@twomommiestobe if I remember correctly, did you say you were diagnosed with GD (if so, what was your value?) or was it just high bp? I could be thinking of someone else. Regardless, I hope you're feeling well.
I just heard from my doc that I failed my 1hr GT & have to move onto the 3hr. My value was 154 & should be under 130. Boooo.
Yes I have GD.
My 1 hour was 201. Most Drs will automatically diagnose you with GD with 200 or higher, but mine wanted to do the 3 hour test anyway.
When is your 3 hour? Please send me a PM any time with any questions you may have. It was so hard emotionally to accept the diagnosis. I cried SO much. I felt so bitter that we had gone through so much to get here and then there was just one more thing going wrong. I am doing much better now emotionally. I really hope you pass the 3 hour!
Did you eat beforehand? Sometimes if you eat something for breakfast that you shouldn't have, you might have numbers a little high and then pass the other test.
RE DX for me: Anovulatory cycles/Mild PCOS RE DX for DW: Endometrioma on left Ovary. Reciprocal Ivf Feb 2016. DW eggs and I am carrying. EDD: 10/27/16
Hello! New to this thread but had a question to run by you all! My first RE said that at 1.86 my AMH is normal for my age group (27 years old). I failed my first IVF cycle with low fert rate and slow growers and had 10 eggs retrieved. He considered 10 to be normal for my age group and a perfect number. My new RE broke it down to me that my AMH is very low for my age and the reason why my fert rate was so poor and that for my age I should have expected 20 follicles and 20 eggs retrieved. I'm so confused by these opposing opinions. Can you all let me know what you think makes more sense based on your own experience? Up until today, j thought my husbands poor morph was the reason we're infertile but my new RE all but blames me entirely today...
@twomommiestobe thanks for getting back to me. I actually fasted 12 hours and only drank water after 9pm but it was still a little elevated. I did fail years ago with DD and passed the 3hr test. I'll go back on Tuesday and will def keep you posted!
@mous sorry you find yourself here, but welcome! At 28 years old my AMH was significantly lower than yours @ 0.5. I believe your AMH is much higher than most of us in this thread. I only had 6 eggs retrieved. IF can be confusing and info varies between doc's. Hope you can find some comfort here in this thread.

Sorry you find yourself here but honestly your AMH is so much higher that I don't think you have anything to worry about. Remember it's quality over quantity. That's something your doctor should be telling you and give you hope. Best of luck!

I went for my baseline today. I have 5 follicles. I was disappointed that this is the lowest we've ever started with since I've been supplementing; however, I decided 5 was a great number. I was busy grading literally hundreds of tests when I took a break to get on Facebook and saw in under a minute, 2 pregnancy announcements. I don't begrudge anyone a child, but it hit me hard. I know you all understand. I just wish I knew if we would ultimately be successful. I know that's what faith is all about, but I'm running low on it at the moment.

@Kp214 Let me first off say I know how hard this whole process is for you. Secondly I went off fb for five whole months. While it was hard in the beginning after three weeks it was so much easier and better. No kiddy pics, no announcements of pregnancy or births or anything. No drama no politics, no racism. It was actually nice. I'm back on and honestly I'm not sure if I'm going to stay on, only thing good about it was to keep up with close friends and family. Try to stay positive, maybe even off of FB for a bit so you can concentrate on you! Xoxo

