Hi everyone,
im feeling quite low because after 12 months of trying to conceive nothing has happened. This is secondary infertility and I don’t think my prospects look good. I have tried to get advice from my GP who seems disinterested and I don’t qualify for IVF. I have spent money on private tests but the GP said they are not qualified to help me interpret them so I’ve been frantically googling and they don’t seem good. The first FSH was 8.1 in March and AMH was 2.8 pmol , however I got a second FSh done just a month later in April (day 2 of my cycle and it shot up to 24). How can that be just a month apart? I was heartbroken and I know it can vary month to month but it seems that it’s indicative that maybe I’m too told. I feel depressed as I can’t afford IVF. I wondered if anyone had tried acupuncture? I tried it last month just before ovulation and I felt that my cervical mucus changed during ovulation and I was 2 days late. For those 2 days I thought I might have conceived and felt like I was pregnant but then my period came. I was planning to test the day it came as wanted to leave it as long as possible to avoid any unnecessary disappointment. I am having such a bad period and really bad pain in my back and wonder if I could have had a chemical pregnancy. If it was it could give me hope that the Accupuncture maybe helped. Anyway I just wanted to vent and hear off anyone who had some success stories getting pregnant after 42 with poor AMH and FSH. I find I put my life on hold thinking next month I could fall pregnant and now a year has gone by. I don’t know how I give up on this.
