@GreenThumb: Another lurker. I was 29 when I had my FSH and AMH tested before our IVF cycle and my numbers 9.8 and 1.0 respectively and I was also diagnosed as boarder line DOR on top of endometriosis and MFI for my SO
ETA: I know you have been through a couple frozen rounds recently. Do you know if you clinic does endometrial biopsies to help with implantation??
-
@NorthStar: Thank you, that is reassuring! I know I'll get more info when I see the RE, but my appointment is still two weeks away.
@travellingbee: Thank you! I'm really hoping that DH's SA comes back ok. We really want this fresh round to be it! Hope all is well with you!!
@mrswin: Thanks for your reply! I know that my RE suggested a biopsy the cycle before a transfer if we were going to do a natural FET with her (instead we chose to do a medicated FET with my old clinic since we did not want to move the embryos across the country). Now that we are doing a fresh cycle, I'm not sure what she will suggest. She explained that if we did a natural cycle FET, a biopsy the previous month would indicate whether my natural hormone cycle would be sufficient to support a transfer without hormone replacement, but she did not mention that it could help with implantation. Did you have experience with that?

Ah the Internet ate my post!
When I was doing my IVF cycle my clinic was conducting a study to see if an endometrial biopsy in the cycle before a fresh transfer improves implantation rates. I didn't participate in that study because I didn't meet the criteria (previous failed cycle). My clinic was trying to see if they saw similar results to some of these studies before they considered including it in their protocol.

@GreenThumb: Those are great numbers! I'm 29 and my FSH is 6.7 and AMH is 1.7.

@YogiRunner: you have to feel good about it, so IUI sounds like the correct route!
@GreenThumb: sounds like those are great numbers!
@ballerinabee: i like the Babis. I got a positive on it this month, but never got a peak on my CBEFM. The one thing I don't like about the CBEFM is that you just test in the mornings, and my spike is always in the evening. (Plus, the sticks are $$$$)

@ms.line: @Crystal: Thanks ladies! DH is doing his SA in a week or so (he is out of town at a conference next week). Let's hope his numbers are OK, too. We really want to be able to do a fresh cycle!!

@GreenThumb: I forgot to tag you last night. See my response above
-
@mrswin: Thank you so much for the links! I'll have to ask more about the biopsy/implantation success at my consult. I'm definitely ready to try anything!!

DH's SA came back "normal" but 5% morphology. There are two fertility labs in town, and the first one (3 months ago) said subfertile, poor prognosis due to 4% morphology (other numbers fine-great). DH did supplements and avoided the laptop for 3 months, with an increase in motility (55 to 78%), total count fine, but morphology only 5%. We had been labeled moderate MFI, but this RE says we're probably more unexplained. I had done 1 femara cycle last fall, and tried again this time with a BFN at 12DPO. So disappointed and confused.
