hi all! After a couple weeks of lurking I decided I'd come out and introduce myself. I work in retail management and DH and I have 2 fur babies together and he has a*TW* 9 year old stepson that we have half custody of. DH works in news journalism and we live in MI.
DH and I recently started going to a RE (DH had a vasectomy 8 years ago from a pervious marriage {ex wife was allergic to latex}) so we knew we needed help. We're both 31, and I went through infertility struggles with my ex-husband 7 years ago that lasted 3 years. We did 3 IUI's with clomid, all BFNs; he had low count and low morph, although at that time nothing was wrong with me. Now, I have been diagnosed with a slow working thyroid (currently on synthroid for that) and got my blood work back today that says my AMH is 1.4. I know Dr. Google says it's on the low side of normal. Any ideas?
Today is CD 1 and I'm going to be starting birth control pills to start IVF-ICSI. I'm nervous, but I'm strong. Just thought I would make conversation with some women going through the same thing. Thanks ladies for any feedback you may have!
