First IVF at 45 and egg transfer and natural cycle

[zansi]

Hi everyone, just needed to get some support  and share with others that are in similar situation. I am 45 years old and having my first IVF. I had two misscariages and tried several artificial inseminations but had no sucess. Everything is going well and I just had egg aspiration today and they got four eggs out. I am so anxious about what the lab will tell me tomorrow and if eggs will fertilised. I am also worried if my eggs will reach 5th day stage - my egg transfer is planned for next Tuesday. I had an interesting experience with 6 months of acupuncture - my FSH dropped from 11.3 to 7.5 and after doctor told me that my eggs are developing well but my uterus linning is to thin I had acupuncture session and a day later my linning went to 10,5. I am also on imunoglobulin injections as I have thiroid antibodies. My question relates to egg transfer. I am thinking of transfering only one egg and not more as I am very concerned about complications of having twins and triplets. Has anyone had sucess with just one egg transfer. Also, I am thinking of doing natural cycle IVF if I fail this time. Is anyone tried IVF with natural cycle and is over 40 years and had any sucess?

P.S. I hope you manage to get your DH to agree to give a chance to your own eggs.

Hang in there. My birthday was in December last year and I am trying with my own eggs and I must say my RE was very positive and did not discouraged me  of trying my own eggs for at least two or three cycle and then see what happens. I know few women over 45 that are pregnant or had baby and some even natural - so not all is lost. Try to build positive thinking and images and don't let statistics get you down - we might be that small percentage that will make it!

Thanks for the support ~ hoping all is well for you ~ keep it positive ~ I haven't been on for a couple of weeks as I said on my string for various reasons ~ got up the nerve to call the specialist I was referred to through here ~ the girls on this site are great for the most part ~ had a "stink egg" reference a few months back but considered the source ~ anger can be a horrible thing ~ let us know all the good news ~ I know it will happen for you!!..

Girls I am desparate....Another day of waiting. IVF said one embryo reached blastocyst but it is abnormal and not ok for transfer and other embryo is still developing very slowly and now on day five it is on 8 cells divison but it looks ok. They will keep it for another day at incubator and let me know tomorrow. Did any of you have this type of situation? It is driving me nuts...And what if tomorrow they tell me it is not ok for transfer?
