Beyond frustrated, fluid in uterus

I'm beyond devastated and frustrated. I've had 2 failed donor egg IVF cycles owed I think mostly to the fact that whenever I my endometrium is prepared I always get a large buildup of fluid which I know is really bad news. In addition to this my lining never gets very thick. In the last cycle it was just 7mm. I have Turners Syndrome so doing a natural cycle isn't an option. I have been taking Prempak 2mg for nearly a year in the hope that this would help me respond better to the hormones but I had a mid-cycle scan recently which showed that I was still developing fluid. In addition to this I have also had a Hysteroscopy with NAD. I am just at a total loss as nobody seems to want to give me a straight answer about this issue and just seem interested in my money. Is there simply nothing that can be done? What sort of a chance do I have if this problem persists? Frustratingly I have 6 frozen blastocysts which I am desperate to try with but it just seems like I'm setting myself up for more devastation and disappointment. Am I wasting my time? Do I have much chance at all of rectifying this and having success. I would greatly appreciate any input as I'm tearing my hair out right now.

Low AMH

I recently went to a fertility specialist. My AMH was 0.8 and AFL scan showed 6. He recommended that I freeze my eggs straight away as I'm also 40 and Asian. This has blown me away a bit. Does this mean that I have very low chances?

Management of Herpes during IVF

I'm trying to get some information on the management of genital herpes during IVF. I used to have regular (monthly) severe outbreaks which have totally abated with the use of prophylactic Aciclovir (400mg). I'm anxious about discontinuing this and getting outbreaks during IVF treatment which is very, very likely to happen, but wonder whether continued use of Aciclovir throughout the cycle will reduce the chance of success.

Miscarriage

I am 38 and TTC for four years. In between I have had two miscarriages. I have regular clockwork periods. I have had blood tests checking my ovulation and it came back normal.
I went to a fertility clinic at the hospital and was told to lose 7 stone. I am possibly 2 stone overweight. I was also informed I may of may not get Clomid after 7 stone weight loss and also will not be immediately referred for IVF, that my situation would have to go before a board??
Why do I feel that this is unfair?? That all hope of receiving any help disintegrating daily? I don't have the luxury of time on my side as already 38.
Please help me to understand their reasoning as I cannot.

Sterilization

Did the tubal ligation a year ago, now I'm in a new relationship and would like to get pregnant again, but do not want to make the reversal of tubal ligation. Is there any way for me to get pregnant again without making the reversal of the tubes?

Very low AMH

I am 37.5 years old, single and now live in Docklands in London. A couple of weeks ago I was in Greece and went for some blood tests. When I received the results, the Greek doctors told me that my AMH is too low, which means that I do not produce eggs and therefore I will never have my own children.

Could you please tell me if there is any chance that the result for AMH was wrong?
Can I repeat the blood test for AMH here in London? When can I do it and how much will it cost me?
If the results will be the same again, does this mean that I do not produce no eggs at all?
Will I have any chance if I proceed to IVF? If yes, what would the percentage be?
Why is AMH that low? Someone told me to check if I have "Chlamydia".
