There is nothing quite like undressing from the waste down and taking a paper napkin and placing it over your private areas. But all of us women do it. All. Of. Us.
This is going to be my normal attire for the next 2 weeks. Lots of ultrasounds to make sure my uterus lining is thickening, my ovaries are producing follicles and my blood levels are staying on track.
So, here are my results from the day. My AMH level is at 8.60. Let me explain what AMH is and why it matters for me. When we started the IVF process back in 2009, I was 28 years old. I am know 35 years old. When a woman reaches the age of 35, her ovaries become considered old (it's a shame). AMH testing helps tell what a woman egg quality if going to be and how many eggs they could potential develop. Normal range for a 35 year old woman is 1.0-1.5; this is when my PCOS gives me an upper hand. My egg quality is 8.60, extremely high.
PCOS - Let's chat real quick. Woman with PCOS have a very hard time getting pregnant. VERY HARD. Most woman with PCOS, don't even get to experience pregnancy. PCOS, causes ovulation to not occur due to the cysts that are on our ovaries. Yet, with a little medication, our ovaries become stimulated and we produce more follicles to ovulate. Power in numbers.
So, here we are. No going back! Oh, and I swiped our credit card; $5350. I'll take it! When we swiped our first round $9900.
