To try naturally or not before IVF
Hi All, My status: Age 36, AMH <0.3. I am about to start on my IVF journey and wanted to check something:
- After my TFMR (Congenital heart defect in baby, no history on me or my partner's side) in Nov'25, I stared trying naturally from Feb'26. Didn't get a period in March,-ve pregnancy test ;had to take Dupahstan to induce periods.
Next, tried again in April'25, tested +ve in late April, had a chemical pregnancy which ended in 3 days (i had 2 faint lines which disappeared towards the ends). I see this as a +ve sign that my body is still working.
Started prepping for IVF , got my period in May and had a baseline scan which showed 16mm cyst, haemorrhagic. So, we are not doing the May ivf cycle.
My IVF Dr asked to do a scan to check for cyst on Day 21 of my May cycle and start birth control pill. She mentioned if cyst is there and if e2>50, we won't do the June cycle.
My Q: Due to low AMH, I don't want to miss any cycle . Should i continue trying naturally in May before IVF in june? The Doc mentioned taking BCP from Day 21 of my cycle. How can this impact things? Is there any way I can continue trying naturally while waiting for my ivf to start. Kindly advice.
