Hi ladies, 

Long-time lurker outing herself. I've been lurking on here and TTCAL and TTGP for the last few months, but I think I feel most comfortable here, even though my situation is kind of gray area. If this isn't where I belong, just let me know.

**TW-live lo & losses mentioned** I have an 18 mo ds and I actually spent quite a bit of time on these boards during my pregnancy. He was born in Fall 2015. I do want to mention that during TTC my son, I was irrationally worried about my fertility but ended up pregnant on our 3rd try. I assumed all was well.

Fast forward to Dec 2016 and during a routine visit to OB, found out that my AMH was abnormally low (I am 34, AMH at .2) which pointed to DOR. It was probably low during the time I was TTC my son. So, I guess trust your gut! Got referral to RE and was told to start trying ASAP. RE checked me out and told me that everything looked ok and based on my age, that we can either try naturally for 3 cycles or proceed to IUI. He didn't seem very concerned about the low AMH. Our insurance coverage isn't the best, so with his confidence about our situation, I opted to try naturally. 

That has been it's own heartbreaking journey- I am on my 3rd CP in 3 months now. And I feel like I am at my wit's end with IF. **TW-End**.

As you know, this journey can take a toll and even though my journey has been relatively short, it's been pretty jam packed. I identify so much with you ladies when you describe how you feel: I am off all social media officially because i can't take anymore announcements and bump pics. I am having an adolescent moment almost: the world is so unfair! I did all the right things (get an education, build a career etc) that this most basic thing (a basic right to all women, in my opinion) is fraught with so much complication and effort. 

I think at this point, my option is to continue on with ART, which was always on the horizon. I have my next RE appointment next week to figure out a gameplan. 

Thank you for giving me a platform to share my story. I am hoping desperately that we all get our babies at the end of this journey.
