[JustOneMore]

Hello Ladies!

I'd love to join you if you don't mind. I am embarking on my second IVF cycle after a failed cycle in March. We too are fortunate to have full insurance coverage but we are thinking about when to call it quits. I turn 41 in two weeks and DH just turned 52...at some point, we know we have to face that maybe this just isn't meant to be. I am praying that this is the magic cycle, if not, we might try one more time but that would be it for us either way. The funny thing is, we started trying last May and said we'd give it a year and see what happens...no heroics, just nature. Well, 2 m/c's later we felt like we had to pull out all the stops. The first m/c was the worst (and I would have been due this week). We had several weeks to really get excited and start planning. After the second m/c (which was really just a chemical) we decided to do IVF with PGD. We were terrified of another m/c or worse, a bad amnio result. Seems my AMA is making it hard for there to be a normal embryo. I switched REs after my first cycle and I am doing the EPP protocol in the hopes of having some healthy embies. I am already on Lupron and just took my last BCP but I don't start stimming until July 9th. It is nice to go through this with more experienced gals.

Good luck to everyone and baby dust to all!
