That was a pretty bad experience indeed. I'd not waste any time and go see someone else. Well, of course we all know it gets much harder after 40. But, it's not impossible. In fact, there isn't really a difference between 39 and 40. Plus, it really depends on the individual woman. Some are still fertile at 40, some are DOR at 37. The really significant drop in fertility happens at 42. That's where a lot of clinics have their cut off.
Besides, we already know you can get pregnant, but there may be some autoimmune or clotting issues, which could have developed after your pregnancy. I say go do the bw if you're not OPP while you wait for the new RE and then get a second opinion. In the meantime, keep trying, cause your time is precious indeed.

Good luck!

edited... meant to say 39 is like 40 not like 49 ;)

I agree with the other ladies, go see another RE ASAP.

Well, I'm not pregnant. So we begin the journey to the end. I go in CD12 for a follicle check and then the first of our last 3 IUIs.

Just found out my sister in law is pregnant with their 3rd. She's a year older than me at 41. Never miscarried or had any problems. I'm so happy for them, yet just so sad.

Shucks to both of you, essemkay and Rebecca. :( So sorry.

Essemkay, are you on any supps?? Since it's a quality game for you not a numbers game, I definitely throw in some CoQ10, potentially DHEA.

I also took resveratrol, pycnogenol and astaxanthin...

good luck!!!!!!

I'm taking chinese herbs per my acupuncturist.

Essemkay... I'd be extremely cautious about Chinese herbs... They are laced with pesticides!

Type in Google "pesticides in Chinese herbs", there is more info...
