Bad news at the follow-up with the RE yesterday. Turns out that I have a low AMH and high FSH- both of those things are not good. AMH determines how many reserve follicles you have, FSH determines how well you might respond to treatment. The doctor said that even with IVF I have only a 10-20% chance of it working.
I'm not an optimist by nature. Those are really shitty odds, people. I'm only going to get one shot at this because we are doing this on a shoestring to start and after 1 cycle, my insurance will run out. I have to admit that this has really thrown me for a loop.
So sorry to hear this. I don't know what else to say. 10-20% odds are not 0%. But IVF is a lot to go through for smaller odds of the desired outcome. It sucks how much the financial/insurance piece affects our abilities to try for the families we would like to have.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that you got some not so positive news. :( Hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh, boy. I'm so sorry. I hate the crapshoot of fertility.
ReplyDeleteSorry abou this news. I'm all too familiar with this kind of thing. If you go through with an IVF, maybe consider one of the places that specialize in high fsh/low amh? SIRM is one of the closest. I'd see if they take your insurance and if they do, it couldn't hurt to talk to them. Another thing to think about is acupuncture. A bunch of online friends have lowered their fsh with acu and tcm. Whatever you decide to do I'm thinking of you and sending good thoughts.
