Almost 40 and TTC

[TTC74]

It's been a while since I've chimed in. So, here goes.

I turn 40 in 11 days and I've been TTC for about 7 months now. I just got all my fertility studies back and have learned that everything is normal except for my AMH which is very low at .3. The doctor thinks that we have lots of options, though, since my tubes are open and my other numbers are normal. I'll found out more Thursday during my consultation. Any stories regarding successes or lack of success in assisted natural conception with a very low AMH would be much appreciated. Heck, just to know what I might be in for would be nice!

As for this month, my cycle is running really long. Although I understand that the docs say HSG shouldn't affect your cycle, I've seen posts from tons of women who say otherwise, and I don't know any other reason why my cycle is running so long. Normally I O on CD14 or 15. According to my fertility monitor, though, I just became "highly" fertile yesterday on CD14 and usually it takes 6-7 days from the time I become "highly" fertile to the day I reach "peak" fertility.

Here's to hoping I'm one of those handful of women who become pregnant the month of their HSG.

I am not familiar with AMH but rooting for you! Keep us posted!

Hi there. I'll be 41 in a month. Been actively TTC for a year. This is our last cycle au natural. I've been to the RE and me and my fiance did some tests (we haven't gotten his results back yet) and I'm due to get my HSG test very soon. My AMH and FSH were normal for my age. But there's so many options out there if they're not.

The doctor wants to be aggressive and go straight to Clomid and IUI. I'm nervous and anxious. I just started a new job and don't know how I'm going to do insemination. Well, I guess we'll just have to figure it out.
