Re: I'm really struggling - WWCND?
My RE doesn't seem to do AMH but I will ask him about it today. I don't know how much value there is in digging deeper into my ovarian reserve, because that doesn't feel like that is the problem. My Day 2 numbers are good (except my FSH and LH aren't the same), I have gotten pregnant 4 times and all relatively quickly. I do not buy into my dx of diminished ovarian reserve. I think he just didn't know what else to tell me. I'm a mystery wrapped in an enigma!

I am completely late here, but I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you and hoping you find something that works soon. I am completely terrified of my pregnancy now just after one miscarriage - I could not imagine how I would feel after four.
I think some of the other tests (hostile uterus, etc.) might be a good thing to look into. I think I would want to look into every single possibility before having to make a decision like this.
Also, there are still women who have successful pregnancies after multiple miscarriages. Just something to keep in mind.

A hostile uterus would definately go "pew pew pew"

I do have information on a similar program through my RE's office, but there was some little exemption if you have had more than 2 "spontaneous" miscarriages. I don't know what "spontaneous" means in this instance, but I think it means I don't qualify. I sort of feel like if I had to go through IVF 3 times and still not have a baby, I wouldn't care if I got my money back. I'd just jump off a tall building. Not really, but sort of. I can't even imagine putting myself through it 3 times. I'm barely OK with 1 time, but I think that relates to by problem being difficult to diagnose and treat. It's just not a clear cut issue.
I did get info from another adoption agency and they cap their fees at $20K which was a real breath of fresh air for me. And if by some miracle we are not on the top of their sliding scale, it would cost less.

I know Mr M's employer offers full reimbursement for adoption fees. Wanna be sister-wives?
Between Skyhiney's Drill, Baby, Drill! and your ovarian reserves I want to make some completely inappropriate Deepwater Horizon joke, but I can't quite get my brain there. Pooh.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
I have looked into adoption assistance through my husband's employer (none...boo) but never bothered to look at my employer. I work for the state, so it's unlikely but I will look. There is a hefty tax credit for adopting (up to $12,000 or something). It's not a rebate where you just get $12K back in your pocket, but it's sort of a big deal.
The H and I also came to an agreement last night. I want to try to get pregnant one more time (by whatever means...we haven't figured that one out yet) before we move to adoption. I guess I need to feel like I did everything I could before I gave up on myself. But finding out more positive information about adoption has helped me. It makes it feel less "do or die" because I know I have some good options.
