Hi...I'm New Here
Hi...I am new at this website. I have been going to RSNY in Mineola. I am 44 and have gone through 2 IVF cycles. The first I got pg and lost it very soon after (the numbers were low to start) and the second cycle I did not even get pg. I lost my first pregnancy in 12/00 and went on to have a healthy baby in 2001. I have now had too many miscarriages to count ( I think it's 9??). My age, of course, is a big factor. I thought after the healthy pregnancy that the first time was just bad luck and I would go on to have another child. Now that is just a dream that I don't think will ever really come true. It has been a hellish 3-1/2 years of trying and losing pregnancies. I am trying one final time with IVF. At 44 I lose coverage for my meds. I think my best and probably only real chance would be to go with a donor egg, but it is soooo expensive and I have to pay for the IVF portion out of pocket already now. But even then if you lay out $25,000 and it doesn't work you have nothing. There's no guarantee. At my age there aren't even any statistics. I looked at the CDC reports and for donor eggs there was one place in NYC that had a 66% rate of live births with donor eggs. RSNY only had a success rate of 3/11, which is not that great. I don't know. It kills me that I may never have another child. I have cried for so long over this. I really don't know what to do. I have an appt. with Dr. Stelling at RSNY (who I do like) in a couple of weeks. My cycle will begin soon therafter. Well, I just wanted to introduce myself and tell my story. Good luck to all you ladies out there!
