I found your blog while looking for support groups. Looking for someone to understand. Someone who gets it, while all my friends (now 27 years old) are so busy with their children. Donor Eggs are an option....at least for me they are. I have a "beautiful" uterus, so carrying shouldnt be an issue. I have not attempted IVF yet as we are still saving. Im sorry for what you are going through.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00825279389713425867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881629173943208551.post-19702301567093333252010-04-27T08:41:24.429-05:002010-04-27T08:41:24.429-05:00You can definitely do DE with no AF.

I figured call it like it is. Right?! I'm sorry I know this sucks...

Even if that were the case, donor eggs should still be an option. Your cycle is probably just confused by all the stims from the last ivf and might take a while to get back on track. <br /><br />I love your craft blog.

I am sorry about that and I hope things come back fine with the results.<br /><br />BTW, I always hate when they insist on a pregnancy test even after I tell them there is NO WAY. The last time I said, "No, and if you want I can give you my 10 year history of infertility and miscarriages. Do you have the time?" No answer and they StiLL did the pregnancy test. UGH!!! Next time I will tell them I am not paying for it. I wonder if that will work.<br /><br />((HUGS))Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661220372372737455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881629173943208551.post-35045571350316497912010-04-25T20:02:52.490-05:002010-04-25T20:02:52.490-05:00Don't listen to your RE.

I've done 3 failed IVFs and my last 4 cycles have taken over 8 months... it takes a while to get your body back to normal... i know you've done quite a few and have had time in between, but your body will eventually go back to how it was.. its just going to take some time.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14220592100816306178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881629173943208551.post-80342443583479723872010-04-25T19:45:58.734-05:002010-04-25T19:45:58.734-05:00Ugh indeed.

Just the kinda crappy eggs camp (which apparently has no name since I keep asking). So maybe revisit with the OB?

...As if the annual visit doesn't suck enough...<br /><br />I have a good friend who just had a baby from donor eggs. She had failed on 3 IVF's and has POF as well. She wasn't able to cycle at all on her own, but had a perfect pregnancy.

When you've clearly got a number left. Also, even if you are in POF, that's no barrier to doing donor egg. So at least reassure yourself about that.
