Any advice? Xx

Hi all, i know this isnt a fertility group but I was wondering if anyone might have any advice as I'm feeling a bit lost and depressed. I have stage 4 endo and low amh. I was advised to go straight to ivf as excision surgery to remove endometrioma will lower my amh further but I have now had two failed attempts. First was a double day 3 transfer after getting 3 eggs and the second was yesterday, I had just one egg retrieved and it didn't fertilise so no transfer at all. I'm not sure whether I should now just pursue surgery with the knowledge that it will lower my already low amh. If after surgery natural conception doesnt work i could always try mini ivf. Any advice much appreciated xxx

Hi,

Try not to get too disheartened.

I am also stage 4, age 35. My AMH was low both before and after surgery (it only reduced a little bit with surgery). I then tried a round of IVF, got 4 fertilized eggs and double transfer but they were of poor quality and failed. I was advised there is no point trying again. I am now on a waiting list for egg donor IVF. Even when you think you’re at the end of the road, there is always another path in a different direction you can take.

Thanks for your response. I am def considering donor egg but want to explore all other options first (surgery and perhaps low stim ivf). Are you doing donor eggs in the UK or abroad? I am undecided about whether or not I would want my child to be able to track the donor, it's such a personal decsion but it is something I am activley researching). Best of luck xxx

I live abroad and my husband is Danish so we are going to do the egg donor IVF in Denmark. It is about the same price as the UK but there is an option for the donor to be completely anonymous (which I don't believe there is in the UK).
