Sorry to be so AWish this morning but I thought I would post this instead of in the 4 check-ins I am a part of. **pregnancy mentioned not mine**
So DH and I went to see my RE for my pre-IVF meeting. DH had never met him and really liked him which was great. Even though this last cycle was my second IUI it was my first though this new practice. Before we got to talking IVF, he pulled up my records and said that on paper this cycle was "perfect", but obviously what's on paper and IRL are different since this cycle is a BFN. He said based on my response to the femara that he would like to see me do one more round of IUI + femara before moving on to IVF. Part of me was relieved to hear him say that because at some point during the day yesterday I realized that I was rushing into moving to IVF. I asked about injectables+ IUI and he said that it makes more sense financially to move to IVF instead of injectables since it's so expensive. I had a great response to the Femara, it's my super low AMH that is coming into play here. He said to stop the progesterone and call for CD 3 blood work to start the process all over again.
I realized that part of me is rushing into IVF is because of my family situation. Even though my low AMH is a huge obstacle, I was rushing into IVF to make myself feel better about my sister being due in August. This year has been really hard for me with my two losses and basically losing the relationship with my sister. IVF isn't going to immediately fix my relationship with my sister. The bottom line is that I have to do what is right for me and DH and not focus on who is getting pregnant around me. We had a ton of summer plans that were all going to be put on hold for IVF but now it looks like we have a different plan.
I am going to do one or two more rounds of Femara + IUI and move to IVF in the fall once summer is over. My RE spent over an hour talking to us and answered every single question about IVF and the PGS testing we'll be using if we get there. I feel like I am in good hands. Before we left I asked my RE if there was anything else I could be doing on my side and he said "just keep enjoying your life, have a great summer and let me worry about everything else". So that is my plan and I feel at peace with it.
Thanks for listening and being the best support system anyone could ask for
