Hi, I am a loooong time member of The Knot/Nest/Bump. I have a 3 year old DD who was conceived naturally after 18ish months of TTC, while we were waiting on our treatment plan from the RE (Unexplained IF). We have been trying for #2 for 25 months. A year ago we did an unsuccessful clomid IUI, and then another cancelled due to cyst. Took some time off, sort of in denial that we wouldn't get pregnant. Switched RE and did all new testing this spring, and my AFC went from 24 when trying for my DD, down to 10 and my AMH is .9. RE estimates that our chances of conceiving naturally at this point is less than 2% a month, and in a year it will be 1%. Officially diagnosed with DOR.
The plan is to do 2 injectable IUIs, and if they don't work we will have to figure out how to afford IVF as we have no IF coverage. I got AF this morning, so will have baseline and teaching appointment tomorrow or Tuesday.
This board was a great resource and support to me in the past. I've checked out the secondary IF board, and it's not very active, so I hope it's OK if I post here with siggy warnings?
I've been lurking the past couple weeks, and just wanted to come out of the closet and say hi!
