Secondary IF

Intro - Hoping there's at least 1 good egg in there!

Hello-

I was on TTC 35 over in 2012/2013 but have changed my login name since then. Doesn't really feel appropriate for me to pop back over there, so hoping this might be a home for me. 

DS is almost 10 months, and we're gearing up for #2. I'd love to wait a bit longer, but I'll be 42 in August and don't feel like I have the luxury of time on my side. RPL due to poor egg quality appears to be my issue. We were ready to start IVF in the summer of 2012, I had already started my estrogen patch and orderd all my meds only to get a bfp followed by a chemical, the next month miracously DS was conceived! 

DH and I have gone back and forth and have been passively ttc the past three months, I think its clear there's a good chance I'll suffer more chemicals or miscarriages when ttc#2 and that's a tough road to commit to going down. I'm ready to book an appt with my RE, (I'm not sure DH is on board with this but he'll go if I ask him to) I know he'll suggest IVF and I'm not sure we're financially ready to commit to that considering that if my AMH has gotten even worse I'll likely not respond well but I also can't imagine how we're going to really agressively ttc on our own while juggling a baby..

In the past my RE did agree to use an IVF med protocal, book the treatment as IUI and only convert to IVF if I produced enough follies, that way I wouldn't be committed to paying OOP for an IVF cycle that might not even end up in a transfer. IUI is covered by my insurance. I think this was generous of him, if not a bit pessimistic on his part lol, so that might be an option again. Anyway, sorry for the long intro, wishing the best of luck to each of you!

  • Good Luck!  And welcome to the board. 
    Trying for #2 with IVF after damage done in a D&C left me with one functioning (but too scarred) ovary and tube to get pregnant safely without assistance. It's a really, really long story, but that is the gist of it.  We have one daughter (whose c-section birth started this roller coaster) born in 2012 after a miscarriage in 2011. 
    Failed 1st attempt at IVF (Fresh ET day 3, 1 frozen embryo saved) in December 2013.  
    Failed 2nd attempt at IVF (Fresh ET day 5, 2 frozen embryos saved) in February 2014.
  • Welcome! Good Luck

  • I am new to all of this. Good luck. I also am hoping to find one good egg, since my AMH does not make my RE
    smile, and my husband has azoospermia. I have just had two natural cycles with donor IUI, and now am on day three (cd6) of my first clomid cycle. I am just starting to look for on line support. Good luck to all!