@kp214 what stem day are you in? Is one side producing more then other? Obviously i completely know how you feel!! Lets believe its quality over quantity and these will all be your grade As FB is a tricky one, seeing all the first day pics from so many friends was a bit overwhelming too. Stepping away might make you feel better and thats whats most important. I almost keep up more on here as you ladies understand how taxing this process is. I just can't get into it with friends and rather not chat at all. Is your dr changing ur meds?
@LSatturo126 yum i could go for one of those pops!! I can tell that you have definitely made these before, they must look fabulous! I hope everyone will appreciate them and enjoy them at the shower!! Hope those lil beans are making a new home
capps42613 hoping you're doing ok and your 3hr test comes up with better results for you!! I'm sure you must be nervous so try to stay calm!!
wenikilina thrilled to hear your lil ones are doing well, thats great news!! I"m getting nervous and just hoping my body will be ready to go soon. All these meds kicked my butt this cycle, i'm still so bloated!!!
Mous welcome, and sorry you have to be here. I will say the ladies on this thread are amazing and help a scary time be a bit less scary...especially since quite a few now have been through the experience with some successes i might add PLEASE do not even think for a bit that its entirely your fault AT ALL!!! you need to stop thinking of that right now. My specialist said AMH lower then a 1 is when you first need to have concern so really that doesn't seem to be you. I would love those numbers. My AMH is .3 not that my misfortune should make you feel better BUT my specialist wouldn't actually diagnose you with DOR from those AMH levels. Out of the 10 eggs did any of them fertilize? were any of the icsi? My dr was hoping to get 10 from me and i only ended up with maybe 4, as we cancelled the cycle before my retrieval to know for sure. Next cycle i will chat with my ovaries a bit more and hope to get them on the same page. best of luck to u!

@elisam511 Just watched your videos, they were great thank you for posting! This journey is so difficult and like you said it's nice to be reminded that we are not alone. I became an independent consultant too for another company during my infertility process but mostly to have an extra thing to focus my time on. I hope you have success on your first IVF!
@LSatturo126 3 days is definitely too early! Fingers crossed for a positive test for you in a few days!
@Hoping4Success good luck at your follicle check on Tuesday! Hoping they give you good news!
@hoping4sucess I am okay, thanks. I took this month off and then hoping to start the next round in a few weeks if all goes well!
I need opinions on PGS testing with a low amh: My last IVF cycle failed and I had 4 eggs retrieved, 3 fertilized naturally, all 3 made it to Day 5. One was graded poor (did not make it to freeze) and 2 were rated as good quality. They transferred the 2 good quality ones and I ended up with a BFN. My RE is now pushing for PGS testing which will cost about $5,000. We do not have that much available so we would end up needing to borrow it. My husband is very opposed to it but I am trying to get as much information as possible to make an educated decision. I completely understand the benefits of PGS if we had extra embryos to test. However, I am really struggling to understand what benefit there is if I only get enough to be transferred again and my body can just figure it out. My RE said there is a chance we could get more eggs in a different cycle, but could only see 8 at the most and even that would be really lucky. I feel like I will be equally as crushed getting a BFN as if the PGS testing comes back that none of the embryos are normal and not have to lose all that money. The only positive I could think of is that if I don't make it to transfer with the PGS testing I can jump back in next cycle instead of needing to wait again. What are your thoughts?
@Stars2016 as you know we have had a bfn back in February and did not do the testing. After that bfn we decided we will test this way it's not wasting our money with transferring something that isn't viable. We did three more Retreivals and at the end of all testing had two healthy. Which we just transfered last Tuesday. We will find out on Thursday if any stuck. Once I get those results I'll let you know. It does give you some hope of sticking as the odds are better with pgs tested embryos. The 5k should be good up to 10 embryos in however long it takes you to get them right? For us we were able to get 5 tested in those three retrievals. If this doesn't work we will try again in a year and have up to 5 more embryos to test again. So it's almost paying 500 an embryo. The bright side of testing at least you won't have to go through transfer and tww if there are no healthy embryos and you'll save money. Hope that sort of helps.

@Stars2016 what plan did your RE put you on financial-wise? There are some 'packages' that do include the PGS testing. If you're looking for opinions, I can tell you that my husband was also very opposed to it, but I have to side with @LSatturo126 ... You don't want to waste your money transferring something that isn't viable. I'm sorry you're in this situation and I'm sending you so much love and happy thoughts! It is SO much money for all of this, and it is frustrating to think that so many people are getting pregnant for free and with minimal effort..... Still, you gotta stay positive!

@Stars2016 I think some places let you send in embryos from different retrievals, up to 8 total. That's what my re said Wednesday since we are thinking of embryo banking. ****tw****after my cp in January, I do not want to go through that again if I can help it. We have since learned that there are egg issues as well as mfi, so we want to do pgs testing. We plan to let the embryos grow to day 5, which my re says is like a poor man's genetic test, biopsy any that make it, and freeze any that are good enough to freeze. If they aren't good enough to freeze, we think we will put them back in. I just hope to have some make it to day 5.

