How to heal

Hello everyone, I was looking for a thread to join which I thought might have helped...but I could not find the right one. So here I am starting one instead.

A little back ground, my husband and I have been TTC for 4 years now. We joined the fertility program in 2007 and completed three IVF cycles (one fresh, two frozen). On the last cycle I was able to get pg; however, there was no heartbeat at 7 weeks. I have been struggling with this loss since - that was in April. I just went for a follow up with our Dr and she told me our "problem" is egg quality. I have plenty of eggs (20 retreived on first cycle) but when they fertilized (with ICSI) the embyos were not good quality, which means poor egg quality. The Dr said there is nothing they can do medically to help with that situation....she said the decision now is how much do we want a baby? Will we regretit is we do not try again before my eggs are totally unusable or do we live our lives for each other without children (or possibly get pg naturally)? so here I am trying to decide if we should spend the money and go through the emotional stress to try again with possibly the same outcome. I have been having a very hard time dealing with my two best friends whom have both just had babies in the past two months....advice?
