Snowball chance in Hell

I went to the doctor today to make sure I did not have any cysts from this past cycle. Needless to say I had at least 4 that I counted. This is not a good thing.
1. They are extremely painful
2. They can burst at anytime
3. I cant start any other medication until they are gone
So that was the better of the two pieces of news that I got. The really bad news was when I asked if they had received my AMH levels back. To make things elementary, AMH levels detect how much longer a person can have a child. I had my levels checked 18 months ago and then two weeks ago. My levels went down substantially. In fact, so much that I only have a few months left to even be considered a candidate for IVF. (.5 is the cut off and I'm at .65)
So Daniel and I have two options.
1. No kids and/or straight to adoption
2. Try IVF and pray for a miracle.
Needless to say we are heartbroken and will most likely be proceeding with IVF in January since we literally have a matter of months remaining.That is if the cysts go away and my body responds to the medicine.
