TTC after 35

Newbie Intro

Hi all, I'm 37 years old, married 3 years and have casually been TTC for a few months. I figured I had all the time in the world, I feel healthy and much younger than my 37 years. About a month ago, after having crushing pain, OB discovered a tennis ball cyst on my right ovary. Surgery was scheduled for a week later to remove the cyst and hopefully save the ovary but thankfully, it burst beforehand.  I say thankfully because my cyst was saved. 

Anyhow, it was soooo painful and I'm glad to have that behind me. So! After all that happened, I had all kinds of BW done and found out I have an AMH of .022.  Yes, I have the AMH of a woman in her late 40s. So off I went to the RE. She told me that the AMH did not necessarily mean I couldn't get pregnant so after all this time of carefree living, my DH and I have decided to start trying "for real". I've started charting and using OPKs, trying to time sex. I will have a hysteroscopy at next cycle and DH is getting SA done. If all turns out well, we will likely go injectables and IUI.

Good to meet you and good fortune to all.
