Hope with IUI; a new journey

Lots to say...

We finally sat down with the FS and got all the results from the vast amount of tests we had done.  Here is the lowdown:
AMH - 0.16 - VERY LOW ovarian reserve
FSH - 12.18
Spermogram - excellent
Antral Follicle Count - 8/3 - okay, not great
Karotyoe - Normal
Hemoglobin A1c - .057 - slightly elevated

So what does that mean?  Well, i have to have another blood sugar test done to see about possible Type 2 diabetes...I have very few eggs left...and I need some help.
So what are we going to do?

We are about to embark on our first IUI ( he recommends 3 - I will do 2 before insisting we move on)
What he prescribed:
Metformin (for the high glucose levels)
DHEA 75 mg
CoQ10 - 600 mg
Folic Acid 5mg
Femara CD 3-7, Ovidrel trigger shot, Progesterone from night of IUI on
If BFP, Progesterone for 12 weeks

I had a great chat with my Naturopath this morning and will be starting acupuncture on the 15th.  She made me feel pretty good about what my FS had prescribed, and about what she feels my chances are.

So now I am just waiting for AF to get here so we can start this new journey.  I am feeling positive :)
