Newly labelled infertile

I just want my kid to have a sibling, and not sure if I should really go down this road of chasing my one last egg. I have seen Dr. Zhang in New York for an intro appointment (after seeing Spandorfer at Cornell who told me I needed an egg donor while I was still up in the stirrups- just lovely).

Dr. Zhang says its too early for me to be going for an egg donor, that I should give it six months to a year of his low stim IVF. Truth is, if I wait that long, my three year old BB turns 4, 5, 6.... Also, I am a bit afraid that he is selling me a bit too much. This is his cash cow, women like me. He says with six months effort, I have a 20% chance.

I feel so selfish for waiting so long in life to have my children- it was one excuse in my head after another. I need one more promotion first, I need to own a home first, I need to have some more time with my husband first. Well, there are consequences to this kind of thinking and here it is.

Me:38 1/2
TTC: 5 months (got a weird period, and landed at the RE)
1 Failed IUI
FSH: 18 (kiss of death), 11 next month
DH: very good, but tired of me going on and on about this!

Any thoughts out there on just cutting and running to the DE??

(This is my first post to any chat room ever!)
