[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should do IVF. 5% a month isn't cumulative. Each month its5%[/quote]

OP here.  My RE told me it is cumulative. He said I have a 20% chance of getting pregnant with one IVF, or a 30% chance of getting pregnant in 3 years TTC with no treatments.  [b]With those poor odds, I decided not to do IVF because I would only be willing to do it one time[/b].[/quote]

I can't imagine basing my decision entirely on those odds.  There are plenty of women who get pregnant at 40 through IVF.  Also one time?  What if you had frozen embryos?  I feel like you're the same poster who posted in the past about your AMH?  [/quote]

I was the poster with the .4 Amh - i happily did 2 ivfs and would have done more but i have a 10 week old! DOR is a different set of rules and needs to be approached aggressively - i would never tell anyone not to try ivf because your odds are low -  that's the whole reason to do ivf!

I agree. I also have DOR. AMH of less than .01 at age 37. Did one natural cycle IVF and have my miracle baby.  I'm 41.5 and I've had 1 period since he was born. [/quote]

OP here.  I am inspired by your story but how is it possible that one cycle of natural cycle IVF with just one egg allowed you to get pregnant with an AMH of .01?  How is it that that one egg that month turned out to be a good one with such low AMH?  We've been TTC two years now, and I feel like if I did natural cycle IVF it wouldn't get me anywhere since I've gone through 26 eggs already and all of them were bad.[/quote]

Duuddeee wtf. Becuase no one really knows why it works or doesn't work! There are like 1000 factors that go into getting and staying pregnant every month. I went 32 cycles temping and charting and only had one miscarriage to show for it! I started at 34. At 37 our first ivf worked with an Amh of .4 and a three day transfer of two "ok " embryos. I had 6 others all stop growing after day 3 -- why!?!-- who knows!

[b]Ivf takes out all the tubal and egg/sperm pitfalls. It increases your chances. Stop posting if you're going to ask silly questions in responses to someone sharing their miracle story! It's like the lotto - you can't win unless you play.[/b] OP is exasperating [/quote]

THIS.  Amen!   [/quote]
