Hi Dr. Quick back round, I am a mother of 3, & have had 3 miscarriages, of which 2 were in this past year, (BTW, all conceived naturally & w/first times try's )@ 39 years old, one was a blighted ovem @ 7 weeks & the other was a missed mc @ 10.5 weeks (died @ 9 wks) had good levels, strong HB & DnC came out normal. My old RE feels that my traveling over 22 hours by plane between 5.5-7 weeks pregnant MAY have caused the embryo to NOT divide correctly, so the pg failed. I know this is a theory debated by Dr's. BUT to me it makes perfect sense & honestly something i was worried about prior to going on our holiday.
Anyway, I switched RE's last month, mostly because my insurance, but so far happy I did. I did do 2 rounds of Gonal-F @ 150 for 6 & 7 nights, of which my ovary produced 3 & 2 mature follicles quickly ( I O early too) one cycle we did IUI & both cycles failed ;( My progesterone levels on the CD21 b/w came back only at an 8 & the other cycle @ an 18, both times I was on vaginal supp.'s. I only have 1 ovary/tube due to a stupid endo cyst that took over my life, had Lap done last Nov. & my left side is all gone now.
Last cycle I did no meds, except progesterone & my Preg. level came back great @ a 40.
So, my new RE is very proactive, is having me do the CCT & I had an HSG done today which showed all clear & looked good, my CD3 FSH came back @ a 10.1 & my E2 was 40.
SOOOO, question; since I only have one ovary, HOW much is my FSH effected by one ovary? & what is "ideal" for E2? I should mention again that NORMALLY I O between late CD 9-late - CD11, & have 26-28 CD's & VERY regular!
I go back on Wednesday for my CD10 b/w to see how I respond to the CCT, which I already know I respond well to fertility meds from the 2 cycles I recently did.
Also, I am getting that test where the RE puts iodine in my uterus & does an US to check for adhesions etc.
Sorry for such a long post, but I wanted to give you a quick history! ;)
I am now 40 too! Thanks!
