    @rachlee2010 yes we are doing the chromosome testing. I should have that info 10-14 days after we find out which make it to day 5. It really is quality over quantity. First round with the new dr and I had 3 and only 1 was good in the end. Second round 5 and none were good. Hoping this case is different with the 15lb weight loss and healthy eating etc. I really don't want to do this again nor pay another 5 grand. Well have a great weekend all and Happy Father's Day to those who are! Xoxo

  • @Hoping4Success I'm sorry wish I had an answer for you. I had a tumor removed on my left ovary and three cysts on my right. Dr said he saved my ovaries but the scaring from the right three cysts ate my right ovary so that's why I'm only working with one. Try to take coq10 300mg, 3(25mg) DHEA, prenatal vitamins. Those were my main ones and I feel like it's been helping.

  • @hopefulmom I do feel better after acupuncture although the masseuse does my neck and back from past injuries and she beats me up lol I hurt but feel better afterwards. The acupuncture I feel gives me good blood flow which they say helps the circulation of blood from the legs to the ovaries etc. best of luck. I do know @ShayLatrice was using some herbs too in the beginning of this thread she had said you should try that too. Can't hurt. 

    @Hoping4Success I hope everything works out for you. I know it's hard but staying positive helps the body. 

    I'll let you ladies know on Thursday what the verdict is. Xoxo

  • @LSatturo126 i know i am trying to stay positive hopeully the endo i had in 2013 i believe was very mild will not affect my ivf outcome which i think i will be taking im thinking of asking my doctor for a possibly lap to see if its there i just want ro go into ivf with no issues for best success cause its all oop for me so i cant do i so many time as i cant afford it i still have to tey to get a loan or a credit card 
  • Yes well they will never do the retrieval if they see a low amount like 1 or 2. But as far as the visits cost I'm not sure. The bug amount of money is the retrieval. Also get a saline test, it sometimes tells you how your cervix is too.

  • @Hoping4Success I wish I could share some info minus the endo part for now.  I also have to decide if I skip my next IUI and go straight to ivf...will also be out of pocket BUT it annoys me how is low AMH NOT a medical condition.  We have to act fast or no baby!  I have 10yrs on u and I'm at .30 so don't feel like my odds are that much better.  I'd love to say I feel pregnant right now, but I feel the same as every month.  Will try to still keep the hope alive.  I kno its not easy!!

  • @capps42613 i know i have ro stay positive but i feel like i will never see a positive ugh congrats on baby boy so happy for you
  • @LSatturo126 I did use herbs during my IVF Cycle along with acupuncture. I did CoQ10 and DHEA to prepare for retrieval and I did Red raspberry leaf to to help thicken my lining for the transfer. I also took some chinese herbs that were prescribed by my acupuncturist to help with egg quality because as we all know with low AMH, quality over quantity is the name of the game. 

    I'm loving all the good news I'm seeing on this forum.

  • Soo much on my mind i have a major headache from too much info processed so my appointment was OK re said given my endo and low amh she wants to move to ivf the latest 3 months she doesnt want me to wait any longer she is worried my amh will drop because if endo is coming back that ls why my amh is low the good thing is that it may not be back because back in 2013 my amh ws .39 then .43 in septemeber and back at .39 so it hasnt dropped major it really has stayed the same for 3 years anywho soo she is recommending mini ivf or ivf up ti me she is also saying i can try one more iui and she will make the dosage higher so those are my choices im like in tears because im terrified i have no money for all this and my time is ticking fast too she also seems very positive immy eggs have a chance abd thats why she is oushing for it so i dont run out if time and really have to use donor godness idk what to do honestly???

    @hoping4success I would say skip IUI. It really is a waste of time. I don't know one person on this low AMH board that had a BFP doing IUI. I know it's all overwhelming but it'll be worth it in the end. At least you have two ovaries to work with. I only have one with low AMH and so far I got my one frozen and hopefully more once I get the call after chromosome testing in a month. Best of luck.

