I just found out that I have a poor ovarian reserve which explains the failed last IVF cycle :( this just adds to the heep of obstracles and another thing to worry about in the process .. not really happy right now.

Guess I need to hear some encourging stories of POR... anyone?

TIA

Thanks Tinker bell. We will get there! No other tips apart from DHEA, Royal Jelly, CQ10. Omega 3 along with pregnacare and folic acid. I also think accupuncture helped me the first time round. I've heard lots of protein helps and did really try to get at least 65g whilst stimming including a litre of milk each day (!). I also cut down on the amount of exercise I was doing in the past and just light walks.....unsure how much of this actually works and how much is fiction but I'm willing to try anything! :) I've also found that trying to keep as stressfree and positive is a help. Lots & lots of luck and babydust to you too.:) xxxx

Hi Confusion, Thank you for sharing your story,i'll hold on to the hope I get from this forum. It is a difficult journey and talking to real people who have similar experiences just makes me feel better :) Yes I am on DHEA for 3 month and a handful of other vitamins i'm also starting acupuncture soon, any other recommendations u think of? Sorry to hear about your MC and I hope you implant the little "icy" ones soon :) Baby dust your way xx

Hi Tinkerbell My OR was described as 'horrific' - probably due to my 'vintage'. However, I have had 3 ivf's now and got a good number of eggs each time! My first go was successful but sadly the pregnancy didnt last but we have tried again twice and collected eggs each time just not able to implant them yet due to hormone issues (so they are 'on ice'). So PLEASE dont let this upset you or demotivate you. If I can get them then I'm positive you can!! Whilst there is a huge part of me that is anti going on the internet through this process I have to say that the low OR success stories I found really kept/keep me going.xxx p.s. are you on DHEA tablets? <em>edited by confusion on 30/05/2012</em>
