The IVF process is a marathon and not a sprint. At-least it was for us. We started our journey 4 years ago trying to get pregnant at the age of 41. We tried naturally for 6 months in 2019. We then proceeded to try the Catholic method by Tracking our Ovulation for 6 more months. When this did not work for us, we started the fertility treatments. My diagnosis was Diminished Ovarian Reserve, Low AMH, Peri-Menopausal and High FSH.
At age 42, in 2020 we underwent 4 IUI treatments back to back. After each of these failed, we decided to try Conventional IVF with a Clinic that was open to women of advanced maternal age when the pandemic started in May 2020. Conventional IVF was a disaster for us. Even though it is the most common IVF treatment and most couples/partners build their entire families from it, it was not for us. Due to my diagnosis, we ended up with only one mature egg and the doctor reverted it to an IUI.
It was at this time, that we discovered Mini IVF after conducting our own research and advocating for ourselves. We learned about Embryo Banking which would allow a person to retrieve as many eggs as possible via mini ivf, store them over time, in the hopes that one would take. After all it only takes one egg. Right? Unfortunately due to my age, my Doctor at the time, refused to offer this but agreed to try Mini IVF one time at most twice. They then begun to redirect me at age 42 to Donor egg.
We felt that we had not exhausted all our options to try with my own eggs and so were not open to to donor egg. I wanted to try with my own eggs first. This is when I found Dr. Frank Yelian of the Life IVF Center in Orange County, California. Dr. Yelian not only believed in helping older women conceive with their own eggs, He felt every embryo deserved a chance. He is the miracle doctor that resulted in my pregnancy at 44 with my own genetic egg. We underwent Embryo banking with 12 Mini IVF Cycles and it was the toughest experience we have ever faced but also brought us our greatest joy.