I did with cheap expired strips today but it was negative and it's only 5pt. Went to CVS today and bought first response 6 days sooner, since they didn't have ept. So I'm gonna test tomorrow which will be 6dpt. I've been feeling so fatigued all the time since the transfer and bloated in my belly like I ate way too much even though I didn't eat a lot lol. Praying these are good signs.

I have been lurking on this thread for a very long time. I have loved reading all the stories. I first joined in February, but took at break after my last IUI in May/June.
@Lsatturo126 - I so don't want to be creepy, but I have been reading this thread for a while and following your journey. Best of luck to you and I keep checking in to see how things are progressing. GL
Since, I decided to join in, here's a little about me.
DH and I have been married since May 2012 TTC since 8.14.
***TW***
Natural BFP in March of 2015, ended in miscarriage at 9 wks. D&C in April 2015. After months of TTC after that, I was unsuccessful. Went to the OB/GYN and found out my AMH was .27 around x-mas. Lots of tears shed, as my OB didn't even tell me what that meant, I had to research it on google before a doc would actually call me back. (They posted my results on a portal). My friend was all having issue with IF and recommended I see her RE. 1st apt with RE in Jan and you will see from my signature I have done 3 rounds of IUI.
I am now doing my first(and only) round of IVF as we are OOP like so many others on here. My AMH has since gone up to 1.3, 1.47 and this last test came in at 2.3. I am hopeful that all the meds, COQ10, DHEA, ACAI, Vitamin D, pre-natal and acupuncture 2xweek since January has really paid off.
I will continue to follow your journey and have loved reading all these threads and has helped me so much.
Best of luck ladies, I recognize you from some of the other boards.
@Jsmorrissey First off I'm sorry for your loss and for you having to be here. Secondly thanks and you lurking for all these months are not creepy at all. I'm sure there are dozens who read and don't want to talk etc, I'm just loud and an open book so it's natural for me to talk about things. Third, crossing fingers for you that this round of IVF works for you. Your AMH levels sound so fantastic. All your hard work and determination definitely paid off. Best of luck!

@LSatturo126 hoping ur symptoms continue!!! Good luck in the am!! It's so early some people really don't get positive till 14 days please give it a chance!!! How did the shower go? I'm sure the pops were a success!!
***update*** AF arrived on time first time in months I didn't cry getting it. Today was us and I was extremely nervous and upset as I already have follies, the right side woke up now with about 3 small ones and one larger one at 12. Left side now has 1 large at 12 and one smaller. I thought I was done and we wouldn't start stemming. I think it's crazy that I have all Thai going on and after 3 days of taking drugs last cycle I got the same. I guessed and drove the nurse batty as I wouldn't know anything till the blood work came in, so needless to say my Sunday sucked with worry.
i didn't think it was going to happen but I got the call and as of now day 1 shots are done. My estrogen came in low at 50 and dr thought it would be worth it to start. I was very nervous and chatted a bunch with the ivf nurse on all the what ifs as we guessed at my blood work. At first the nurse suggested maybe bcp and I said no way!!! For me that's not an option with my low AMH and the issues I'm already having I don't see how it can help. I kno to trust the dr but glad we were on the same page. And I thank all of u for sharing ur thoughts and info!! my protocol and dose is starting out much higher this round, at least for the me your, which I hope is a good thing!! So I'm really hoping for the best especially since this is the first day and I already have something. Microdose lupron 10ml morning and night /Gonal F 300/Menopur 300. Fx this will be what I need.
@kp214 ok so ur like me and started off with follis before meds? I can't tell u how upset I was this am thinking I was out....I kno this is only the beginning and nervous I will just have to 2 so really hoping these meds will work some magic. I first do this protocol for 3 days, so I don't go bac till wed woo hoo!!! I hate going everyday!
im so HOT!! This is a side effect from the meds right?
Move been racking my brain on Pgs as well but right now I need to focus that I get enough eggs so that's even an option. It's hard and I get the pros and cons on both!!! As of right now I want to do a fresh transfer ASAP so we shall see.....

