IVF Success for the Advanced Maternal Age-d?
Written by Arpee on September 25, 2008 – 12:52 am -Prior to this week, I have not been blogging here since nothing much is going on at the infertility front. No medical activity, that is… but I am continuing to read infertility blogs of my fellow ladies.
Specifically, I have been trolling the blogs of my peers - those of the Advanced Maternal Age category. Or as Mel calls us - “Over 35 and TTC”.
Here are the most significant takeaways I have from all that reading:
- Of the ladies who are of advanced maternal age as I am, I have not read of anyone who had a baby through IVF except Raggedy Ann (and if what I pieced together from her blogposts, she had her boy when she was less than 35 years old). It’s depressing not hearing about “success stories” from my peers.
- I read of some ladies in the comments sections who mentioned that they did get pregnant without medical intervention. How I wish I am one of these ladies. But as you can see, my cycle counter is now at 50 days and my period has not arrived yet. Classic anovulation there for me!
I just want a ray of hope…
