Hello All.
So approximately nine years ago I fell pregnant twice and had two miscarriages. We then went onto IVF treatment. First cycle was abandoned due to my body not responding, second treatment worked with a flash cycle and now have a adorable nearly four year old boy..
I am 41 now and we would love a brother or sister for him to grow up with.
So we started trying again approximately two years ago to see if we had any luck naturally = Not successful.
Made an appointment with our IVF clinic. Turns out my amh is extremely low ( 0.9,) get told its highly unlikely Ill fall pregnant through IVF. So we pushed for a cycle and yes there was only two follicles, which they advised us to abandon the cycle as its highly unlikely to have no eggs inside.. We pushed them to go ahead, as you never no hey. Went to egg collection, could only retrieve one which was empty and the other was too awkward for them to collect. Went home devastated.
After getting it together we wanted to try one more time but they basically said go on a holiday.. Please don't get me wrong they were all really really lovely staff...but in my head it only takes one....
We thought we would get a second opinion and they said the same. It was suggested that we could try Natural IVF or Egg donation.
So anyway we thought we would try the Natural Ivf cycle.
Just whilst thinking about going ahead with a Natural IVF cycle, low and behold I fall pregnant naturally which sadly ends in a miscarriage, so at this point we are thinking lets see if I fall pregnant again naturally, but the question is why do I loss my natural pregnancies but my IVF pregnancy stuck.?
I have some crazy thoughts that its to do with the progesterone that I took after the egg was put back... Am I crazy in thinking this is possible?
Anyway six months on I fall pregnant again. So was straight to the doctors to see if I could take progesterone which was agreed so I took them. I sadly miscarried this one too and yes people probably think ,ah the progesterone never worked then, my argument is that I didn't start it until about fourteen days after my period so that may have been two weeks late .... I'm probably thinking and talking nonsense but something is telling me that IVF is the way forward and that the medication gears my body up for a pregnancy... Even my husband doesn't agree with me. Please help I'm going crazy LOL xx
Has anyone fell pregnant with IVF with an extremely low AMH and over 40 years old... I think I already know the answer but would just like to check..
Thank you for reading my post and please don't get me wrong we are so lucky in having our little boy so I hope I don't upset anyone with this.
xx