@LSatturo126 Congratulations!!!! I am so incredibly happy for you!!
Thank you so much for all of the advice on PGS testing! I am going to sit down with my husband tonight and make a final decision with him. After your input (and results) I'm really going to push to do it.
@Hopeful_mom hang in there. It is good you were able to start this cycle. The smaller ones may catch up. I go for blood work today, so we will see how I stand this cycle. I'm afraid I may ovulate early.

Did everyone do regular or ICSI? AND which way had more success? I know with usually male fertility they do ICSI and maybe because of my age as well. Anyone can share your numbers? Since last round I might have been lucky enough to have only 4 eggs, do i do 1/2? My RE did suggest it but we're also going to need to see what the sample shows as well. Any info anyone would like to share is appreciated!!!

Our RE only does icsi with frozen sperm. I am not sure if that is just our Dr or if that is the usual.

Re: Low AMH Level
My 1 hour was 201. Most Drs will automatically diagnose you with GD with 200 or higher, but mine wanted to do the 3 hour test anyway.
When is your 3 hour? Please send me a PM any time with any questions you may have. It was so hard emotionally to accept the diagnosis. I cried SO much. I felt so bitter that we had gone through so much to get here and then there was just one more thing going wrong. I am doing much better now emotionally. I really hope you pass the 3 hour!
Did you eat beforehand? Sometimes if you eat something for breakfast that you shouldn't have, you might have numbers a little high and then pass the other test.

3rd cycle on Letrozole but did our 2nd IUI on 07/01/16. 10 mg CD 3-11 + Ovidrel = BFN
Onto IVF! Started Lupron on 09/24. Added Gonal F and hcg injections 09/26...... Trigger 10/07. EggRetrieval 10/09. Starting PIO, Estrace, and Medrol 10/10/16. Transferred 2 "strong/beautiful" embryos 10/14/16. Beta 10/28/16 = 998 mIU/mL = BFP with one baby, but miscarried at 9w5d.
D&C on 12/06/17 and started taking BCPs 01/10/17 for the next IVF Cycle, which officially began stims on 02/18/17.
Fast Forward: we got 4 fertilized embryos from that cycle. Transferred one fresh, but it did not stick, so we have 3 frozen embryos currently. Went in to the fertility clinic in July to talk about a FET of one of those three frozen embryos, but a new fibroid was discovered, and I was not cleared to do the transfer until I had fibroid removal surgery.
08/11/17 had a mini-laparotomy / myomectomy to remove 6 fibroids, largest sized were the size of golf-balls! Once we were cleared to go about our normal lives (sex!) I got pregnant NATURALLY but it was a chemical pregnancy. The very next month we had another BFP and here we are now with a baby on the way! A TOTAL AND COMPLETE MIRACLE!

@LSatturo126 3 days is definitely too early! Fingers crossed for a positive test for you in a few days!
@Hoping4Success good luck at your follicle check on Tuesday! Hoping they give you good news!
I need opinions on PGS testing with a low amh:
My last IVF cycle failed and I had 4 eggs retrieved, 3 fertilized naturally, all 3 made it to Day 5. One was graded poor (did not make it to freeze) and 2 were rated as good quality. They transferred the 2 good quality ones and I ended up with a BFN. My RE is now pushing for PGS testing which will cost about $5,000. We do not have that much available so we would end up needing to borrow it. My husband is very opposed to it but I am trying to get as much information as possible to make an educated decision. I completely understand the benefits of PGS if we had extra embryos to test. However, I am really struggling to understand what benefit there is if I only get enough to be transferred again and my body can just figure it out. My RE said there is a chance we could get more eggs in a different cycle, but could only see 8 at the most and even that would be really lucky. I feel like I will be equally as crushed getting a BFN as if the PGS testing comes back that none of the embryos are normal and not have to lose all that money. The only positive I could think of is that if I don't make it to transfer with the PGS testing I can jump back in next cycle instead of needing to wait again. What are your thoughts?

