Low AMH and endometriosis, do I have a chance for a successful IUI cycle??
Okay so.. long story short, I’m 29 years old and my and my husband have been trying to conceive for 8 months now. By month 6, I knew something wasn't right so I went in for a pap and some bloodwork. (I know they say wait until 12 months of trying but I know my body). Everything came back normal other than my AMH, which was extremely low at a 0.013.
My OBGyn immediately referred to a fertility clinic where I started doing testing. After a transvaginal ultrasound, HSG, and a MRI, I was diagnosed with a pretty severe case of endometriosis and distinguished ovarian reserve, and a blocked right fallopian tube.
The clinic (like a see a lot of them do) recommended that we try 3 cycles of IUI (with Letrozole, Follostim, trigger shot, and progesterone) before IVF, and they told me if I were to do IVF, I’d have to use a donor egg because they don’t think my follicles would produce enough eggs.
So I’m almost half way through my 1st IUI cycle, just went in for my check up appointment to see how my follicles were maturing and they couldn’t see anything because of my endometriosis cyst. Now I’m waiting for the Dr. to go over my ultrasound to see if they can see my follicles.
I’m just feeling discouraged about my success rate and I just want to know if there are any success stories out there similar to mine to cheer me up.
