39 & freaking out~
October 09, 2008
I just got my test results back & nurse said the levels were all great & very suprising for someone at my age (she did not disclose the levels). They said my ovaries are nice, round & full. We are doing one round of Clomid, an Ovidrel trigger & IUI. I am soo happy to get these results, but now the reality has set in about my age & possible quality of eggs. I read a post of a 44 yr old & that she would be better off with egg donation.
Should I ask my Dr about egg donation? I had a baby 3 yrs ago & had genetic screenings. All was fine, no fragile x, nothing at all showed up.
Should I be worried? Are there any ways to test the egg quality?
Thanks!

You have a beautiful family. Wha a cutie your 3 yr old is!!! I know how exactly how you feel. I'm 40 ( w/4 yr old) and all test came out great for my age. My only two problems...I wasn't ovulating and only one tube open. I'm on my second IUI along with metformin, follistim and ovidrel. I'm 4 dpiui. With follistim I'm only producing one egg in each ovary. So this is starting to make me nervous about the quality of my eggs. If this doesn't work, I'll be moved up to a stronger drug instead of follistim. So I'm hoping this round works. This website has been a life saver because I realize there is people out there in the same situation as I am.
I'm wishhing you loads of

Hi there! I know how you feel worrying about egg quality. I'm 38 1/2 and my clock is ticking! I've read that egg quality really starts to decline over 40 but so many women get pregnant with healthy babies in their early 40's, I'm not going to totally panic yet. I too have a 3 yr old son and so want a sibling for him. I had my 3rd IUI this past Fri. and am hoping and praying it worked. I'm not giving up and will just keep on trucking along. Hang in there ladies hopefully we will get our BFP's soon!
Oh also, what a nice looking bunch you all are!
