Hi All,
Apologies I’ve double posted I’m just feeling very low.
Should I just give up and accept it’s not meant to be? My heart longs for another child, and we can afford it etc but it’s just not happening, should I take this as a sign?
I’ve just turned 36 and am so blessed that I have two children (conceived at 29 and 31, delivered at 30 and 32) I feel like such an idiot for waiting as long as I have for #3 but life got in the way. I started a month after turned 35, so it’s now been 12 months but I’ve only had 10 cycles. In 2 I had a severe infection from cellulitis which pretty much destroyed that cycle.
My AMH is good, UK measurement of 37 and I’ve had an afc of 29.
I take 1000mg of metformin for lean pcos (tried inositol and nac but it shortened my luteal phase)
I take ubiquinol, omega3, pre natal, vit d, zinc and p5p in my luteal phase and I’ve just been prescribed progesterone because my luteal phase can be a bit short (11 days) BUT I’ve had my 7dpo bloods taken than showed progresterone of 38, so I do clearly ovulate.
My husband had very good concentration 27m, morphology of 5%, but his progressive motility was low at 22% BUT his total motile sperm count was 18.6m which I’m told is still pretty good.
What else can I do?
I’m wondering to ask a fertility clinic for clomid or something to boost the number of eggs? But it might be tricky to get as they just recommended progesterone.
my health insurance would cover IVF but the clinic recommended trying for another 6 months but I just can’t see how the next 6 months would be different from the year prior
