Success after IF

Success with #2 and POF?

I'm currently 33 (turning 34 in 3 months)


Our journey started back in 2009.  We had tried for about a year on our own before mentioning something to my doctor.  OBGYN did three rounds of Clomid with me before sending me to a RE.  First doctor I saw ran blood work, which obviously came back bad.  I was just about to turn 28 years old and had a FSH 27 and AMH 0.1  He told me that the chances of success were less than 5%  His recommendation was adoption or IVF with donor eggs.  All of this bad on one blood test.  No other monitoring done.  Diagnosis Premature Ovarian Failure.

I quickly made an appointment with another RE and he pretty much agreed with the diagnosis, but said that he'd be willing to try and help me.  He did an u/s immediately and said I had a few follicles which was a good sign.  We did an injectable IUI cycle in April that was a bust, but ended up pregnant naturally in May!  Our miracle is now 4 1/2 years old.

Throughout the past 4 years we've tried for #2 but took an approach of "If it happens, it happens"  I didn't want to get all crazy like I was when trying to get pregnant the first time.  As time goes on I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that we'll most likely never have a second.

Has anyone else had success with such terrible numbers and that big of a gap between first child and second child?

  • No experience here, but wanted to say good luck! Have you thought about going back to the RE to see what your numbers look like now? You might also want to check out the Secondary IF board as well. It is for people going through treatments trying to conceive another child.
