Hi everyone,

I am new to this site and have meaning to register for some time now. Hubby and I have been TTC for 4 years, we have gotten pregnant naturally twice last year but both ended in very early m/c's.. both at about 5weeks. We decided to take the plunge and go and see a fertility specialist and unfortunately I found out last year that I have low ovarian reserve with an AMH level of 1.0.

I had no understanding of what the fertility specialist was talking about at the time, all I can remember him saying was that normal levels should be about 14 and my was at 1.0, I just remember my eyes filling up with tears and I couldn't take in what he was saying.

He told us we should start IVF asap as time was running out. Both my husband and I felt shocked and gutted by this news. We managed to start our first IVF cycle a few months after our initial consultation. I did the antagonist cycle for IVF#1, with 300iu gonal F and ovidrel - they got 7 eggs out of which 3 fertilized, however 2 stopped dividing a few days later and didn't make it, they transferred one 9 cell on day 3 but I got a BFN.

I have just done IVF#2, this time I was put on long down regulation - 10units of lucrin & 375iu gonal F, I've been doing the injections for 4 weeks and I went in for my egg retrieval on Monday 22 Aug 11, they got 2 eggs, unfortunately none of them fertilized. I am gutted, heartbroken, devastated. I was dreaming of having an egg transfer this week but instead I have nothing.

I am 35 years old ( turning 36 in a few months ), my hubby is 33 and perfectly healthy. I guess I'm just looking for some support and hope. I'm waiting for a phone call from my specialist today and he'll advise what he thinks is best.

I feel lighter already just by posting this....

thanks so much for listening xx
