Oh, I see, honey. You're on the right way, since time never plays on our side with fertility..I myself am not a spring chicken, you know.. And faced the same path - Dr diagnosed me on luteal phase deffect..( I know this is not the huge issue though, I just need adding some of the progesterone..But if only things were this easy). Later Dr's verdict was 10% of conceiving with own eggs. THIS made us think twice. Sincerely, I wasn't there. I knew we'd need donor egg, but I truly wasn't there for long. I wanted genetically related to me kid. But that time it was impossible. So we opted for donor egg IVF abroad and conceived twins Our kind donor did a lot for us, didn't she. Well, anyway, I believe IUI is not the best approach for ladies in their 40+. Probably to save money and more physical health, it's better to turn directly to IVF. Could you update, please? X

I'm sorry to hear this. Dealing with infertility is sometimes physically and emotionally exhausting. To cope with the ups and downs I truned to these strategies:

I got prepared. The uncertainty was the most stressful. I asked my doctor to explain the steps for my therapy to help us prepare. Understanding the process helps to reduce anxiety.

I seeked support. Though it's a deeply personal issue, I tended to reach out to my partner, close family members or friends, or a professional for support. Online support groups allowed me to maintain your anonymity while discussing issues related to infertility. I also exercised more and ate a healthy diet. We both considered other options. We determined alternatives in case if no luck - Mitochondria donation, donor egg, surrogacy.. But not having no children!! I believe this helped me to reduce anxiety during treatments and disappointment when conception didn't occur right immediately..

We finally found the solution with donor egg IVF abroad.

Stay strong, dear, you'll need to put all your strength to succeed. May god bless you. xx
