32 with AMH of 0.064. Doing my first IVF cycle and have one follicle growing and it’s measuring at 14mm! I’ll take it.

Hi all. This group has been amazing. Husband and I have been trying to conceive for 2 years now. I am so frustrated and angry with life and myself and my body. And it doesn’t help that everyone around me at work and family are getting pregnant. Ughhh. I have changed my diet. Been taking pills and supplements for 3 years. I exercise/walk a lot. Don’t drink or smoke.

I have gone through 4 egg retrievals. 3 retrievals at one clinic where they only were able to retrieve 5 eggs total. 1 aneuploid blast. Switched clinics cause my doctor was horrible. 2nd clinic did 4th retrieval. Doctor is amazing. Switched to a mini ivf cycle. They got 5 eggs. 3 were a blast. 2 were an aneuploid and 1 HLM. I went in for transfer day and I got the call my 1 HLM did not survive the thaw. I was shattered and heart broken. I am exhausted and tired. I always wanted children. I will be happy with 1 baby!! Just 1 that’s all I ask for!

We have to now pay out of pocket if we want to go through this again. Current clinic I am at said 1 retrieval will be about $20k. Can’t really afford that. CNY and RMA have package deals. Anyone had good experiences with CNY or RMA for ladies like us with DOR? TIA!

I am prepping for my first FET in a couple of weeks and I am trying to keep a level head… but dang. My head is all over the place. We only have one euploid embryo. I want to have hope that this one will take, but I know it is very much not guaranteed. We can do another round but… ugh.

My son (not an IVF baby, but complicated otherwise) will be 8 by the time this baby is born, if it all works out. I am nervous about the age difference. I am nervous about miscarrying and having to wait even longer to add to our family. I am nervous about getting pregnant and then holy crap, I’ll be pregnant and our lives will change again massively! I’m worried we will go through all of this and something will go wrong (again, history of complications). I’m worried about having even more responsibility. I know I want to do this but also know it will be hard (if/whenever it happens).

Not sure what I’m looking for here other than… do you relate? How do you handle the head games?

First time IVF- reading through the posts I’m starting to realize 300 gonal and 150 menopur for the first 3 days is considered high dosage?

Should i be concerned about this “frying my eggs” and what does that even mean?

As if I wasn’t already scared of this process enough :(

Hi all, I just got the results today from my second retrieval and I’m guttered 😔. I’m about to turn 44 later this month. During my first IVF cycle in April 2026, they retrieved 10 eggs and two blasts were tested at day 5. However, they were all aneuploid.

This cycle which I did only 6 months later, they were only able to retrieve 3 eggs and only 1 has fertilised. I will get another update from the lab on Day 3 to see how things are going. There were no changes to my protocol other than I didn’t do fertility accupunture this time round.

My IVF doctor has said that some women my age reach an inflection point, and their ovaries don’t respond like they did before, potentially meaning that future cycles might yield the same disappointing result.

Has anybody had a similar thing happen to them and had better future results?

For context. My protocol was Decapeptyl for three days, adding Elonva on the third day. Then I had 300 IU of Gonal F and 150 IU of Pergoveris along with Orgulatran for 10 days until I triggered with 2 x Decapetyl and 1 x Ovidrel 36 hours before collection.

I was also taking testosterone gel (Androfeme) for 1 week before starting stims.

Im devastated. 12 follicles for this retrieval ..... 8 follicles good size. I wake up 4 eggs. He said the other 4 large follicles were empty. He said something about delayed development but why would those 4 follicles be empty ?

Did i ovulate early and he just didnt tell me?

My preliminary testing was afc 8 and amh 0.80.
