Hi- I was diagnosed in December with DOR so I am hoping to find/give support on this board. I am 33 and my husband is 43 (mostly fine- a few low counts but makes up for it in motility according to the RE anyways).

I was diagnosed due to low AMH and AFC at baseline. Surprisingly, my other levels have been okay so far. This was my first cycle on Clomid and I had my first IUI on 1/19 so I am in the TWW (yet I have AF cramps today so I am counting it as a loss this month already!).

anyways- I just wanted to say hi and I wish all of you the best of luck.

Me 36/DH 46 Me: Low AMH (.21) DOR, mild endo; Started seeing RE 11/12
Jan-March '13 3 IUIs Clomid + Trigger = BFN
April '13 IVF 1 MDLF converted to 4th IUI due to 3 runaway follicles! BFN
July/Aug '13 IVF 1.2 Long Lupron = 7R, 6F, 2T= BFP!!!
Beta 1=512, Beta 2=1,368 Beta 3= 4,128
It's a boy!!!!

    I don't mind at all.   I did 1 cycle of Clomid and 1 IUI before I found out I had DOR & a blocked fallopian tube.   I am in the 2ww of my first IVF cycle.  I was on 425iu of Follistem & 10-20iu of HCG Micro for 12 days.   I only got 2 viable eggs, but both turned out to be good quality, which I'm thankful for.

    Welcome and sorry you have to be here!  Fingers crossed for a quick BFP for this cycle!  I was recently diagnosed DOR also after a misdiagnosis of first PCOS, then Unexplained.  I'm doing my first IVF cycle now. 
    Me (37) DH (39); PCOS changed to Unexplained, changed to DOR in 2012 (finally a correct diagnosis!); 
    Started TTC 2009 with RE after 6 months.  
    Clomid + Trigger x2; 
    IUI + Femara x1,
    IUI + Follistim x2;
    IVF #1 (MDL) February 2013- BFN.
    IVF #2 (antagonist) May 2013, First BFP of my life. 
    Identical twin miracle BOYS (!!) headed our way- due date is technically 2/4/14 but c section is scheduled for 1/7!

    Thanks again for the welcomes. While I am sorry that you are all going through this, it is nice to "meet" people that are going through similar experiences. All of my friends had babies recently and conceived quickly. They are supportive but really don't understand my struggles...My treatments are just beginning and I am so overwhelmed with everything!

    Again- thank you all for the welcomes and sharing your stories. I hope we all leave this board shortly!!!

    I was with Penn for 2 years (unsuccessfully) and  made the switch to RMA this past fall. Dr. Sondheimer wasn't my main doc but when you're there for two years, you see pretty much everybody. My H and I always joke about how hairy his chest is!
