Hello FF friends,
I have a big dillema in my hand. I am due to start my first IVF cycle. I have very low AMH (0.9) due to endo ops I had last year. My doctor gave me two treatment options but I cannot decide which one is the best for me. One option is going ahead with standart IVF using stimulating drugs, there is a big chance I might no respond to the drugs at all due to low AMH, more importantly I would be taking a big risk having the endo back. The second option he gave me is doing a natural cycle IVF which doesn't use stimming drugs, work with the one egg you produce. He suggests that it's a less risky option and the quality of the egg would better than the ones I'd produce with the stimmed IVF. But the success rate is a lot lower, around 10%.
I am confused as I definately don't want to re-live all the pain I suffered from endometriosis but with the natural IVF the success chance is very low. I need to make a decision until the end of this week and I keep changing my mind
How did IVF affected your endometriosis? Did it get worse with the stimulating drugs? Are there any natural IVF success stories out there?
Many thanks
