Over 40 TTC IVF - any success stories? tips re supplements?

Hi, this is my first ever post... I'm looking to hear any success stories from women over 40 with low AMH ttc? We've been trying naturally for 2 years, since I was 38 and, as it hasn't happened, we were offered IVF on the NHS, but they said I had 0.2% chance with IVF (AMH 0.7, FSH 13). So we decided to try CREATE because they specialise in low AMH. They offered us Natural Modified IVF; 3 low dose cycles designed for older women, the idea being they concentrate on getting one good egg. They said we have a 10% chance. We have both been taking Ubiquinol, PQQ, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Folic Acid, Maca, Glutathione, Proceive for me & Proxceed for him. Drinking green tea, vegetable smoothies, oily fish and nuts, no coffee or alcohol, cut out sugar and refined carbs.... you name it. Since adding all these supplements and making lifestyle changes my partner's sperm has improved from 10 million to 16 million with good motility, but still low morphology. My follicles have increased from 0 to 3 to 6 in the last 4 months (although I don't believe the first scan of 0 at the NHS counts, as he already decided by my age and AMH and, what's more, he didn't show me the screen; I don't think he even looked. The second 2 scans were done at CREATE and they showed me the follicles on the screen and measured them). We did our first round of Natural Modified IVF recently and we got one mature egg, which fertilised correctly but didn't make it passed day 1. We have 2 more cycles but I'm afraid we've left it too late.. Sad. If you have been in my situation and have since had success, I'd love to hear some positive stories and tips, or if you just want to share your experience positive or negative. Thank you and good best of luck Smile

Hiya, it may be better to ask these questions on the infertility board - they have a load of experience and expertise with all things IVF. Good luck
