[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you could post your numbers (AMH, FSH, and more importantly antral follicle count) that will give a better picture as to what your odds of success look like other than "I got 2 eggs, how can I improve."  Your body fluctuates monthly, true, but e.g. if your AMH is .2 the likelihood of you getting 8-10 eggs at retrieval are very low and you need to manage your expectations.

There are 40+ yo who have gotten pregnant successfully, but they are certainly not the majority.  While others are telling you things you likely don't want to hear, it's because there's unfortunately a lot of truth to what they are saying.  That said, if your heart is set on doing everything you can so you will live with no regrets, then I understand that.  BUT - that's why it's important to hear your #s and protocol... bc based on those, a lot of us on this board can probably tell whether your RE is being honest with you, or just taking your money.  The unfortunate part of this infertility world is we become very well-versed in protocols, chances, #s, etc.

E.g. if you're DOR (AMH less than ~.1, FSH higher than 10) then your RE should be being aggressive with your protocol... ie doing an estrogen priming or microdose lupron flare protocol.  It sounds like you weren't on that. To an earlier person's post, if you were using BC beforehand but you're DOR, that's likely a bad call.  Your chances of success depend on your numbers but also the RE who's working with you.  You should be working with one who specializes in your diagnosis, not just any doctor.

If you're uncomfortable posting or answering any of the above I understand that, but then I do think there's a bit of denial at play and if that's the case, there's really nothing any of us can say that will help.  In any case, best of luck to you whatever you end up doing! [/quote]
