After being diagnosed with PCOS in 2021 after being on the pill for 18 years and not having a clue until we started trying for a family. We have gone through lots of investigations and drug trials which unfortunately never led to a pregnancy.
Then to fall miraculously pregnant naturally in October 2022 for it only to sadly end in a miscarriage.
We have had one round of IVF on the NHS and are so very lucky because where we live we are entitled to 3 NHS funded rounds.
Our first round we got two good quality blastocysts but unfortunately neither of them managed to implant so we are now waiting to start round number 2!
My AMH levels are crazily high (260) so my fertility clinic have to be very careful not to over stimulate my ovaries that could land me feeling very poorly and could be quite dangerous, so our first round was on a low dose of the stims injections which resulted in the retrieval of 6 eggs.
We're hoping for a bigger number of eggs on collection this time as my body handled the stim injections quite well so hopefully they can up the dose!
The thing we have found most difficult throughout is not the physical aspects of infertility, miscarriage, different medications and IVF it's the mental toll it takes and how increasingly difficult it is every time there Is heartbreak or failure or set backs it is to pick ourselves back up and charge forward. Sometimes it feels like 1 step forward a million steps back.
Our first round starts 30th December 🎉🎉 Advice needed