Hi Ladies,
I have been lurking on this thread for a very long time. I have loved reading all the stories. I first joined in February, but took at break after my last IUI in May/June.
@Lsatturo126 - I so don't want to be creepy, but I have been reading this thread for a while and following your journey. Best of luck to you and I keep checking in to see how things are progressing. GL
Since, I decided to join in, here's a little about me.
DH and I have been married since May 2012 TTC since 8.14.
***TW***
Natural BFP in March of 2015, ended in miscarriage at 9 wks. D&C in April 2015. After months of TTC after that, I was unsuccessful. Went to the OB/GYN and found out my AMH was .27 around x-mas. Lots of tears shed, as my OB didn't even tell me what that meant, I had to research it on google before a doc would actually call me back. (They posted my results on a portal). My friend was all having issue with IF and recommended I see her RE. 1st apt with RE in Jan and you will see from my signature I have done 3 rounds of IUI.
I am now doing my first(and only) round of IVF as we are OOP like so many others on here. My AMH has since gone up to 1.3, 1.47 and this last test came in at 2.3. I am hopeful that all the meds, COQ10, DHEA, ACAI, Vitamin D, pre-natal and acupuncture 2xweek since January has really paid off.
I will continue to follow your journey and have loved reading all these threads and has helped me so much.
Best of luck ladies, I recognize you from some of the other boards.

***update***
AF arrived on time first time in months I didn't cry getting it. Today was us and I was extremely nervous and upset as I already have follies, the right side woke up now with about 3 small
ones and one larger one at 12. Left side now has 1 large at 12 and one smaller. I thought I was done and we wouldn't start stemming. I think it's crazy that I have all Thai going on and after 3 days of taking drugs last cycle I got the same. I guessed and drove the nurse batty as I wouldn't know anything till the blood work came in, so needless to say my Sunday sucked with worry.
i didn't think it was going to happen but I got the call and as of now day 1 shots are done. My estrogen came in low at 50 and dr thought it would be worth it to start. I was very nervous and chatted a bunch with the ivf nurse on all the what ifs as we guessed at my blood work. At first the nurse suggested maybe bcp and I said no way!!! For me that's not an option with my low AMH and the issues I'm already having I don't see how it can help. I kno to trust the dr but glad we were on the same page. And I thank all of u for sharing ur thoughts and info!!
my protocol and dose is starting out much higher this round, at least for the me your, which I hope is a good thing!! So I'm really hoping for the best especially since this is the first day and I already have something. Microdose lupron 10ml morning and night /Gonal F 300/Menopur 300. Fx this will be what I need.
@kp214 ok so ur like me and started off with follis before meds? I can't tell u how upset I was this am thinking I was out....I kno this is only the beginning and nervous I will just have to 2 so really hoping these meds will work some magic. I first do this protocol for 3 days, so I don't go bac till wed woo hoo!!! I hate going everyday!
im so HOT!! This is a side effect from the meds right?
Move been racking my brain on Pgs as well but right now I need to focus that I get enough eggs so that's even an option. It's hard and I get the pros and cons on both!!! As of right now I want to do a fresh transfer ASAP so we shall see.....

Thank you so much for all of the advice on PGS testing! I am going to sit down with my husband tonight and make a final decision with him. After your input (and results) I'm really going to push to do it.
@Hopeful_mom hang in there. It is good you were able to start this cycle. The smaller ones may catch up. I go for blood work today, so we will see how I stand this cycle. I'm afraid I may ovulate early.

Did everyone do regular or ICSI? AND which way had more success? I know with usually male fertility they do ICSI and maybe because of my age as well. Anyone can share your numbers? Since last round I might have been lucky enough to have only 4 eggs, do i do 1/2? My RE did suggest it but we're also going to need to see what the sample shows as well. Any info anyone would like to share is appreciated!!!

In 2015 I was 35...Found out I had only one working ovary, which was DOR, with scar tissue and I ovulated at 7 days, with a small cervix opening and a tilted uterus...
