We just did our 4th and final IUI with injections yesterday and are setting up for IVF with retrieval in January. Last week I was told that I have an amh of 2.03. I am 36. Because of these results, my RE said that we should stop trying IUI and move to IVF. Prior to the amh result he said we could continue with IUI since we hadn't had a "optimal cycle" yet. What a difference a couple days make.
We hope that this last IUI will give us a positive, but I fear this is going to be a very hard month. I have to do a pregnancy test on the day before my birthday and if it's negative I start injections Christmas Eve. 2 years of TTC and all I have to show for it is one chemical pregnancy.
Since my insurance will cover IVF and my job isn't exactly stable right now we wanted to try as soon as possible. My RE is starting me on estradiol and progesterone (oral) on Dec 8th. He stated that this would be safe in the event that I am pregnant prior to testing. We are also doing PGS since we were told that half of the eggs I produce will not be genetically viable so if we are going to invest time, money, and emotion I want to give us the best chances possible.
I think deep down I always thought this was where we would end up....
