Always trust your gut!

in Trouble TTC
I don't post often, mostly lurk and learn from all of you. I wanted to post a heads up to everyone that if your gut is telling you something, trust it, listen to it. Also do not be afraid to advocate fro yourself and question your doctor if something doesn't feel right.
The back story on the heads up. My dh and I have been ttc since Dec. 2010. Had hsg in Dec. 11 and was told tubes were clear. Continued oop fertility treatments with no success. I kept feeling like we were missing something. Had a lap done in April 2013 and found complete blockage of right tube- huge cyst attached to pelvic wall. At post op appt. asked about repeating testing since it had been over a year and I was now almost 38. RE told me I was a baby- age wise- when it came to infertility treatments, but he would rerun the tests to give me piece of mind. Called yesterday with my AMH - 0.39- and said everything looked good. I of course googled that and found that was not the case. This morning I get a second call telling me based on AMH I have severely diminished ovarian reserve and we need IVF. Also found out my AMH when the labs were run last year was only 0.41- also extremely poor ovarian reserve. I am so angry and frustrated that we wasted a year of treatments- clomid, injects, iui- when we really needed IVF. I will be getting a second opinion as I have lost all faith in my current RE. Of course we are in the middle of a treatment cycle, so I still have to go back there for monitoring in the meantime.
Moral of the story, you know your body better than your doc. If you feel something isn't right, question, get a second opinion. Always trust your gut!
