Aged 44

I thought I found a clinic saying I have 11% chance. Is this true,?

There are so many different factors they take into consideration when telling you what your chances are. Age is one, follicle count another, amh etc. You would need to contact them to find out xx

You have to remember it’s just a statistic - they have no way of knowing for certain how you’ll respond etc. I didn’t ask my chances on purpose. I’m 44 and 32 weeks pregnant with my own eggs after 4 rounds so it is possible but as Camillage has said it’s dependent on many factors x

What type of ivf did you have? Did they pin point a problem

[Libsie3103 in reply to Bluelady-sing]

I had long protocol after 2 rounds of mild IVF. And no, they didn’t find the problem, I’m unexplained x

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Libsie3103]

Unexplained is the most frustrating, I have pcos and a submucoid fibroid.Midcycle bleeding.

I am worried and reluctant to use a sperm donor, but I am releasing I might have to

Have you joined Donor Conception Network? They can send you lots of resources to help you come to terms with using a sperm donor. They also have lots of helpful webinars/ support groups. Best of luck with it.

No never heard of this

[Libsie3103 in reply to Bluelady-sing]

Hope you don't mind me asking but are you single or are there fertility issues that mean you need to use a sperm donor? I think either way at 44 the earlier you can start the better as unfortunately fertility does decline.

What does long protocol consist

[Libsie3103 in reply to Bluelady-sing]

The clinic basically give you medication to stop your cycle so they can take over and be in more control of what happens when.

Is this to get more eggs is the treatment hormonal
