Hi,
I have always been a lurker rather than a poster as posting is not really my thing but I thought I may be able to give someone some hope.
Sorry this may be an essay!
We have been trying for a baby since the beginning of 2010 and it wasnt happening. Im 42 nearly 43. Cycles had become irregular 17-36 days.
Eventually I was referred to a consultant in april this year who took bloods to check my AMH levels.
I was also referred for a hysterosalpingogram.
I went for the HSG but having read the pamphlet they gave me beforehand I was mildly concerned that I may be sensitive to the dye used(had a very very mild skin reaction 16 years previously). I ummed and ahhed as to whether I needed to mention it and decided I should. They were very concerned and wouldnt do the test.
Two weeks later I went back to the consultant who was so kind and gently broke the news to me that my AMH was 0.6%, too low to go on Clomid and chances of IVF or any sort of success being extremely low.
I cried and came home.
No AF showed but I didnt get excited as Ive had a 36 day cycle before. Didnt test as a BFN really would have seemed like the end. I waited until I was two weeks late. Tested and BFP!!.
The really freaky thing is that had I had the HSG I couldnt have tried to conceive that cycle and would have missed The One Good One!.
Also when the consultant was telling me I had almost no chance I was already pregnant.
Im under no illusion about my chances of MC(been there before) but the first miracle has happened.
So.....................when they tell you 'No Chance' please dont give up. It only takes one good egg.
Take care and good luck to everyone

One snowbaby left sitting in freezer. My dh has always had doubts about fertility treatment. He thinks we've done it before, we can do it again. But I was scared and felt a time pressure upon me. Am trying to chill out a bit now and see if it happens naturally. Thanks for sharing and good luck xx
