Hi all, I am 45 and my DH is 45 too, we have been married for around 10 years and for some reason could not start a family which we are regretting now. We had been TTC for 2.5 years without success and then took medical help. It’s been 3 years on the journey and on my second IVF cycle for egg retrieval. 18 eggs were retrieved and my doctor told that out of 18 eggs, 10 survived after fertilization, 5 died, 3 went haywire and 2 are very poor quality which leaves me with another failed IVF cycle. The doctor also told me that I have poor egg quality (that too after the 2nd IVF) and that the eggs do not have right number of chromosomes and the level of FSH is also high (I really don’t know what they are) and chances for pregnancy is very low or maybe not. I was shocked, disappointed and caught a bit off guard because I felt like I had a good amount of progress on try 1. She says that surrogacy is an option for having a baby and I am too thinking of doing surrogacy but also don’t want to go for donor eggs. My specialist also wants me to go for one more round of IVF and if that doesn’t work then we’d have to talk about donor eggs. I really don’t know what to do or where to start, should we give up the whole idea of having a baby, please help I am very depressed. Does anyone have any success stories to share? Looking for hope, recommendations anything. Thank you!!
