    some people have the marriage, the job, the home and can't get pregnant, while some have fertility but are single and can't afford it. really sad.

      I guess donating eggs to others who can afford it would be a nice thing to do then if they have good egg health but can't afford to do anything with it... it doesn't lower your natural reserves or affect your future fertility...

    This is great 💗 I’m currently doing IVF (I have low AMH) & I’m now 33 we tried for 18 months, got pregnant naturally and had a miscarriage. We kept trying naturally and then decided to go to a fertility Dr here in Australia. We then found out my husbands shape of sperm (morphology) is very low so IVF is needed. Round 1 was successful in terms of embryos made however none of them have worked so we are onto round 2. We do not regret our decision and are hopeful for the future. It can be a long journey but I have faith it will be a fruitful one. Some people really do need medical assistance 💕😘

    I had this test done at the age 30, mine was 19, doctor told me that I was born with little amount of eggs, then I did blood test again and it was 5, then doctor told me that I am perfectly normal. If you repeat this blood test again the numbers will be different. Stop doing all of this medical stuff and start going on dates and find the one!

      dezinechic This is the best episode. And I kinda agree with deb saying women with higher AMH should probably go and freeze because they will only have to do one round because they’re fertile as well as them making her worry was pointless.

    My results were not good, it caused me to freak out and then I found this series which I am grateful for.... trying to figure out what to do, especially after having seen this couple but I had endometriosis treated recently and the doctor implied the endometriosis is responsible for the poor results and I did not realize this appears to be permanent. Thought once I addressed the endo, my body would go back to "normal".

      La reserva ovárica no tiene nada que ver con la endometriosis. No sé si congelar los óvulos es bueno, no me fio de las hormonas que ponen para estimular los ovarios. Estoy convencida de que eso tiene consecuencias.

    I'm 39yrs turning 40 in another 7-8 months. I haven't even met the right one & don't know when I will. Not willing to settle for less just for the ticking clock. Really contemplating the risks of getting my eggs frozen now vs going natural. By God's grace, I have healthy menstrual cycle & lifestyle. On one side, I do desperately want to have a legacy for my genes, on the other hand I don't want to risk my health by freezing eggs, which at this age may or may not have success either. Should I just trust in God & be positive if God blesses me with babies naturally? If not, I'll adopt. My PCP will be referring me to the fertility clinic tomorrow. Any advice?

      Cesar 996 ... it’s not just about careers. You’ve got to get the right man and unfortunately. There isn’t a lot out there Who will be good fathers, able to provide for a family etc. Not every woman is happy just having a baby with any old random guy.
