@minimag I did, they did an ultrasound and an HSG with everything looking normal. Basically, the doctor said "the chances of you producing a good egg with the follicle count/amh level and him having a sperm that can "crack the egg" (due to his morphology ) are low"...I don't love this doctor lol

@katrina2017 Thank you for sharing! This is good advice, and definitely gives us a starting point for deciding where to draw a line. We will start working on a plan of action!

@blacksabbath Thank you for this! Super helpful!

Wow, thanks so much for the detailed response! I wasn't sure if my AMH was truly low (since I've seen it listed on the average range, albeit on the low side), or if it was just him being extreme, since he is very blunt. Early menopause? That's crazy! Thanks for letting me know to keep an eye...

@dusgfmo Thank you so much!!

@n2thelight Thank you so much! Do you mind sharing what your follicle count was? I believe they said mine was like 13?

@coolrosso Thanks so much for sharing!!! I posted my vitamin D level, as they did test that but didn't mention an issue. I do take Vitamin D supplements, so I feel like they're probably okay? Doc ruled out PCOS yesterday, based on the testings, HSG, ultrasound, etc...but I definitely wonder if...

@krython I just included his SA info, but if other info would be helpful, please let me know. I really appreciate it!!!

@s3anreilly Yes, my cycles had been irregular for about 8-9 months prior, suddenly after getting the COVID vaccine. OB thought it was worth looking into.

@mcg1102 This. Thank you! RE told us in no uncertain terms that we probably couldn't.

@mcg1102 Thank you for giving me hope! My husband trusts this Dr., because "his job is to get people pregnant, and this should get us pregnant"...but I definitely have some hesitations with the guy.

@dusgfmo I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to go through all of that. I appreciate you sharing your story and am definitely sending good vibes your way!

@dusgfmo I think the water ultrasound might be one of the only diagnostics that they didn't try! We did the HSG, but they never mentioned a water ultrasound. Out of curiosity, what made them think that you might be a better candidate for IUI as opposed to IVF? My doctor blew off the suggestion...

@rmakolomi Thanks for the ray of hope! I edited the post to include all of the results, but FSH was 6.01.

@commissionerfd1 Right. It could just be that the hypothyroidism happened to start messing with my cycle immediately after the COVID vaccine, despite having symptoms of hypothyroidism for almost a year at that point. Don't get me wrong, I'm pro-vaccine for COVID 100%! My doctors have said there...

@commissionerfd1 Thanks again. I know what you mean, I was confused about this myself...the numbers I gave were just the stats listed in FF. I'm wondering if a day of spotting confused the app and it assumed that was a period. I've only been able to confidently confirm ovulation a couple times...

@commissionerfd1 Thanks, that's helpful. So, I shouldn't be concerned that my cycles are often different lengths, with varying days of bleeding? My periods were 28 days with 5 days of bleeding without any breakthrough my entire life until COVID vaccine in April 2021 (hypothyroidism undiagnosed...

@ahcadvocacy Basically, my predictable, "normal" periods with a 28 day cycle turned into a 27-35 day cycle with breakthrough bleeding upon getting the vaccine. Obviously hypothyroidism (undiagnosed until a few months ago) could be at play also. I did have 1 month from 4/21-10/21 where I had no...

@ahcadvocacy Do we think it's possible that RE essentially ruled out spontaneous conception due to the fact that they only found 13 follicles? Thanks again for all the info!

@ahcadvocacy Thanks for your reply! I had been off of hbc for about 6 months when things went wonky. I got the COVID vaccine, didn't get a normal period again until fall, when I was also put on meds for hypothyroidism. I think the reason I was sent to RE is because there were a lot of...
