[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked with DF, never ONCE got the DE talk...it was always, "we have to find a good one in there somewhere" approach.

BUT...I stimmed like a champion...the day before my 42nd birthday we retrieved something like 16 eggs...had 11 fertilize nicely, had 7 five day embryos to freeze...6 looked good after thaw...and two are crazy 4 year olds running around my house right now.

I think that Dr. G and Dr. D know who to tell to move forward, and who to tell to look at different options.  I know that after me, Dr. D really changed his opinion about the ability of older women to work with their own eggs.  I know he talked to another patient who wasn't successful, and asked her to think about trying again.  And I know with NCIVF...they are trying with more and more women who are older.  Sometimes, all one really needs is a try.  You move forward after each try, in the way that you can 'think' to move forward.

I don't think there is a one size fits all approach to anything in medicine...especially in something so emotional as fertility treatment.[/quote]

Did you try for four years on your own before doing IVF? It's not all about age, but history of fertility is important.[/quote]
