Well maybe not all wounds but it definitely heals a lot of wounds.
The last couple of months have been very up and down. Given my history of poor response to IVF treatment Dr K requested I get an AMH test done which gives an indication of how good my ovarian reserve is and I failed miserably. A level of 14 or less is considered very low and indicates diminished ovarian supply. My level was less than 1..... It was so low they couldn't even give me an exact number, i guess it doesn't really matter though because there isn't much difference between 0 and 1. I was totally gutted to get this news, as if we haven't been through enough already we get thrown this curve ball as well. Apparently this has nothing to do with my other infertility it's just the card I was dealt with when I was born and if I was trying to fall pregnant naturally I would have had trouble as well. Also on top of all of this 6 of my friends are pregnant at the moment and I am surrounded by everything babies......
The up side is my fighting mode has kicked in again and I'm picking up the pieces. Dr K has me on a hormone medication that has had some recent good success with increasing egg supply and for the first time in months I am looking forward and into the future at one more try. I still cringe a little bit about the thought of another IVF cycle but I know I have to do it. For me to be able to move on with life (with or without another child) I need to know that I did everything I could - no regrets,what ifs, or what could have been.
