Well Lady Friends of the TTC,
The news is not good.
The RE thinks based on my FSH level, it was 19 on day 10 of my cycle that my eggs of dying in mass and at a much quicker rate than normal for someone who is 36. I might be premenopausal. She is running more tests, including hormonal work ups, a clomid challenge test and a bunch of other stuff that required 12 tubes of blood.
On Friday, assuming the blood work shows I'm not pregnant. (A waste of a test if you ask me.) I'll start Provera to bring on AF.
Followed by bloodwork on day 3 of cycle to check the FSH to cement the fact that my eggs are committing bulk suicide.
Followed by the clomid challenge on day 6. (Really, who comes up with these things? It's literally called the "clomid challenge"!)
After likely failing the clomid challenge, and the whole FSH thing, my only option is IVF. Someone my age who they can regulate ovulation for and whose eggs aren't doing the death march has a 50% to 60% success rate. Someone in my likely shoes has a 20% to 25% success rate.
If my day 3 FSH is less than 14 the RE wants to go with clomid and IUI combo (after the HGS test to see if my tubes are blocked) if unsuccessful the IVF. This would be the best case scenario.
The slightly sunny spot in this is that my insurance just about covers EVERYTHING. We're talking unlimited IUIs, meds, but they have to be mail order I think, 6 cycles of IVF, freezing embryos for 2 years, embryo transfers etc, donor eggs and donor services too. The only thing not covered is a surrogate.
They do require pre-certification and proof of documented infertility which I have from my GYN and they will submit all paperwork.
The RE was great, really great. I can't say enough good things about the place; professional, nice, empathetic, explained everything. Really just nice.
I am just so freaking mad and sad. I woke up this morning in a panic that the RE was going to say something like this. I just knew it was something to do with my egg shelf life. And to add insult to injury in I might be going through early menopause. Seriously, I just knew it. I seriously knew it.
I need to get through this diagonstic cycle as they call it to figure out do we leave a 20% chance of success on the table or just move on. I am so bummed.
E- I hope your 2WW goes by very quickly and ends with great news for you.
Cher- I hope your appointment went well!

Keep your fingers crossed ladies...here's hoping. If not, try try again.
for you ladies!
You go girl!
He couldn't figure out wth was wrong with me and then I reminded him of the meds. He said the Dr needed to give me something to handle the side effects. I told him there is no such thing. Oh well, only one more day of the Clomid and then HSG Friday. Still nervous about that. Ugh! Hurry up Friday!!
Maybe you should call and ask?
I had no idea the meds stay in the system for a month. Our poor DH's. And then if they work and we get pregnant they are in for even more fun.
