I had my follow up with the RE today, on CD4. Despite the fact that this last cycle didn't work, the appointment started with great news...my AMH was up from 0.87 to 1.6! Papa Bear was able to come with me this time, so he got to meet the RE and form his impression (most awkward appointment ever in his book). Since we've now had 2 Clomid cycles not work, despite 2 really good-looking follicles last month, she's switching me to Femara 5mg. Who all out there has done Femara?
No shots of any type with this cycle (especially since we'll be out of town for Thanksgiving at BD time). We will see how it goes, but it's nice to be making progress. Before leaving for the holiday, I'll have an appointment for a mid-cycle ultrasound, and we'll be able to get results from more testing for me and Papa Bear both.
For the record, I absolutely adore the phlebotomist at this clinic!!!! I have a HUGE needle phobia, but she has now stuck me twice without me wanting to cry, even with my vein not cooperating today!
Thanks for the update. Never done Femara. Sorry the Clomid didn't work. I'm at the end of my 2nd cycle with it; don't know the outcome yet but not very hopeful. Glad that at least your blood draws are less difficult.
ReplyDeleteI'm just SO glad that this time my body gave me a straight answer after only about 12 hours rather than jerking me around between spotting and not spotting for two days like last month!!!!
