Myname is Emily and I am 21 years old and I have a amazing DP who i have been with for 4 years who is 22 (we live together)
February 14th 2014 I nearly died after collapsing and I was diagnosed with a rare endocrine disorder called Addisons disease or Primary Adrenal Insufficieny, I will be on hydrocortison and fludrocortisone for life. That week I was also diagnosed with Celiac disease, hashimotos disease as well as testing positive for pancreatic, adrenal and ovarian antibodies. My doctors ummed and ahhed and decided it best to freeze some embryos just in case. in May I underwent my first round of IVF using puregone, orgalutran and ovidrel with an amazing fertility doctor, I ended up with 21 egg which resulted in the freezing of 5 day 5 embryos. 2 months later I under went another round not as successful but we got 4 day 2 embryos. Then that was it, I haven't had a period since then. I routinely get scanned vaginally by my fertility specialist to see whats going on and 2 months ago a cyst was found on my ovary believed to be the cause, scanned again and it was gone but nothing. It was then revealed to me that my past 3 months of blood tests were abnormal super low estrogen and high fsh and I was told on Friday I was in Premature ovarian Failure. I am numb, it feels like its come out of no where.
We have decided to begin to TTC naturally (which we wanted to do anyway) even with compromised ovarian function so we have been in the tic 1-6 month group but today I was told for the third month i have high fsh oh no estrogen and I have begun 7 weeks of hrt then we will abruptly stop attempt to conceive naturally with rebound and if not after 6 months we will be moving on to ivf hopefully with new eggs and if that doesn't work we will use our snow bubs. I don't know where I really fit so I am sorry if it's not here. We have been on our Tx journey since March so we will see what happens. If I am in the wrong group I will leave
