Formal intro and nervousness

twodaisiestwodaisies member
in TTC after 35

Hi!  I've been lurking for a while and chimed in on a few posts here and there. I just turned 41 and have been trying off and on for a year. I've had all the preliminary testing done: day 3 bloodwork (amh is low); progesterone tests (low); fibroid; hsg (tubes clear); shg.  Dh's testing was done as well and was slightly low on one count, but not enough to need intervention. 

 My follow up with the re is Wednesday and I am really starting to get nervous. I'm worried that Ill be given very little hope of conceiving without ivf or donor eggs. I was doing ok just telling myself that what happens, happens. But now I'm starting to worry. 

 I know others are going through this as well so I just wanted to jump in and say hi.

    Me 38 MH 41 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI. Straight to IVF with ICSI. IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

    IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double :( 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic.  Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome?  06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope!  06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally!  06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great :)  EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!

    Welcome! And I hope for a good diagnosis! At least you are being proactive and getting this stuff figured out.

    Welcome and good luck! Just keep telling yourself that whatever happens, happens, even if it is treatment.

    Wishing you the best of luck!  My sister did IVF and she has 4 children through 3 implantations.  IVF is an amazing thing but I truly hope you don't need that kind of intervention!
