Well IVF is the next option...its $20,000-25,000 but ill call them Monday and talk to a lady about what my insurance would cover...then go from there. We can do special financing and payments...but we are going to try and elimante some debt first...the doctor is frustrated and doesn't know why I'm not pregnant yet says dh looks fine...km ovulating now...so its unexplained...but his goal is to get us our family and IVF will get us there. He doesn't think we should have any problems concieving with IVF. And he is giving me prometrum to regulate my periods.

Hi Everyone

About Me (29) ->> Been TTC officially since July 2012, and NTNP since about October 2011 with DH (30)

so far through tests my "issues" are - possible insulin resistance or PCOS (but no cysts found), only one fallopian tube, very low AMH (1.5?), very small ovaries, very irregular periods, usually don't ovulate, very few follicles

Currently taking - Metformin 1500mgs, Ubiquinol, Fertilpro Vitmamins, DHEA 75mgs

Have tried/had - HSG, Soy, Reflexology, and on first round of Femera

 

[Tarotempres]

PDubs - Welcome. Please be careful on the DHEA. I had a negative reaction to it and it screwed up my liver function. My AMH is lower than that and my RE was able to get us our dream come true so there is hope. I tried CoQ10 and found that helped with my egg quality.

Good Luck to you.

 

[4magpies]

I very much doubt you have PCOS if your AMH is that low sweetie.

I have PCOS badly and my AMH is 52!

I take co enzyme q10 also, royal jelly and omega 3 fish oil as they're all meant to be good for egg quality.

 

[PDubs10612]

Tarot - Congrats on your success and Thank you for the heads up about the DHEA. Where were you getting your DHEA, was it compounded and prescribed? What do you think it was that finally helped conceiving, or was it just a combination of things?

Magpies - We are skeptical about the PCOS as well, it was a diagnosis at the beginning of testing and with recent discoveries seems less likely (because of the AMH and no cysts) basically something else is causing my other PCOS like symptoms..and the AMH thing threw the FS off as well as he was fairly sure of the PCOS and had my AMH retested..anyway, slowly feel like we may be getting somewhere

Good luck, that is very exiting fx for you!

 

[Tarotempres]

PDubs - it was prescribed by my RE. They use a specific pharmacy in NYC to get it. My RE never also rechecked my liver function my regular doctor found it doing routine blood work but my liver function was so abnormal he was extremely concerned. I was the DHEA for over 3 months. I do think the CoQ10 helped in combination with my new RE who lowered the doses on all of my meds. My body responded a lot better to less medication. We knew going into it I wasn't going to make a lot of eggs. I made two eggs my IVF cycle and they weren't of great quality. My IUI cycle with the new doctor I made four eggs, on less meds, and they were better quality. I would talk to your doctor about taking you off of the metformin also if they think you don't have PCOS. Best of Luck and if you have any questions please do not hesitate because it sounds like we have similar issues.

I tried CoQ10 and found that helped with my egg quality.

Can you tell us a bit more about the CoQ10 - how many do you take a day and do you take it throughout the whole cycle?

Thanks

Hi Guys! This is my first time posting on this thread. I have been TTC #1 for around two years now. I have my first appointment with a dr. about it in four days. I should have gone sooner, I know, but for some reason I just kept convincing myself that I just hadn't waited long enough. I don't really know what I am hoping to hear from the doctor. I'm pretty nervous that I am going to hear something like "Oh, you're so young! You have plenty of time. Just keep trying!" or "Go home and do blank blank and blank and then come see me in a few months!". I feel like I've tried everything that doesn't involve going to the doctor and if I hear anything that isn't a proactive response then I worry I am going to explode on the doctor. I know I shouldn't be whining since I haven't been to the doctor about it but my poor husband is so sick of everything turning in to a conversation about fertility that I had to find some way to give him a break and the regular TTC thread makes me want to scream "Two months?! TWO MONTHS?!!?" Haha, anyway, looking to give and get support. BTW, where can I find these cool keeping-track-of-things things that some of you have in your signatures? Good luck to everyone!

Serenyx - I take 200 twice a day. I started taking it I would say in December and the cycle we did in February my eggs were improved. I have extremely low AMH but my estrogen levels were all good which is why my new RE thought he would be able to do something and he was right. Best of Luck to you.

Wynter - your doctor is probably going to send you for a lot of blood tests before he or she really tells you anything. Your DH may have to go for a semen analysis also so be prepared for that.
