Hi ladies, I am really concerned about posting this in here and I just pray I get kind responses as it was a total let down the last place I posted and now Im just really upset about it. If anything is wrong in my post please let me know kindly and I can find a way to remove it......
My husband and I have been ttc for 3.5 years (since we got married in June of 2011). I have a 13 year old son, had a miscarriage prior to him. My husband has no children. I was diagnosed with low ovarian reserve or DOR (diminished ovarian reserve) 2.5 years ago. Tried two IUI's with one RE and gave up easily after to BFN's. They told us our only option was IVF but we were not considering that for personal reasons. We took some time off and in October 2014 we decided to start back up again with another RE. My AMH level once again confirmed DOR at 0.824. I had another SIS and SHG in November to confirm no blocked tubes and uterus okay. Had a natural cycle at that time. Was taking Fertility Blend, vitamin d(because I was really low), fish oil to help with egg quality and aspirin (to help with implantation if I were to conceive). I stopped the fertility blend for my third IUI cycle (first with this new RE) because you can't take it with fertility drugs. They started me on injectables which were Follistim at 150iu. After three days they confirmed I was doing so well on it that they lowered by dose to 75iu for the next six days! I triggered on 12/3 with three matures follicles! My estrogen was also at 1,027 when I triggered which was amazing for me. I had my iui on 12/4 and I also had acupuncture 20 minutes prior to iui and 10 minutes after the iui. I didn't care for the acupuncture. We had 76 million washed sperm of my husbands. He decided to take fertility blend for men to help with his count, motility and morphology. I took an hpt 12 days after trigger shot. It did come out positive but I was concerned it was the trigger shot still not fully out of my system. I tested three more times after that and all got darker. I was still very cautious. First beta was exactly 3.5 years to the day we were married on 12/18/14 (married on 6/18/11). Beta was 113 and progesterone was 28.3! Second beta was 611 and progesterone was 36.9 and third beta was 7,679 and progesterone was over 40. With my progesterone being high this is great because it means less of a chance of miscarrying. I am on progesterone pessories. I am currently 6 weeks and extremely full of anxiety which I am sure doesn't help. I do believe it was a blessing from God and my RE was just amazing. We go in on Monday to hear the heartbeat and I am really praying everything goes well. I am glad to be here ladies and I pray for happy and healthy pregnancies..........Thanks.

I know someone else probably has a better link to the how-to page - I can't seem to find the one I recall reading right now. But I know when you are on these pages the little person icon shows up in the upper right and it gives you the option to set signature settings.
