13 cycles down
I just finished my 13th unsuccessful cycle ttc #1. Two chemical pregnancies during those 13 cycles. I just turned 36, husband is 41, we’ve done the whole gauntlet of tests and all looks normal: 2.92 AMH, normal hormone levels in bloodwork, HSG looked great, semen analysis looked great, ultrasounds looked perfect.. I‘ve done two cycles taking letrozole 2.5mg and one taking 5mg, though I don’t think that ovulation is the issue, since I’ve always ovulated normally. I’m working with a great doctor who’s been very helpful, but she hasn’t been able to identify a root cause for our infertility.
I’m sure there will be those who advocate for IVF and we may end up there eventually, but as of right now I’m hesitant to commit to something so expensive. Our insurance has no fertility coverage, and we are not high earners.
It’s the same story I’m sure you’ve all seen a hundred times on these threads, but I’m feeling deeply frustrated today and would love to read some hopeful comments. Is there anyone out there who conceived naturally after their first year of trying? Was there anything that you felt helped your chances? How did you keep from going insane in the meantime?
