Hm, ...Popping in from the crème de la crème list. <br /><br />Hm, I've gotten funny looks last time I said to a group of women around 30 that they'd better make up their mind soon. <br /><br />I hope that woman you met was well informed. It's a big gamble, banking on FETs. So far ours have never survived thaw, but to be fair we've only ever had very few to freeze.Lut C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03893061829410958985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461970546742628979.post-68068569738618218762009-03-26T17:53:00.000-04:002009-03-26T17:53:00.000-04:00That is some forethought!ICLWThat is some forethought!<BR/><BR/>ICLWLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336643483655255680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461970546742628979.post-20888191863454939842009-03-26T16:30:00.000-04:002009-03-26T16:30:00.000-04:00It's scary.

And it's why we opted for the CVS when we did manage to get pregnant after IVF/FET.<BR/><BR/>If you and I ever would have been in the same waiting room at the same time, we definitely would have chatted. I'm totally the ONLY one starting conversations too! :)<BR/><BR/>(iclw)nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479202205264710056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461970546742628979.post-43040510832033553842009-03-26T02:09:00.000-04:002009-03-26T02:09:00.000-04:00LFCAing!All the very best for tomorrow!LFCAing!<BR/><BR/>All the very best for tomorrow!..alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07679149270839974470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461970546742628979.post-86446128411031603472009-03-25T15:21:00.000-04:002009-03-25T15:21:00.000-04:00Good luck tomorrow, Dora!Good luck tomorrow, Dora!Shinejilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353174053245279899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461970546742628979.post-9264612534339584592009-03-25T13:44:00.000-04:002009-03-25T13:44:00.000-04:00That woman you spoke with is a smart cookie!ICLWThat woman you spoke with is a smart cookie!<BR/><BR/>ICLWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461970546742628979.post-19645368108536348962009-03-25T13:18:00.000-04:002009-03-25T13:18:00.000-04:00Dora - you are a weathly of information and insigh...Dora - you are a weathly of information and insight.

I thought I would be okay because I was "only" 34 when I finally made it to the RE. Of course, there I found that I had higher than you'd want fsh, so my possibilities shrank even more.

I like you had known that the possibility of genetic problems increased at 35 and even more at 40 but thought I had at least until I was 40 with a pretty good chance of acheiving a successful pregnancy. I had very regular periods, all the signs of ovulation. I too was shocked to hear that there was so few chances of having normal eggs at my age of 38. That has made it easier for me to move on to donor eggs or embryos also. It's true though that so many women hear about increased chances of downs or other problems but not the decline of fertility.battynursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240029154165501340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461970546742628979.post-14164620327566614972009-03-24T20:17:00.000-04:002009-03-24T20:17:00.000-04:00Thank you for paosting the information I think so ...Thank you for paosting the information I think so many poeple need to be aware and not just assume they can have kids whenever they chose <BR/><BR/>Also VERY impressed by that woman ..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461970546742628979.post-43746312215532588232009-03-24T13:56:00.000-04:002009-03-24T13:56:00.000-04:00ICLW.

We were referred to donor eggs, but of course, we would have to go the States because you can't get donor eggs here unless someone volunteers to and I wasn't about to ask my niece. It was also agreed that if we couldn't have our own genetic child, we'd prefer to adopt. Of course, the theory was simpler than the reality..... I certainly wish I had the foresight frozen my eggs when I was younger - course, that was when I thought I'd be married and just have to have plain ole sex.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your transfer.Deathstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03925549983959400448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461970546742628979.post-54805038354509413952009-03-24T06:46:00.000-04:002009-03-24T06:46:00.000-04:00Dora I love how you want to connect in the waiting...Dora I love how you want to connect in the waiting room, LOVE.
