Struggling today!

[LittleMermaid1]

Hey ladies,

I’m currently on first round of IVF and have baseline scan tomorrow.

I’m feeling really anxious as have been reading lots of stats and I’m starting to convince myself that it’s all not going to work.

I’m 40 with AMH level 6.2 so running out of time and eggs!! We’ve conceived naturally twice last year but both ended in miscarriage around 10 weeks. No other issues that we’re aware of.

Found out this week 2 close family members are pregnant. Delighted for them but wishing it was us. Then feeling guilty about feeling envious!!

Just really looking for words of encouragement / advice from anyone out there with success stories ❤️

Hi! Just wanted to reach out to you.

I'm 33 with the same AMH level. We have also had repeated loss (four, two of which are ectopics and I don't have any fallopian tubes left as a result).

I have a friend who had an amh of under 1. Today she has twin boys.

It IS possible.

I hope your baseline scan goes well. You'll find a lot of support here as well as Instagram, if you have an account. Instagram and the infertility community there has been a massive support to me.

If you haven't done all the tests on your other half, such as a sperm dna fragmentation or sperm antibodies test, I'd suggest you look into those.

We also had recurrent miscarriage testing done. If you want the names of the tests, I can look them up and send them to you.

Sending you all my support,

X

Thanks so much for your reply. That’s so encouraging that your friend had twins with such a low AMH. That sure does give me hope. Thank you ❤️

When my husbands sperm was tested they said it was all fine but I’m not quite sure what tests were done.

We did have recurrent miscarriage tests done and were told nothing untoward was detected. Which I suppose is good but still doesn’t give you a reason why it keeps happening. I suppose we may never know and just need to keep trying.

Thanks again. Sending baby dust to you xx

Hi LittleMermaid!

I don’t have my success story (yet) but have a great inspiration from a friend who was struggling to conceive and had a couple of miscarriages and failed ivf with no further egg reserve to continue trying - all heartbreaking. Then one day when all Hope was gone and she had to come to terms that it was not going to happen for them here it came a beautiful miracle baby who now has a magical smile 😊

So please do not lose hope, miracles happen! Try not to stress too much about statistics and numbers. I know it’s hard but just try.

Good luck xx

Wow, that’s such a great story re your friend. So glad she got her little miracle. Im hopeful we will to. Fingers crossed! Just trying to take each step at a time but it’s really hard sometimes as I’m sure you will know. But words like these really do help, so thank you ❤️ Wishing you the best of luck for your journey too xx
