Anyone else had these sorts of numbers and had IVF success?????

[nothing2lose]

Hello all,

This is my first post in the IVF/ICSI pages (at least I am pretty sure it is!) I havent started IVF yet but am scheduled to begin in February (prelim counselling, etc in Jan). I hope no-one minds me popping in to ask a question! (i have been stalking for a while!)

I am currently on my 5th clomid cycle (100mg cd 4-8). It is getting me ovulating each time with nice big follicles(yay!) but no BFPs

My medical issues (in short) are PCOS, adenomyosis, slight endometriosis (unproven but highly likely according to FS), possible endometrial hyperplasia (again, unproven but suspected). My tubes are fine (at least that's one thing going for me!) but my uterus is enlarged due to the adenomyosis. I am also old (39) and fat (BMI 38)

My DP has okay sperm (but not brilliant) - morphology 92% abnormal

My prelim blood tests came back as FSH 5.5 and AMH 17.9 (not sure what other tests are relevant so I wont bother with them!)

I also like long walks on the beach and my favourite color is green - but I guess that's not relevant

Okay, sorry for the long winded medical rundown, I promise I am getting to the question...

As the time gets closer, I am getting more nervous and less optimistic about the success of IVF/ICSI given my age, weight and "issues". I dont want to spend $10,000+ just to be even more heartbroken than I am now. Is there anyone out there who has similar numbers/issues to me and had success??????

Am I wasting my time (and money)? How many times should I try before I call it quits? How do I decide?

I know that by posting here I really am looking for someone to say, 'I had exactly the same scenario and IVF worked for me first time!!' Extremely unlikely, but if you are out there, give me a hoy!!

Given my age, time is fast running out , if it hasnt already. I need this to work quickly otherwise...well, you know....nothing

thanks for listening

PS I will be doing an antagonist cycle on gonal f (262.5)
