insurance coverage for IVF and yet we did IVF with ICSI and PGD. We withdrew from our retirement account to pay for the cycles. We barely have anything left in our retirement now but we still think it was worth it.

Like the OP, I, too, felt I could be the exception and could have a child. I took good care of my health. I changed my diet and lifestyle even more to prepare my body for IVF. I also added in all the alternative treatments such as acupuncture and following Randine Lewis' philosophy and treatment program.

So - it's going to be tough but it is possible.[/quote]
