It took me 7 months to get pregnant with a miscarriage and 8 with my son ( he’s almost 2). TTC Number two for 7 cycles now and or course I’m at that point where I’m stressing if something is wrong. Can someone please remind me that it’s normal to take up to a year? I’m 34. I did have basic blood work done and all seemed okay but I can’t help but stress. I’m 11dpo today and tested negative and can just feel my period about to come.

I need help interpreting my Day 3 fertility test results. I am planning on starting a family within the next 5-7 years and wanted to get a baseline understanding. My OB/GYN says my Pap smear was normal. My results are as follows:

Female, 28 years old.
AMH: 8.41 ng/mL
FSH: 10.0 mIU/mL
Estradiol: 22 pg/mL

Are these numbers okay? Do I have time or should I be acting soon?

A neighbor in my building donated some fertility meds to be that will expire in a few weeks . I’m about to start my cycle and insurance will cover my medications but I’m nervous insurance won’t cover additional meds for more rounds. Already ordered meds through my insurance .

After my first FET with a PGT tested embryo my HCG was 145 (8 days post transfer); one week later my HCG dropped to 31. My RE mentioned there is no hope and we will move on to additional testing before going into the next transfer cycle. Is there indeed no hope for the HCG to increase at this stage? What tests did your RE conduct after a failed FET. The embryo did implant, but did not develop.

Fellow KPMG, anyone with aetna pos II plan? It seems like you have a 35,000 lifetime maximum.

I also understand that oral drugs such as letrazole are covered under the prescription plan and you only need to enroll and register in the fertility plan if you need IUI and the more rigorous treatments.

Questions:
1. Does the letrazole count towards the 35 lifetime maximum?

Any other advice or insight would be appreciated.
