I hope this is the right place for me :)

I've been on the TTCAL board since last September and some recent events have made me want to intro over here.  I have two daughters (3 and almost 6) who I conceived very easily and were uneventful pregnancies.  We started to TTC #3 June '13 and have had two miscarriages one in September and one in February of this last year.  I started to see an RE at the end of March and all of my blood work came back "normal" for a 36 year old, except my AMH is very low (0.20).  I'm at the beginning of my first IUI cycle but have been told by the practice that because of my low AMH conceiving through IUI will most likely not be my best bet and that I should consider IVF instead.  IVF is not covered by my insurance and we don't have the money right now to pay out of pocket.  

The world of IUI and IVF is very new to me and I was hoping I could join your board.  Even though I'm new to this I promise to be as supportive to all of you as I can be!

    Welcome i'm sorry for your losses and I hope your stay here is short.

    TTC#1 May 2009- July 2010 on our own with no luck

    Started with RE in August 2010, dx with unexplained IF and then finally our 3rd IUI cycle using Follistim and Trigger resulted in our wonderful little man.  Born 12/2/11

    TTC#2 Never really prevented, but were careful early on as Dr. reccomended

    Surprise BFP 12/16/13, started progesterone immediately as first numbers came back low, but betas were good.  Progesterone wasnt enough. Natural MC 12/24/13.

    Back with RE as of January 2014...

    5/27/14- Chemical Pregnancy :(

    April 2015 IVF#1

    5/13/15- BFP, please stick LO!

    Oh and I'm a major Harry Potter Nerd :)

    I'm so very sorry for your losses. it's devastating to lose your babies. i am glad you were referred to an RE and i wish you the best of luck. maybe your RE can put you on Clomid to  make more eggs in hopes that there is a "good" egg released during your IUI cycle?

    Right now I'm on femara and I have 7 follies but only 2 look promising. My E2 numbers are low though which points towards neither having mature eggs. I have another monitoring appointment tomorrow so we'll see how things look.
