Gulp.. did I just pay to be told that?

Along I went to my fertility specialist, buoyed by the great result of my thyroid level and excited by what was next. I showed him my result and he seemed pleased. He did say that if I got pregnant I would probably need thyroxin to support the baby as mine may not be sufficient.


Then came the news I did not want.


My AMH level was 43, which meant I was confirmed as having polycystic ovaries.


My husbands sperm had low motility. This meant we would need to do iui or ivf to have any chance of getting pregnant.


I can't remember if he said anything much else.


He said we could either do a few rounds of clomid and if I didn't get pregnant I could do the laparoscopy. Or we could do a laparoscopy and then start clomid.


As I already have endometriosis I opted to have a laparoscopy first. If it's already broken I don't want to go through the hope and heartbreak and emotions of clomid without a chance.


All I want is to be on an even playing field with everyone who has normal fertility.


I've booked my laparoscopy for mid August so will update when I have some more results.
