I hope I am in the right place. I am 40 years old. My DD is 5 and was conceived on a break cycle after trying cycles with repronex. I was set to do IVF next. I am unexplained. These are my recent numbers:
Fsh: 8.0 Estradiol: 13.4 AMH: <0.16
My Re never tested AMH over 5 years ago, so this is new info to us.
I just got AF last night and my meds arrive today. We are doing Menopur, ganirilex, ovidril. If anyone has a similar protocal, I would love some feedback.
Of course I feel truly blessed to have my girl, but my heart hurts to give her a sibling. I hope to get to know you gals and be able to give support too!
Oh I should probably clarify that we are starting with IUI for insurance purposes and will most likely end up IVF.
Welcome. My AMH is terrible too (.20). I'm in my 2WW of my second IUI and will be moving onto IVF this summer if this one is unsuccessful. I have my pre-IVF appointment with my doctor next Wednesday so I'll make sure to share what protocol he is going to put me on. I'm sure it will be similar since we both have low AMH.
IVF #1, Stimmed for 12 days, ER 8/22/14, 9 retrieved, 7M, 7F!! Freeze all due to fluid in uterus.
FET end of October 2014 cancelled due to fluid in uterus due to possible c-scar defect
Surgery scheduled 12/12/14 to fix possible isthmocele
3/26/15 transferred one 8 cell grade 4 embryo and one 6 cell grade 3 embryo = slow rising betas for 2+ weeks = ectopic MTX shot 4/29/15
Repeat c-scar surgery June 2015
2nd and last IVF cycle August 2015, stimmed for 12 days, 2 egg retrieved, both mature and both fertilized. Transferred both 8-cell embryos on Day 3, beta 9/5/15 = BFFN
So we were IVF, (mfi) and am familiar with IVF cycles (currently on my 6th one as a FET, have done 2 fresh). I am happy to share my experiences and tips and answer any questions!

Welcome to the board. I'm not of the IVF track, so I can't offer advice. But lots of ladies here will be able to share tips tricks and simply commiserate with you. I hope it works out quickly.

Oh I should probably clarify that we are starting with IUI for insurance purposes and will most likely end up IVF. IUI never worked the first time around. Thanks.
