Sad. Discouraged. Doctor consult was not what I would have hoped for. Basically what I've joked about for years is true.... my eggs are old. His technical term was "poor ovarian reserve." Acording to him, my chances of achieving pregnancy is about 15% what it would be for the "average" 38 year old woman. And with this poor ovarian reserve, the eggs that are left are not as healthy, so even if one just so happened to get fertilized, the chances of miscarriage or birth defects is much greater. He wants me to think about how I want to proceed. Talked about donor eggs, etc.
Just feeling very sad right now. Won't be doing anything this cycle anyhow because I'm leaving for Ireland tonight. Feel like there's not that much to think about because I DO want to at least TRY for a few cycles and pray a miracle happens. Anyone want to give me a young, healthy egg???
