XP: Low AMH ladies

buggirl72

Hey PAL peeps! I miss and love so many of you and hope you are doing wonderfully!

I have a favor to ask and hope you don't mind me posting this here. I'm thinking about compiling something for the TTCAL blog on low AMH numbers. Getting bad AMH results is a killer of hope and I would like to compile a list of success stories.

For those of you who had your AMH tested and it came back below 1, could you please reply with what your AMH was, how you got your BFP (natural, medicated, IUI, IVF, etc.), how many cycles after getting your results it took to get a BFP, and if you were doing anything that you think may have helped. If you can think of anything else that should be added, please put that also

Thank you for your help!

I love that you are compiling that info. What a great idea!

Also, hi!

Age 35, AMH .16

Did a back to back IUI with injections (gonal F) and a trigger.  Got pregnant on 1st cycle. I lost that baby at 19 weeks, unrelated to IF, and did the same protocol 3 months later and got pregannat again. All of my other numbers are OK though,  and we have not MFI.

I love that you're doing this! I am trying to remember my AMH number from way back, I think it was 0.25 I'll have to ask my doctor as the online records don't go back that far.

Jan 2012: AMH 0.25 (?) @ 38 years old, diagnosed with DOR, told we are unlikely to get pregnant except via IVF or donor eggs.

Later that month. . . . natural BFP! Loss at 18 weeks, unrelated to DOR diagnosis

Started taking DHEA, one pill/day

2012/early 2013 Lots o' failed fertility treatments, but good response to IVF, estrogen priming protocol: 7 retrieved, 7 mature, 5 fertilized (with ICSI) and 4 available for transfer, 2 implanted (resulted in C/P) and 2 frozen

April 2013. . . natural BFP @39 years old. Isaac, a.k.a. Baby Boots born 11/23/13.

Hi @buggirl72‌! I was just lurking and saw this. Am I too late?

I had 4 early losses between September 2011-August 2012. In October of 2012, my AMH was .18 at 36 years old. All my other results were normal, and two different RE's recommended IVF. We had to wait until January 2013 to do an IVF cycle (switched to DH's insurance). I had 9 eggs retrieved (which I thought was a low number), 5 fertilized with ICSI and two available for a 3 day transfer. we implanted both and got pregnant that cycle. DS was born 4 weeks early in September 2013.

In the months leading up to our IVF cycle, I took DHEA, CoQ10 and myoinositol.

The RE explained that with low AMH, you have a higher percentage of abnormal eggs left, so I was probably having bad luck and getting BFP's on the cycles where my body released a bad egg. He said we could just keep trying naturally and we could get lucky and get a 'good' egg and a BFP, whereas with IVF we would be picking the best looking embryo(s) out of the group. We chose to go the IVF route to hopefully avoid any additional losses and because age/time was not on my side.

28 years old, DX of .58 AMH in March 2014. Started Clomid CD 3-7 with trigger on CD 15, BFP the first try, but ended up ectopic @ 5w6d.
I was taking prenate minis, vitamin D, and biotin. Also my FSH was 7.5, and all the other blood work that had been drawn has been normal. HTH
