ttc update

Nope not pregnant.... yet, but thought I would update.... I did finally see an RE last month.did blood work and all came back normal except my ovaian reserve ;-( At only 24yo I have low ovarian reserve 8-( its 0.9 and for my age should be around 1.5+ I had a hsg which hurt like a mutha! That showed that my tubes were both open though one side was very slow to fill and thicker than the other. I also have adhesions which they say are from my c-section. Needless to say I was devastated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We took a month off everything d/t a residual follicle that as at the wrong place at the wrong time basically. So this cycle we had a game plan in place. I took clomid 100mg cd3-7 and have a sonogram on cd9(Fri) which showed TWO follicles. One was perfect measuring a 20 and the other slightly smaller at 16/17. I took the trigger shot that night. Yesterday I had slight pain on my L side and today has been more severe cramping on my R side. I am praying for 1 miracle though 2 would be just as amazing!!!! D/t my low reserve and us wanting 2 more children to make 3 she said after we had baby #2 to come right back to get pregnant with baby #3. Time is most definitely NOT on my side :-( she wanted ivf but they all push that for the $ but once she knew we would never do ivf (for multiple reasons) she said that she thought I could get pg on my own with some help. We will try this method (clomid+trigger shot+timed intercourse) for a couple of months and if no bfp then move to IUI. I pray this is our month!!!! Please pray or send positive energy, mojo....whatever our way! We did BD 2 Fri and today and will again tonight and on Tuesday for good measure. I want to believe that this cycle will b our bfp cycle!

Melanie,

I am keeping you in my prayers Cheri

Thank you! I appreciate it!!!!! 8-) How are you feeling? Have you had an ultrasound yet?

Not yet, April 9th!

I am loosing weight, no appetite trying to stay hydrated.

 

Wow! I thought it would be sooner! I would be going crazy lol! Have you lost a lot? Hope things settle down and your able to tolerate food better soon! :)

If you don't have luck with Clomid, try Femara... it is what worked for us. Prayers coming your way.

Thank you! I asked my RE about it and she said she wanted me to stay in clomid since I responded to the 100mg. I responded this cycle and had Two follicles ready to go :-) praying that at least one gets fertilized!!!!! Ekkk so excited, I know I shouldn't get my hopes up but I can't help it :-)

Good luck!  At least your armed with knowledge of the situation, imagine the boat you'd be in if you'd waited to have kids in your 30's!  Fingers crossed for you!

Thank you! I know, thank goodness I am proactive and not just a sit and "let's wait" type. My mom went through menopause early, in fact right after I was born, she was 36/37. I KNEW, I just knew I had a low reserve. I told my hubby right before the appointment, he couldn't believe I was right. I washoping to be wrong, but like you said, I am now armed with knowledge. Praying a bfp is 12 days away!!!!!!!! :-)
