I can pretty much guarantee that was never me!Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06085283320884411888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557679011566521438.post-65890568104156925112013-03-18T00:50:22.615-07:002013-03-18T00:50:22.615-07:00Wow!

I was the same way, and it does help to confirm that you were not just a hysterical worrier all that time, that you do have an intuitive grasp of your own situation.<br /><br />I hope you do find what the answer is for you. Use that keen intuition to guide you, I know you'll know what's best.<br /><br />On a side note, interesting that the median falls below the mean in that graph. I guess I knew that as hearsay, but was never so clear on how that really panned out.

My AMH was less than yours - 0.1something (at the age of 37) and I was able to produce 9 eggs with a less than maximum stimulation and am now 26 weeks pregnant with our miracle baby (after being told we had a 15% chance during IVF). Numbers are numbers, and I think many times they just lead to more worry, oftentimes unnecessary. Thinking of you as you decide what to do next!JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400852355259918507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557679011566521438.post-8200524993121571122013-03-16T17:49:25.557-07:002013-03-16T17:49:25.557-07:00I'm so sorry you got this news, though glad th...I'm so sorry you got this news, though glad that you got answers. I do think getting answers helps in the long run, but it sure doesn't change the mourning process- it's still a tough slog. I'm in exactly the same boat- I totally feel your pain.

It must add another layer, and I'm sure it's a lot to process.<br /><br />Keeping you in my thoughts. You've been through so much this past year, and I hope that there are good things to come (*hugs*)AnotherDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487881766884178761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557679011566521438.post-26300511115048700622013-03-15T10:17:19.918-07:002013-03-15T10:17:19.918-07:00I'm so sorry you got this news.

As you say, the discovery did save you money, heartache, etc., but it must really suck to learn at only 34 that you essentially have the eggs of a 45-year-old.<br /><br />I started TTC at age 37, only ever achieved one chemical pregnancy with my own eggs, and moved on to donor eggs at 40. My numbers were always good--my RE said I had the hormone levels and ovaries of a 30-year-old, even when I started my DE cycle--but I guess my quality was poor nonetheless because we had success (times two!) on our first DE IVF cycle.<br /><br />Thinking of you as you process this information and make the decisions you need to make.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872513410814268769noreply@blogger.com
