in Trouble TTC
Just got a call from the RE on my first lab results:
I'll tell you my numbers FSH level is high at 15.9 normal is 10. This can cause ovarian reserve issues I guess. Follicle count is normally 10-20 and I'm at an 8. They said this doesn't mean I can't get pregnant but we'll need to have aggressive treatment meaning skipping IUI and going straight to IVF. my thyroid is little bit low and might need to start taking Synthroid. We're waiting on the AMH results to see what I have left on my ovaries. This would be a concern if I were 35-40 but because I'm considered "young" we can get pregnant.

Re: FIRST RE LAB RESULTS!!!
Husband: 26 SA: normal
Me: 23 Low AMH and damaged ovaries due to chemotherapy.
No AF or O in 3 years. HSG showed a slight T shaped uterus.
High Risk OB 9/29- got the ok to get pregnant.
RE Appt: 10/28/ U/S showed follicles, but also small damaged ovaries.
B/W results CD0: all normal except low AMH at 1.3
Cycle 1-November (TI)- Femera 2.5mg, 2mg Estradoil, and Trigger=BFN
Cycle 2-December (TI)- Femera 2.5 mg ,4mg Estradoil, and Trigger= No O
Cycle 3-January (TI)- Femera 5 mg, 2mg Estradoil, and Trigger=
That is a lot to swallow in one go, but don't get discouraged. If your doc thinks IVF might work, trust that he/she knows what they are talking about. IF can seem like a life sentence sometimes, but there are too many variables to lose hope. Good luck!

I'm late here, but I just wanted to poke in and say hello and I'm sorry for your struggles. Getting bits and pieces of test results at a time can sometimes raise more questions and worry than relief. Do you have a follow up appointment scheduled with the RE? I know it is so difficult, but its usually best to wait until that follow up to try to figure out your predicted success rate because you'll have the whole picture. IVF is used for so many women with such varying diagnoses and test results so it can be difficult to generalize those success rates to your exact situation.
Hugs to you! It sucks to finally get the IF "stamp", but we're all here for you.
Me: 28 MH:35
