what should I do
I have not been quite in your situation. However, I know whatever your decision will be it's a tough one.
I have had 4 ivf cycles. Before doing anymore, I need to do a clomid challenge test to see where my fsh is. If it's over 15 on day 10, then they are recommending that I do not proceed w/ any more treatments. My day 3 numbers are 11 and I guess it should be at 10, so I am borderline for day 3 numbers. I know that my ovarian reserves on low. The last clomid challenge test I did in 05, my numbers are "normal." However, they seem to be getting higher. I never get a lot of mature eggs on e/r day--usually 3 or 4 of them.
I know that I will be super disappointed if I can't do anymore. However, for me, my husband and I decided that we would not do donor eggs or adopt. It's a personal choice that we both agreed on. We want our own biological kids and if it doesn't happen, we'll move on as difficult as that may be.
I think you have to sit down and decide what's an option for you and your dh. Some people want biological kids, while for others that is less important than just having children to raise.
There's a lot to think about, and I wish you the best in whatever you decide. Whatever you decide, I know that you will look at all the options and make an educated decision.
Best of luck to you.
