I went to a consult with an eastern medicine fertility specialist last night. I think I am going to take at least 3 months off from the RE and change my diet, lose some weight, and get some acupuncture. He had some interesting things to say so why not. He wants me to start temping again (ugh) so we’re just going to be doing natural cycles for the time being. I’m hoping that even if I don’t get pregnant, I will feel better. I might not be around as much, but it’s so slow in this board I don’t think anyone will notice! FX for you charliefox!

I hope the diet changes and weight loss help you feel better obscureference. Feel free to stick around and/or check in whenever!

Just got off the phone with my RE. Everything on my repeat loss panel came back negative, we were a little worried about my prolactin since it was borderline back in August but it looks great now. Of course, my body/life had to throw a wrench in it all and my AMH took a nose dive, 1.76 to 0.61. RE says there can be a difference depending on the lab and that it isn't entirely accurate, she guesses my actual number is somewhere in between, around 1.0. This does mean that she's changing my dosages for our IVF cycle and also ups our likelihood for doing more than one IVF retrieval. Bollocks.
Looks like we're still on for TTC next cycle then starting IVF in August, egg retrieval around the first week of Sept.

charliefox Sorry about the AMH drop. But any blood draw is just such a small snapshot of the entire picture. I hope you only need one retrieval! (Or none!)

Glad the repeat loss panel was negative charliefox. Sorry for the drop in AMH though. Yay for having a plan for starting IVF!
