Experiences with Infertility

[XXforhubby]

I am 35 years old and DH is 36 years old, we have been actively ttcing for 6 cycles, and we have not used protection for 8 cycles. I have found out that my FSH is 45.4 (44.8 the previous cycle) and my AMH is less than 0.3. The strange thing is (there are many!) I conceived both of my boys right away. DS1 is 4yrs old and DS2 is 18 months. I get a period regularly, always get positive opks CD11-16, and my LP is 12-16 days. I do not have problems with vaginal dryness, except right after AF ends. My periods are normal, not too heavy and not too long- just average. I am breastfeeding DS2 2-4 times a day.
I have an appointment with an RE 1/7 to discuss my options and for further testing.

Anyone go on to have another child with hormones suggesting infertility? If so, what treatments did you do and how long until you conceived? Anyone get a surprise BFP on their own (I guess I am praying for a miracle, unlikely I know!)?

Any other advice or suggestions are welcome!!

I am kind of in your situation as well. I have been actively TTC for 11 months and I also conceived both my boys right away. DS 1 will be 5 this month and DS 2 is 2. I am shocked it is taking so long. I am hoping our girls are just worth waiting for. I think seeing an RE with your levels is a great idea. I also have an appt on the 21st with an RE. An RE will have much better info and options for you than an OB. Wishing you the best of luck!! HUGS!!!

GL to you too DJmommy! Please update me on what the RE says for you! I will too after my appointment on 1/7. Maybe we will get our BFPs and won't need to pursue anything. Wouldn't that be nice!!

Good luck for all of us!
Not sure if it's a hormone problem. I bet you were really relaxed while your 2 boys were conceived...and now stressed from a a cycle to another.
Are you having a big O while TTC? How often do you TTC each month?

Quick question...I know what ob mean, but what is a re?

[XXforhubby]

I don't try to prevent or avoid big O. Ttc girl is stressful enough without one more thing to worry about. I have become much more relaxed as time is going on and not getting pregnant. This month I let DH call the shots on BDing, which worked out to every 2-3 days from the end of AF to O (I am temping again). We will probably keep every 2-3 days. We were every BDing every 4 days.

An RE is a Reproductive Endocrinologist who specializes in reproductive issues and can administer treatments like IVF.

Oh, I got it now regards the RE :-)
It sounds good. Somebody told me that she got pregnant after having a O, she just relaxed and got pregnant.
I'm also stressed because of the fact I dont get pregnant...I'm 27 and my husband just turned 33....We also got our boy one shot with 4-5 days before Ov.
It's hard not to think "WHY I dont get pregnant?"
I hope we All soon get our BFP!

I've been having mcs since my last son was 1. He's almost 6 now my hormones are really low, I do estrogen and progesterone supplementation (and sometimes hcg). I have no suggestions, I too really want that last baby and can't seem to make it happen. I'm 38 now (so this has been a problem since right after I turned 33) so time is running out.

Hugs to you, not an easy journey. I would push the re and not wait on that. Fx to you!
