IVF advice please

[Hopingtobeamum]

Hi,

My partner and I have been trying unsuccessfully to have our first child. I've seen a doctor (Q2 2016) who advised I have a low egg count, we have now decided to go down the IVF route.
I'm 39 and he is 40, he has two children from a previous relationship, I have none.
Finding a clinic is a minefield, can anyone recommend anywhere within 50 miles of the Teesside area based on experience please? Any other tips would also be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Charly

I would post this in infertility if I were you. Likely to get more specialist advice.

Can you try naturally? How long have you been trying for?

Low ovarian reserve makes ivf more tricky as you respond less well to the drugs. Doesn't mean it can't work though, but it's worth getting a clinic who can work with you and tailor things to your needs.

Hi,

Thanks for coming back to me, I'll take your advice.

I haven't used contraception for about 8 years so you could say I've been trying naturally for 8 years, the results of the tests I had last year were as follows:

progesterone level 1.53 ng/mL
amh level 1.29 which puts me into the low fertility bracket

Queen Elizabeth hospital Gateshead. .
My friend has 4 ivf happy results including twins. .
A friend of hers tried for 20 years and other clinics until finally got pregnant with help from QE. .

Thanks so much. I'll take a look at this now :)
