Beginning to think it's over
After talking to our new RE this morning, I'm really starting to feel hopeless. The records my previous RE sent over weren't all that complete so I had a full exam this morning, including blood work and u/s. He thinks its worth checking my AMH but based on my FSH (17-18 the last 2 cycles) and low # of antra follicles, he still thinks our best option would be to use a donor egg. At first I thought that would definitely be an option but the more I consider it, the more I'm leaning towards accepting that we might be OAD. I'm very sad but feeling like I could be ok with that in time.
DD conceived naturally in 2009. TTC #2 since August 2010. Praying for guidance as we decide what's next.
When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."
