At 44 tired 2 fresh cycles with no success. Moved to donor egg.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what about the three genetically normal embryos leftover from your first cycle? Is there a benefit to fresh or donor over using those?

WE did 1 FET, thawed 2 embryos and neither made it through defrosting. We had 1 left and did a combination fresh + the 1 frozen left over. No luck.

This as 15 years ago, so the freezing technology was not as good as it is today.

This gives me HOPE!

Had one cycle at 41+. Had probably abnormally good results - 30 eggs, 11 embryos, five normal. Gave birth to a DD at 42 and a son from that batch at 45. Have to dispose of the rest but it’s such a pain.

I don't remember my numbers, but at 43 and a few years of failed trying, we went IVF. Got pregnant easily at 38 and had no complications. We prepaid for the "two retrieval pack." After the first retrieval, no normal embryos. Doctor suggested DE, but then we reminded him we'd prepaid for a second retrieval. So we tried again and got one PGS normal. He's now 3. We're fortunate I didn't appear to have any issues other than very few good eggs left.

Two rounds of IVF at 41 and a half. First round resulted in no blastocysts, but second round (same protocol), gave us three, of which two (PGS tested) were normal. Did two, separate FETs and have a healthy son and daughter. Good luck, Op!!!

At your age I doubt IUI would work. I’d go straight to IVF with your own egg first and then donor eggs.

My Amh was <.01 and it worked for me. Meant to be.
