Hi everyone,

I’m 42, single, using a sperm donor, with DOR, very low AMH (0.15), and high FSH.

At 41, I went through 3 failed IVF cycles and 1 cancelled cycle using mini-IVF. In total, I got 7 day-3 embryos, but none implanted, likely due to aneuploidy (my RE recommended day-3 transfers without PGT-A testing to maximize transfer chances).

As a final attempt before moving to donor eggs, my RE has suggested trying IUI, as one last IVF cycle may not offer much more advantage over IUI at this point. I’ve never tried IUI before. I consistently produced 2–4 mature eggs per cycle, have had a 100% fertilization rate, and usually make day3 embryos (2–4 per cycle).

I also just can’t handle the emotional and financial toll of IVF anymore.

Right now, I think I just need a big hug… and maybe some hope. Has anyone had success with IUI at 42 after failed IVF? Or any input? I would really love to hear your stories. Thank you

I produced 2–4 mature eggs per cycle, have had a 100% fertilization rate, and usually make good-quality day-3 embryos (2–4 per cycle).

I also just can’t handle the emotional and financial toll of IVF anymore.

Right now, I think I just need a big hug… and maybe some hope.
