Hi again,

With an AMH of only 0.8 I would think that your Dr would have told you your much lowered chances. Mine did and because our insurance covered 90% we figured that we had nothing to lose. How wrong I was. I wish that I had thought it through a lot more and just saved and gone with DE.

Our insurance does not cover anything for a DE cycle so we knew that this was our last chance to have a child. I will at least know that I am carrying a child that is part of my husband and that gives me some comfort.


I would advise you to think long about going through an IVF, I had a very hard time dealing with all of the emotion that came along with another failure. I know that this journey is not what any of us have chosen, but we do have a responsibility to ourselves not to make it harder than it has to be.

I went through 2 months of BCP, and starting stims, all of the money that we spent on meds and the like and we could have been preparing for a DE cycle. I wish now that we would have done just that as we now have to wait until NOV to move on, and being in this place of waiting has not been easy either. It has not been made any easier by me feeling like I should never have attempted another IVF.

Now I feel ALOT more educated and I know that there is a much greater chance of me having a pregnancy with DE and I am ok with that.

I really hope for your sake that whatever you decide you will do it with the knowledge that you have made the effort to gather all the info that you can about your chances. I would definately ask my doc to sit down and give it to me straight, and know that before you spend anything on IVF that you have assured yourself that no matter the outcome that you have weighed this carefully and you won't have any regrets.

Amy
