Base line / Egg Count Test ?

[buliej]

In the old days, I would investigate further - we found another way to have our little miracle and what my own eggs were doing became irrelevant and I now spend my energy obsessing on other things (like safe play mats...as you may have seen from some of my recent posts) . But what melbel says makes sense intuitively.

If only I could stop obsessing about my eggs!!!!!!!! lol. Any hints welcome

[melbel]

nope because I am just as bad if not worse...coming up to 42 and desperate for a sibling for master C but have just been told I need urgent dental work that I put off when pregnant and breastfeeding Connor for obvious reasons so there goes our IVF slush fund...anyone got the winning tattslotto numbers fore this week?

[Miss.B]

I don't hun but I would love to know what they are too! Bugger about the dental work though I was in a similar boat, when half way through my pg with Cam I was told I needed to come back after he was born for some more major dental work (2 root canals). Thank God it's now done, but our $$ are rather depleted for now too. Bring on those lotto numbers!!!!!

I have always been led to believe AMH was an indication of reserve but not quality, although what Mel said is true too. Basically it's like bingo. Each month an egg is spat out (so to speak!) but as we get older the number in the barrel diminishes as the good eggs have been spat out earlier in our lives. So we are left with fewer of a lesser quality. Sorry for the bad analogy - my brain is diminishing too!!
MissB - egg quality is a current obsession of mine too!!! I am 40 in a month and I feel like my eggs are ancient!!!

[Miss.B]

Ahh, we should start a new thread on how to inject positivity (and maybe even improve our egg quality ) into our 'egg quality' issues!! lol. Ladies, we should, each day, positively affirm how good our eggs are and how they will produce some fine babies for us

PS NTL, I have everything crossed for you lovely (been stalking you in the 2WW hehehehe).

Haha! Thanks MissB! So you know that not only do I have dodgy eggs, I am certifiably insane, ridiculously impatient and more than just a little stupid at times!!!

(sorry for hijacking too!)

[Miss.B]

hahaha N2L, you are just gorgeous and you DON'T have dodgy eggs!!!!!! lol. Remember, we have great quality eggs I wish you all the very best in getting your little miracle very soon

All good ladies, I was actually very interested to read the differing views on the egg quality, I will see what my FS has to say on the matter and report back
