This is a check in for anyone dealing with being labeled a poor responder, sometimes called diminished ovarian reserve but also called POF or POI [also included: high FSH, low AMH, low AFC]. All are welcome here no matter where you are along your journey or what kind of treatment you're seeking. Another monthly-style check-in, if that's okay with you guys! If it doesn't work we'll switch back to weekly. What's happening, ladies?!

Nothing new here yet! I'm hoping that by early next week I'll have a good plan of dates with my nurse, and then we'll go from there.
My aunt is visiting this weekend, and it will be fun to hang out and do some touristy things with her.

Oh, and in random other news, 2 of my chickens have started laying! My third little diva needs to catch up to her sisters. I'll try to come back to post a picture, since I'm proud of these feathered girls!

birch113 Sorry about the headaches! So miserable! bonzo Yay for chickens!! That's so exciting! lemonliz thanks for the check in! specter enjoy the trip! AFM: cycle day 11 today after clomid+gonal. Had one follicle at 20 mm yesterday, lining only at 7. Started estrogen patches yesterday, triggered this morning, first IUI tomorrow morning. I'm glad I responded to the addition of the gonal, but of course now worried it's so early in my cycle compared to usual. 🙄 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks lemonliz, for the check-in! bonzo, have fun with your Aunt and having some relaxation time. Always important to do  And love your chickens! So cute! birch113, good luck with monitoring next week! Hope the headaches go away. specter, have fun on your holiday! heartpresidents, good luck with this IUI. AFM: ********Trigger Warnings/sibling/loss******************************************** My beta increased to 1052. I guess I'm graduating from this check-in. I'm still nervous as hell whether or not this will work out. This was IVF #3/FET #3 and after our miscarriage I am on pins and needles. My first ultrasound will be this upcoming Friday. But anyway, I wanted to thank lemonliz, for being our fearless leader. I want to thank you all of you for supporting me for the past year! It was last August that we started this journey with IVF #1 to TTC a sibling. It's been one hell of a year and I really hope we get our take home baby(ies) out of this. I really think I might be carrying twins, grateful, but nervous. When I conceived DD via IVF, that was when everyone jumped from the bump to TCF and I fell off the board. I think this will happen again, I don't feel as connected here to move to the pregnancy board and came here because of all the wonderful DOR women!!! I plan to update on the FB group with many ex-members from TCF. If any of you need to reach out, lemonliz, knows where to find me. I love you all, but hope I never return  And I will be praying, crossing toes, sending good vibes all of your ways and hope that you all can start/complete your families one way or another however it may happen. Love, dp21 |

You can add me to the graduate list. I have been extremely anxious, but I just had my 2nd ultrasound and everything is measuring on track. I am praying for all you ladies. Thanks for all the support you provided me!

Our FET was cancelled due to a craptastic lining. I'll be on Endometrin for 7 days. CD1 should be end of next week. My RE wants to stick with the same protocol minus BCP at the start of the cycle. I'll start Estrace right away instead.
