    Thank you. It is definitely more tricky. I will update in a couple months after my second round.

    Doing yet another update because I know that I've searched similar post and they just died off. I did my second retrieval and this time had more mature eggs, more embryos, and two made it to day 5. Those two were sent for testing and both came back abnormal. To stress my previous point again-- do not wait until you're older to do this if it's your dream. It will still be expensive but the outcome will be less likely. Going to do yet another round in a couple months because having a girl that I get to raise is important to me. I'm considering donor eggs at this point and that is very expensive. Best of luck to anyone on this journey!

    So, yet another update. I've now done 3 rounds. In my second round I got 2 abnormal embryos. My third round resulted in zero blasts to test. This is not a journey to take lightly. I assumed by round 3 I'd have a few good embryos. IVF is not a guarantee to get a girl (or boy). It's not a guarantee to even get a baby. I had much better luck with getting pregnant not using it. And it's expensive! Definitely don't delay starting if you're getting close to 35+. I conceived my youngest son on one attempt. He was just 1.5 when I stated IVF. It's nuts! Doing one more round and then weighing my other options.

    Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I really really appreciate it, because I urge everyone to do IVF FIRST rather than putting it off or trying swaying just to see what happens. Your odds really don't improve with time, and it means so much more coming from someone who has been there.

    That having been said, I hope that the next update is your happy ending!

    Code, nuthinbutpink and atomic know infinitely more about all of this than me of course, at minimum because they have counseled so, so many of us, so listen to them before any of my little commentary here. But I will mention I was in the same boat - 3 failed cycles. 2 of which I didn’t have ANY embryos to test (and one cycle where I had only 2), despite egg retrieval counts in the high teens and low 20s. I got a second opinion, a major takeaway from this board, and ended up switching clinics. Under 2 cycles at the new clinic, I collected SEVEN pgs normal embies now waiting for me in the freezer. I just had the wrong clinic, wrong doctor, wrong protocol. Just make sure you don’t give up before consulting another doc and use this board as well! Ps I did my cycles at 42. But I am a specific case with PCOS. Still, I also wish I had started everything earlier.
