none of us are Losers !
( speaking of the L word has to drag my old carcass into bed at 10 :30 pm last night cause I was whipped ) .
here is what I learned about us old folk - the 38 + crowd at the infertility conference .
the medical DR's that spoke + gave lectures on ART, IUI, FSH all had alot of sobering statistics about the difficulties of conceiving and carring to term a healthy baby by any means . The odds / data got worse as you hit 40 . they explained the diference between chronological age + biological age of you ovaries + ovarian reserve using FSH as a marker . said it would be difficult to concieve but not impossible . Using doner eggs would give an older person a higher success rate .
there was this great 41 year old woman that raised her hand + told DR that she had high FSH and her RE told her it would never happen for her + she conceived on her own + gave birth to a healty girl .
The alternative medical community was also there .They seem to be more open minded + optimistic .
mostly accupuncturists specialing in infertility and homeopaths + holistic practitioners. They were not talking statistics + showing slides + graphs .
So . Yesterday I had my first treatment with a new infertility accupuncturist . Still trying to contact Dr Grifos group . My Current RE is willing to keep working with me + while I go thru accupuncture .
I will write more later . I am trying to be a BIG GIRL today and go to my best friends little sisters baby shower .May god and the board give me strength today . Later ladies and gents . happy Saturday
