Low AMH Level

JJPerez927

I was wondering when you had IVF how many eggs retrieved with a low amh level? we are currently in the stimming process and running out of money and.need to decide shortly to pay freezing of embryos.we also face mfi and have frozen sperm waiting so just trying to get an idea.

@jjperez927 Hey Jen~ I hope the ladies here get you some sort of answers to gear an idea! Thinking of you always xo

I am curious to know this, too.  On my first IVF, my AMH was high, but apparently in the 2 years since I tested my AMH, it is now super low.  I am looking at IVF #2 and have no idea what to expect.

My amh is .72 and I got 16 and 11 eggs (mature rates were close to those numbers also)

I think that is pretty good considering!

I have a low AMH (i think it was around .9 at one point and .7 at another), but I got 22 retrieved, 18 fertilized, 6 survived, and after genetic testing, there were 3 that were good to go!  Go 2 in me right now and the third is frozen.  Wish we had more to freeze, but the testing definitely weeds out any bad eggs.  For me they said it was the quality of the eggs, not necessarily the amount.  Probably different from us all, but they say it works all the time with people with low AMH, so it is not an improbability!

My AMH is 0.38 and I had 7 retrieved and 5 mature.  3 fertilized

My AMH is 0.66 and my AFC was 10. Ten eggs were retrieved, 8M and 7F with ICSI. There were none to freeze. 2 embryos made it to day 5 and both were transferred. Good luck!

Paif response:

Two years ago my amh was 1.4. A year ago for ivf#1 6r5f transferred 1 froze 3. This year ivf#2 10r 8f two transferred and the rest didn't make it to freeze. 17w with singleton with vanishing twin.

Thanks for all the responses girls, My AMH level was at .44
I start stimming on Saturday..Really nervous but excited for our first IVF cycle. Please send prayers our way! :-)

My AMH was .21 last November. In July, I had 7 AFC, 7 retrieved, 7 mature, 6 F, 4 made it to blast. We transferred 2 and have 2 frosties.

Good luck! I know how a low AMH feels like a black cloud over your head! Hopefully you still get a lot of eggs but if not, it's quality over quantity!

As above pp's have said - There are so many factors that go into this.  It depends on your response to meds, your AFC, your protocol...during a visit with my most recent RE in July, I asked him a very similar question because I was concerned about not having any or only 1 or 2 for retrieval since my AFC was so low (about 4 at the time). He told me there were about 8 different variables that are considered predictive.  He also told me that even if you have an ultra low AFC (like I do), that sometimes you can get more than your baseline AFC.  Generally speaking, though, it seems like of the ladies I have seen on this forum and others that usually they do not get anymore than their AFC.  And then you have to consider that there are some that will be retrieved, but may not fertilize. There are others that may fertilize, but may arrest, etc.  Overall, though, when I was looking at doing IVF, my most recent RE was positive...but yet I saw a different RE in Feb who told me that I wasn't even a candidate for IVF because of undetectable AMH and very low AFC.  I will tell you, though, that I am now a firm believer in supplements. 

If you are thinking about doing IVF, I would start on some supplements for egg quality. I took CoQ10 (my RE had me on 100 mgs, 2 times a day), Vitamin D (I was on 2000 iu per day) and 1 Baby Aspirin (in some studies it shows to increase blood flow to the ovaries).  I would not take DHEA, though, unless you have your levels monitored.

There is also a great forum called network 54 high fsh forum where there are a bunch of very knowledgeable ladies on the topic of DOR/Low AMH/High FSH.

*siggy warning * I agree with PP about a number of factors being involved. My AMH was 0.3 at first and later retested at 0.6 and as you can see in my siggy I had two IVF attempts converted to IUIs due to poor response and then found the right combo of meds (and perhaps supplements and acupuncture) and had 11 fertilized. I would ask your RE what he expects for ER based on your test results (FSH, AMH, response to meds). Good luck!
