Newbie intro - ball of emotions

in TTC after 35
I am so grateful to find this group!!! Me 37, DH 40 TTC since 2012 IUI: Clomid...BFN 12/12 IVF: Just getting started After trying naturally for years after being on Depo provera, my DH agreed we needed to do something different. We decided to try IUI which resulted in BFN. I was so crushed and knew I wasn't ready to do more. Well a year and 3 months later - we are starting our ivf journey. I'm scared, I'm anxious, I'm excited, I'm... fill in the blank with any emotion!

My CD 3 results showed low AMH (<1). So I'm taking 100 mg of DHEA & prenatal per RE.  Also started acupuncture and taking her suggested supplements: royal jelly, L argenine

THANKS to this site - I'm in process of adding insurance to our small business where infertility will be covered.



Me 37 DH 40 
TTC since 2008, Unexplained IF 
IUI #1 clomid + trigger, BFN 12/12 
IVF #1 getting ready for June cycle --  dhea, royal jelly, l arginine & acupuncture

    I'm in a similar situation as you are.  I just kinda join this board today!

    Everybody is very welcoming!  I'm also 37 starting my first IVF in May.  I just did CD3 testing and I'm waiting for my results.  I'm guessing AMH will come back low as they only saw 6 follicles.

    Good luck with everything!

    Welcome.
    Good to hear you are able to get ins to cover your IVF. I hope it happens quickly for you.
    I know this is an emotional time and we will be here for you through it all. I myself have never gone that route but many of the other wonderful ladies are. But I do know the emotional roller coaster ttc can be so that I can help with.

    Welcome!!
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April

    Hello and welcome to the board :) Happy to here you have some insurance!! I never did IVF with OE but jumped straight into donor eggs. Good luck to you!

    ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

    Welcome!! I've done a few IVF's so feel free to ask anything.  Also, the Infertility board has lots a women undergoing IVF and you may want to join there as well. It's generally a younger crowd over there, but still helpful nonetheless. They have a pretty detailed board intro message that you could check out too. All the best to you in your journey.
