Infertility

Intro *loss mentioned*

Now that I have started stims for my first IVF cycle, its probably a good time to intro to this board :)

I am Marissa (31). My husband (32) and I have been TTC for 4 years. I have low AMH (.46) other than that, all tests for me and DH came back normal.  Earlier this year I had a medicated IUI cycle that was successful but ended as an ectopic pregnancy. I had surgery in June and finally got the all clear to TTC again in August. Due to the ectopic, and increased chances of repeat ectopic, we are moving forward with IVF. I am currently in my first week of stims and things are progressing slowly but surely. From lurking, I have learned so much, so thank you for sharing all of your wisdom!





** Losses Mentioned **
Me(32) - Low AMH (0.46) and DH(33) - All good!
May 2014 - IUI (Follistim) = BFP! Ectopic. Surgery June 2014.
August/Sept 2014 - IVF #1. BFP! Chemical Pregnancy.
November 2014 - IVF #2; ER only - PGS testing 3 Frosties.
December 2014 - FET #1 - Beta on 12/17!  BFP  *It's TWINS*
