Hi ladies - looking for any advice or success stories. Below is my TTC history. I have my WTF appointment with my RE in about 10 days and I want to be prepared with questions and suggestions for next steps. I do like and trust my doctor, the clinic and their lab. But I am open to getting a second opinion if I need to.
I've had AMH measured 3 times in past 2 years (.69, 1.92, .94) - Dr. thinks I'm probably close to 1.0 based on AFC of 9. Based on these numbers Dr. thought I'd easily get 5-7 eggs each cycle with 3-4 blasts. Not the case! Looks like I'm a poor responder or I have both low count and quality of eggs. Neither DH nor I are ready to consider DEs.
Other things I've been doing: prenatal with folate; Ubiquinol; Vitamin D; Ovasitol; Omega 3; Iron; and acupuncture. Low carb diet - no sugar, wheat, gluten, caffeine or alcohol.
TIA!
Me - 37 (Ovarian Dysfunction?) DH - 48 (Mild MFI) - TTC #1 Since 1/15
6/15 - Start having irregular cycles with extremely heavy bleeding. Unexplained - hormone levels seem fine
3/16 - RE recommends IUIs followed by IVF - cycles regulate
7/16 - IUI #1 with Clomid and Trigger - BFN
8/16 - IUI #2 - Trigger only - BFN - Switch REs due to insurance
11/16 - IVF #1 - 7 follicles - 5R/1M/0F with ICSI - We guess that I was over-suppressed on BCP and triggered too early
1/17 - Start low carb diet and lose 20-25 pounds
2/17 - Discover mild case of Hashimotos. Start .025 mcg Synthroid although TSH levels always appeared normal
3/17 - IVF canceled due to cyst
4/17 - IVF #2.A - Lupron flare - Only 5 follicles and two dominants. Convert to IUI with trigger. BFN - go back to original protocol but switch to estrogen priming instead of BCP
7/17 - IVF #2.B - EPP + Omnitrope - 8 follicles - 3R/3M/3F with ICSI - transfer the only blast that makes it to day 5 (grade BB) - no frosties - BFN
