Here is the information I have. At the beginning of June last year, my AMH was 1.35. At the beginning of August (two months later) it was 0.8. At the beginning of April this year (8 months later) it's down to 0.4. I'm concerned that my eggs will be gone by the end of the year at this rate. I'm also concerned that IVF may not work for us, and I don't want to pour money into something that is going to be seriously unpleasant to do and unlikely to work. On the other hand, I don't want to just give up.
I moved up my final doctor's appointment before I can go in to get an antral follicle count and get started on figuring out IVF to Tuesday. I'm hoping my period doesn't come before then, but with how strange and inconsistent it has been lately, I'm not holding out hope. Can you get a pap smear when you have your period?
So if we're going to do IVF, I think we're going to have to do it soon. Like, really soon. I don't know what we'll do if we put thousands of dollars into it and end up with no embryos. I was angry enough that we would probably have to do IVF. I'm even angrier knowing that the chance of success is so small.
Both my husband and I are willing to consider adoption, although we would both prefer to adopt younger children. I personally don't think I could handle kids with major issues, I hate to say. We already have a dog with major issues, and my husband has problems with his legs, and I don't think I can handle any more. We would also probably have problems with the costs, especially if we tried IVF first. So for now, I just don't know.
