P • I have 24, 23, and 3, and 1 y/o , 2 failed IUIs. 5 IVF. 7 Transfers. FET 11/12/18 cornual ectopic. FET 06/14/19 BFN. FET 08/22/2019 BFN. FET 4/1/2020 BFN. FET 12/01/2020 BFP baby girl born 08/18/2021. FET 10/26/2022 BFP baby girl born 06/25/2023. FET 11

So I had some really bad news January 30. My tubes are completly blocked.

IVF

is now our only option. I was already diagnosed with low ovarian reserve. (amh .49 fsh 5.5) so my RE has recommened multiple egg retrievals before we start

IVF

. Anyone else have this done? What happens before egg retrievals? Do they sedate you for egg retrieval? I am excited and nervous. Any help or pointer is greatly appreciated.

I'm 36 and have had two healthy babies the old fashion way, they are both 17 and 16 now.
