Trouble TTC

I am sure you ladies are nice but I don't want to be here...

I am new to this board... I recently joined the TTC after 35 board but after my most recent test results I belong here. I am 37 DH is also 37. We are TTC#1 on 6th cycle. Husbands sperm is ok but I have low/bad eggs, I guess. The doc I am seeing currently is an OB not a specialist but he had me do an Ovarian Assessment Report (OAR) and here are the results. Anyone else familiar with this type of test? Or have input? He said that he'd like to start me on Femara and then proceed down the line to IUI, then trigger shots with IUI, and then IVF. I am so very sad about this test result and and feeling like my body has betrayed me. I know I am on the new end of dealing with this but I hope I can give/receive support through my/and your process.

Re: I am sure you ladies are nice but I don't want to be here...

  • I'm very sorry you find yourself here, but welcome.  I second what PPs have said - definitely get yourself to an RE.  There are other tests you should have, if you haven't already, including the HSG and SA for your husband before deciding on any treatment plan.

    Good luck!

    Me: 31 (PCOS) possible right tube issues DH: 36 (SA normal) 
    Started dating in 2006, Married 2012 
    TTC since November 2013 
    First RE visit due to irregular periods: June 2014
    Lap/Hysto to remove polyps, cyst and tube blockage 11/6
    Cycle 1 (Dec. 2014) TI with Clomid, Trigger, & Progesterone CX due to no response
    Impatiently Waiting CD1 to try again with Fermara Back on the bench due to giant cyst,
    who know I'd ovulate on my own after a cancelled cycle and end up with a mega cyst :(
    All Welcome

  • Sorry that you find yourself here. I agree with PP you should definitely move to a RE rather than an OB. I have never seen the test that you added but your AMH is low and some other values that were listed seem off, but I am not an expert by any means, but I also do have low AMH. I think that if I were in your shoes I would take those reports and schedule a RE consult. I know it is overwhelming to think that your body is not doing what it is supposed to, we all understand that.  It is hard to deal with the results of tests but moving to a RE will give you the best chances. Good luck!

    @Rainbowbridge14, @SND1231, and  @shafwilson,   I have had an HSG and everything was open. Husband had a SA and the numbers looked ok... Thank you @nariadreaming for your suggestion - I am googling RE's now 

    Thank y'all for the supportive suggestions!

  • Welcome, though I'm sorry you have to be here. 

    Congrats on a clear HSG and a good SA! :)


    TIme for an RE! I would not want to put that off and then find out the OB had missed something or wasted cycles with an AMA patient.

  • Welcome and I am sorry you have to be here. I am going to echo what the other ladies are saying, do NOT go see an OB for fertility related things. Especially for treatment. 
    Me: 25 Dh: 25 Married since July, 2011
    Diagnosed with PCOS 2010
    TTC since December, 2011 (SA is Normal)
    2012-tried natural w/Metformin 1500 mg

    1/13: Clomid 50 mg - No response
    2/13: Clomid 100 mg O'd BFN
    3/13: Clomid 100 MG O'd BFN
    4/13-6/13: Clomid 150/200 mg O'd BFN 
    Stopped treatment because of money issues and began to try naturally again from June-October 2013
    Benched until November 2014 - Started seeing RE, discovered that lining was very thin
    November 2014: Started Femera 5 mg -No response BFN >:(
    December 2014: Upping Femera, injectables are the next step if I respond 
    Also: Changed RE, first appointment on Friday, so treatment is subject to change this month

  • I agree with the RE route, especially if you have a choice! Lol I'm new on the boards as well and with the info i have been given in the very short time I've been here, i feel like things wouldn't have been moving along the way they are if it wasn't for me being here. These ladies definitely know their stuff! Seeing an OB would probably make your process longer than it would with an RE. And with IF the last thing we want to do is wait for something we have wanted for so long. Good luck and i hope your wont have to be here long! :-)
