[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I know you probably don't want to hear my story (or have probably moved on by now) but I'll  throw it out there for what it is worth.

We were told to go straight to DE (I was 40, no previous kids) but I insisted on trying OE. Went through four IVF cycles resulting in ~10 eggs leading to 3 or 4 blasts and morulas that we transferred as we got them. Needless to say all failed. $100,000 down the drain, we moved on to spend the last $15,000 we could squeeze on DE (at RBA) and got pregnant on the first try.

Looking back, and knowing what I know now, those cycles were obviously poor. I just did not know it. And I did not know how to put what the doctor was saying in perspective. Do I wish I had gone straight to DE and saved myself the equivalent of a college fund for my child? Yes. But at the same time, I do know this is probably something i needed to go through before being ok with DE. But all is okay now and my baby is 100% perfect.

So what I am trying to say is - as rough as it sounds - you might need to make this choice based on budget. If I read correctly and you only have budget left for one cycle, pick the one that gives you the best chances of bringing home a baby -  DE. I'm not saying you may never wonder "what if" but you will be very happy you  made that choice once your baby is in your arms.  .  [/quote]
