View Profile | E-Mail | Please lend me some advice. « on: 04/05/08, 12:02 » | Reply with quote I am 31 years old. I have a 10 and 12 year old. I had a tubal ligation years ago. I want to have another child and am attempting IVF. My FSH is 11.9 at 3 days. Estradiol 37 at 3 days. 4 antral follicles. One cancelled cycle. My RE says I have poor ovarian reserve. Am I wasting my money in even attempting another cycle? Is this uncommon? Are my chances of success very poor? We are common people who do not have alot of money. We are paying for everything out of pocket and actually took out a loan to pay for this. I just want someone to be realistic with me because I cannot afford to shell out thoufsands for something that probably isn't going to work. Please, please, please tell me what you think.

Good luck. Report to moderator   Logged Tanya1231 Sr. Member Offline Posts: 55 I'm a llama!

Good luck.
