Need AMH advice!!

samantha5110

So I am starting my fourth round of IUI. My last IUI, my AMH level was .9. Since then, I had a laparoscopy to remove endo. My levels were tested again a few weeks ago and now they're .7. BUT during my ultrasound today, they found 8-9 follicles. The nurse said it seems my AMH levels and what's showing on my ultrasound aren't matching. Has anyone had this before? What does it mean?!?! She said because of my AMH level, it still makes me a good candidate for clomid. Any advice??

I guess she was surprised you have 8 follicles without you taking any meds, yet?  I'm assuming today was your baseline u/s?  It is kind of a high number for a lower AMH level, but I had a similar AMH and some months had a lot of follies, others I didn't.  I think she still sees you as a good candidate for clomid, since it's not likely all 8-9 will take the lead as your cycle progresses.  

Good luck!

My AMH was .75 during both my IVFs and I had an AFC of 11 and 14. So yours seems normal to me. I was told your AFC is more indicative of whether you have DOR or not because your AMH can fluctuate. Mine went up to 1.5 almost a year after it was .75.

Those numbers do not always correlate with what you will get on a follicular ultrasound. I know you didn't ask, but with having endometriosis, if I were you, I would have my blood tested for elevated natural killer cells which can cause immune implantation dysfunction making it very hard to get pregnant naturally unless the high natural killer cells are treated. Lots of us on here have the raised natural killer cells and are being treated for it before fertility treatments. Good luck to you.

Thank you for sharing about your AMH! You just gave me a little bit of hope. I'm 33 and my AMH is .49. It was 59 a few months ago and recently was 49. I have done 2 IUI'S with Clomid and my last cycle I had 5 mature follicles. I have been reading a lot about low AMH and majority of it says the IVF is the best treatment. I really don't want to have to go that route. We are going to start injectables this week. Thanks for sharing and I wish you all the best with your IUI

Hi! I am 31 and my AMH was .47.in December and was .52 last month.  I have 13 follicles and was told that IVF was my only option considering my low ovarian reserve. I am starting some meds tomorrow and injectables in about 2 weeks. Good luck!
