Hi guys,

Thanks for your replies. My friend is pretty aware of the stats, I guess it was more the fact that this FS was refusing to offer her IVF due to the low chance. I've gone through IVF and I was pretty shocked at that response - my friend pretty much took it as meaning she should give up. This was before any investigations or anything!

I thought it might be helpful for her to see a FS who has treated over 40s before, rather than taking pot luck that she'd get someone helpful. I know of a friend who was 42 on her first cycle, so it can't be that unusual....! I'm pretty upset on her behalf. My FS was a bit detached, but I never encountered anything that insensitive.

Cheers,
Tish
