Hi. I'm new here

in Trouble TTC
Hello.  I am a regular on the TTGP board but now that we have officially been trying 6 cycles (I'm AMA - 41) I thought I would start contributing over here too.  

H and I got married in this spring and started TTC #1 right away.  Blood work showed that I have very low AMH so I started seeing an RE after just a few months of trying.  All other tests came back normal for both me and H.  I am just starting cycle 7 and will be taking clomid this cycle with an IUI + trigger in a couple weeks.  

I try to keep a really positive attitude and not get caught up in the frustration or fear of IF.  I have found TB community to be really helpful with that.  I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.  
History and blog link in spoiler
2016 - dx with super low ovarian reserve; failed cycle with clomid, failed IUI, 
2017 - egg retrieval #1 - 3 eggs, 0 embryos appropriate for transfer; ER #2 2 eggs, 0 embryos on day 3; ER #3 1 egg 0 embryos
