Perhaps you should see an RE and have the tests repeated. With any diagnosis of that type I would want a second opinion. I am unfamiliar with that situation so cannot give any other advice, best of luck to you.

I think going to an RE is in your best interest as well. Best of luck!

Those lab results are indicative of diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian failure. The good news is you are young so that likely means your eggs are good. You just might have trouble getting then out, meaning you might need a lot of meds to make a few eggs. But all you need is one good one for a pregnancy. Best of luck and I'm sorry you find here

I have diminished reserve/premature aging, and my doctor was pretty clear that age is still WAY more an indicator of your chances to get pregnant than just the test results.  I'm 38.  If I were 42, my doctor wouldn't think I had much of a chance, with my numbers, but at 38, she's pretty confident.  

And hey, you're 21-- that is a huge benefit!  Nobody here can say for sure where your path will take you, but age is definitely a big help for you.  Second opinions can be helpful, but if your doctor is hopeful for you, then consider giving him a chance to prove his theory.
