I'm probably older (36) and my AMH dropped sharply in the last 11 months.
I'm not much younger, 34. That AMH though... this hormone is a bitch. Either it's too low and you worry about making enough eggs. Or it's too high and you make too many.

I thought my RE was being an ass talking about a sharp decline in fertility at 35...but for me and my body, it might be true. I’m glad I’m doing this now and not later with the way my AMH is going.

I popped! At least 14 beautiful follicles. I may trigger tonight for a retrieval Friday, my RE is going to call me with directions. (Sorry retrieval buddy compassrose)

Eeeee!
YAY!!! I thought you would! I’m so excited for you!

I was so excited I typed all the wrong words. Trigger tonight, retrieval on Friday. Maybe.
MM today, and follicles are growing slowly. Only 2 of 11 were over 10mm. Waiting for a call from the nurse with my estradiol numbers, but probably waiting until Friday to start the Cetrotide.
I hope slow and steady is the key for you too! Sending growing thoughts.
Thanks for all the well wishes, guys. It was nice to log in and see them all <3
One beautiful blast was transferred this morning. We had 6 growing and aside from the one that was transferred, 2 more made it to blast and they are watching the remaining 3 to see if they get there tomorrow. This is a significantly better result than what we got 3 years ago with eggs from the same batch. We're surprised and very happy!
My H was able to make it. Ultimately, I think he decided it was important for him to be there. I was okay either way but was glad he was there.

ivy, that is such a great update! Yay! I hope that beautiful blast cozies in and does its thing! Also it's so sweet your husband was able to be there with you after all. <3
@greengardner, same dose as you & after 4 days of stims, only 4-5 were over 10mm and they were not concerned. I started cetrotide right after the appt.

Officially on for Friday! I have 17 follicles between 14mm and 27mm (lol, I think the big one is probably fried.) Trigger tonight at 11pm with HCG and Lupron and then retrieve on Friday morning at 11am.

All kinds of exciting things going on here this week. Sending good wishes to all of you with big weeks.
The rest of my labs came back and I am protein c deficient. Per my RE, this wouldn’t mean lovenox and baby aspirin with pregnancy automatically, but given my history, she would recommend it. She also offered for me to see hematology, which I am thinking I would want to do so I know something more about this and would know if there are any other implications.
Relieved that there seems to be an answer. Anyone know anything about protein c deficiency? Or found hematology helpful?

Ugh I feel like an idiot because I did one of my trigger injections all off kilter. I think it’s too close to my belly button and a little below it instead of off to the side but it is one inch away as it says in my instructions. I hope I didn’t screw it up.

I really don’t think you can screw it up that easily if the meds made it into your body. You did it fine.

I hope not. I did a HPT this morning just to see if a line showed up and I did get one but it’s prwtty darn light. Not sure if that makes me worry more or less. I just feel like this is the most important part and I wish I was more confident I didn’t do anything that risked it not absorbing.
Maybe 8 hours after trigger/morning after it isn’t fully absorbed yet anyways? I’ve never tested trigger this early. Last time day after IUI it was BLAZING.
Eta: i just realized last time I used a full dose of ovidrel and this time I mixed 10,000 units chorianic gonad with a whole vial of sterile water and then only injected one unit of it. Plus I had the Lupron trigger. That might explain it - it’s probably less HCG. Idk why I’m so fixated on this, I need to stop spiraling. I know someone who had a failed retrieval last month because her trigger shot failed so it’s freaking me out more than it should even though I know that’s very unusual.
