I'm about to do my first IVF cycle and I'm really nervous. So I thought I would post here because you will understand me and also I can keep updating you if it's a success story. ❤️
I'm 39yo, TTC since 1,5 year.
Last year I got the diagnosis of DOR in June (AMH 0,41 last year, this month 0,47), and the diagnosis of Ashermans in July. Had saline in July, two hysterectomies (August and October), one failed IUI in February this year.
I sadly still have Ashermans on my cervix so the chances are low of conceiving naturally. I was a bit against the whole IFV because I was scared about investing so much time and energy and money and going out empty handed. But I have a colleague that suggested the NC IFV and I talked to my provider and we decided to try.
I'm triggering tonight, with a 17mm follicle and 6,3mm endometrium, trilaminar. No male factor.
I'm hoping so badly I'll have good news for you on Friday (my clinic isn't open on the weekend, so if we manage to make one embryo, it will be transferred on Friday).
So cross your fingers for me. I've been reading silently your stories and rooting for you since my diagnosis last year. I admire your strength and perseverance and motivation to carry on.
Thank you for sharing your journey and motivating me to keep trying!
Side note: I'm a midwife and I work with pregnant women all the time. I know all the risks. I know the percentages, I know the probabilities. I have another colleague that's going through ICSI and lost her pregnancy on the 8th week and needs to start all over again because there's no embryos left. It's a hard journey and having this sub to read makes it feel less lonely. ❤️
I'll update when I have more news and can share the protocols and vitamins I took beforehand. :)
