Can this actually be happening? My IVF cycle was cancelled as my follicles didn’t get over 11mm (all 7 of them) by day 10 & consultant said he expected as much with an AMH of 2.0 following surgery on my ovaries to remove large endometriomas. They gave me an IUI instead but it was never going to work with 11mm follicles, even with a trigger shot.
I met with my endo surgeon couple weeks later for a check up on endo & explained I’m just going straight to donor eggs, no more messing around. She seemed shocked & said I still think you can do this naturally. She explained she’s the one who has seen what’s going on in there & that everything is perfect apart from now only having 7 follicles. (Only 🙈)
She said stop thinking about how many follicles you have as you only need to worry about that when doing IVF; naturally you only need one of those she said! An IVF nurse also advised to stop putting my legs up after sex as my cervix is in a certain position that meant if I tilted up and lifted my legs, the cervix would no longer be sat in a pool of sperm.
I truly think my surgeon’s comments somehow changed my mindset & allowed my mind to convince my body that I could do it naturally. Next ovulation we only had chance to have sex once (all other cycles we have done it every other day). One time!!! And here I am at 13dpo with a positive test. The mind is a very powerful thing.
Still in shock & I’m aware of how ridiculously early this is but at least I know that things are actually working in there!! I was just about to organise a very expensive round of IVF with donor eggs. That is now on hold, stick little one... stick!!!
