I’m so proud of my ovaries!

I’m 40, AMH 0.45, AFC at my initial consult was 7.

My first cycle, my AFC at my baseline was 0. At my first monitoring appointment on stim day 5, I had 2 follicles on the left. I ended up growing 5 follicles in my left ovary over the course of the cycle, 4 were appropriately sized at retrieval, and we ended up with 3 eggs.

We just started a second cycle and I was super bummed because again my baseline AFC was 0. BUT, today (day 5), I have FIVE follicles growing already, including one on the right!! It feels ridiculous to be proud of my ovaries, but I am SO PROUD (especially of that persnickety right one that apparently is quite the diva)!!!

In the ups and downs of IVF, I’m riding high off my five follicles this morning! Best of luck to everyone in the thick of it 🩷🍀
