2nd IVF retrieval cancelled
My second attempt at an IVF retrieval was just cancelled. I’m looking for stories of hope with successful pregnancy and healthy babies conceived naturally.
A little more about me : I’m 33 and I have a 3 year old son and conceived naturally. We have been trying almost 2 years now for #2 and have had about 4 miscarriages (early, all chemical or before 6 weeks). My levels have been tested a few times. My FSH in September was 19 and since November has hovered between 10-13. My AMH in September was .8 but I’ve had it retested twice and it was 1.22 and then 1.77. I tend to ovulate early (day 10-12) but I consistently ovulate and have 26 day cycles. I’ve attempted IVF twice now (my RE recommended PGTA testing due to our recurrent losses, my entire diagnostic came back normal aside from ovarian reserve). The first cycle was cancelled on day 9 of stims because I only had 3 measurable follicles. The second was cancelled on day 9 of stims because my estrogen dropped (I had 4-5 measurable follicles this time). I’m feeling disheartened.
My husband and I had discussed this being our last retrieval attempt, so it’s either natural conception, donor eggs or adoption from here. I would love anyone’s insight or stories of hope. Feeling pretty hopeless at this point.
Thanks!
