We Have a Game Plan!

We got our test results back. There were some pretty interesting results. Apparently I have the eggs of about a 35 year old. The doctor said female fertility and egg quality peak around the age of 27 and begin to decline in a woman's 30s. While a woman is physically able to carry a pregnancy to term well into her forties, the quality of the eggs produced by a woman’s ovaries begins to significantly decline starting around the age of 35. From my test results, it seems I probably peaked at age 12 and have been slowly in decline since. Our doctor told us that with my eggs and Kirby's sperm, our most probable chance of conception would be through In Vitro Fertilization. However, because of the high cost of IVF, he recommended we go ahaead and try IUI for the first 2 months. Photobucket