    @wenikilina I'm so super excited with the twin news! Any new Sonos to share? I hope I get twinsies too! 
     *****Trigger Warning, Loss and Pregnancy Mentioned*****

    Married my best friend in 2013 (I was 33), After 1.5yrs of TTC got my first BFP naturally on 2/7/15 but ended in DNC on 4/14/15, not viable. In 2015 I was 35...Found out I had only one working ovary, which was DOR, with scar tissue and I ovulated at 7 days, with a small cervix opening and a tilted uterus... Needing an RE was a must.....IUI#1 Sept 2015,,, BFN IUI#2 Oct 2015,,,BFN IUI#3 Dec 2015,,BFN IVF#1 2/1/16- BFN IVF# on 3/29/16 retrieval only - 1 healthy chromosome tested embryo. IVF#3 retrieval 4/23/16- 0 healthy embryos. IVF#4 retrieval 6/17/16- 1 healthy embryo. FET#1-Transferred Both Healthy Embryos on 9/6/16 BFP!! 9/15/16 Beta 22.3, 9/17/16 Beta 60.5 & 9/19/16 Beta 195! 1st US on 9/23/16, only 1 Gast Sac & Yolk Sac found, US 9/30/16 US 6wk 1day saw and heard Heartbeat 120bpm!! EDD 5/25/2017 Had a healthy baby girl via CSection on 5/18/17 8lbs 15oz. Then four months later got pregnant naturally and had a healthy baby boy on 6/13/18 7lbs 6oz (at age 38). Needless to say, anything is possible! I'm keeping my signature open so it gives someone out there hope that anything is possible. Message me if you ever have any questions or just need someone to talk to. DON'T GIVE UP!

  • @Hoping4Success I don't personally have any experience with IUI's since we had to skip them completely & go to IVF. But the success rate I've seen here on "the bump" is not good at all (like @LSatturo126 said). I feel terrible for the tons of women that get disappointed month after month bc insurance REQUIRES them to try up to 6 IUI's before moving to IVF. Sounds like your RE is very optimistic for you!

  • I would go straight to ivf. We did 3 iuis all bfn and a fourth where we never got to iui due to no response to meds. 

    Yay @capps42613 on the little boy. We are also having a boy!!!
  • @LSatturo126 yes i agree skip ivf chances are so lowand with the endo even lower im sure the endo is back ugh anywho yes my re is onlt recommending iui for financial reason due to me not having the money for ivf but id rather save the 1500 towards ivf in sept oct hopefully 

    @capps42613 so you didnt even have a chance to do iui due to low amh or? Ya im all out of pocket so i dont need to do so many iuis before ivf totally up to me.

    @rachlee2010 i am thinking of going for ivf sept october and try naturally until then socstressfull did u have success with ivf or have you not done it yet?
  • @Hoping4Success DH had severe MFI so it was more so him as to why we had to do IVF + ICSI, although it was a double whammy for us. Miracles do happen.

  • @capps42613 oh ok so ur amh wasnt low wait so ur prego now?
  • Hello everyone! I'm new here. I found this thread on Saturday after searching for IVF results for low AMH. I read through all 35+ pages and really appreciate everyone who has shared their journey here. @LSatturo126, after reading everything, I got so caught up in your journey that I registered to leave a note and wish you well. Little did I know I'd have to wait several days to leave a comment, but here we are. 

    As for myself, I'm 38, DH is turning 30 in a few months. We have been married a little over three years, and until a couple years ago I thought I never wanted children. I had a tubal ligation in my 20s, so IVF is our only option. I had my baseline labs in May, and the picture was much drearier than I thought. My FSH is 12 and my AMH is an appalling 0.24 ng/mL. My AFC was 20, so our RE thinks our chances might be better than they look on paper, so I'm holding out hope that I can overcome these crusty old lady ovaries. 

    We are starting our first IVF cycle, which is an estrace/antagonist protocol. According to the calendar, our egg retrieval should be around mid-July. We are entirely OOP, so we don't have funds for more than two cycles. I'm trying to find peace with any outcome, and DH and I are open to adoption if this doesn't work out. It was encouraging to read all of the experiences in this thread, so thanks to all for sharing. 


  • @Hoping4Success yes @capps42613 and @rachlee2010 both are pregnant doing IVF. All the ladies on here have gotten pregnant only through IVF. There is still hope so don't give up yet. Trust me when I say if IUI is going to cost you$1500 then save it towards IVF. Your chances are much higher. I wasted four IUIs and a few grand for nothing. Make sure your RE has a high dose protocol. My first dr had me on the lowest doses and that did squat for me only heartache. My second dr went hard core and I was responsive. 

    @heather041413 thank you for the well wishes. I'm sorry you find yourself here but I'm glad we can all be here for eachother. Your AMH level doesn't sound so bad. I believe one or two ladies on here were like 0.1 or so and they are pregnant. Don't give up hope just yet. Make sure your RE puts you on high doses especially you being all out of pocket. @ShayLatrice and I both worked so much better being aggressive with our meds... Right shay? She will tell you a thing or two for sure. It's at the beginning of this thread. So "try" to be positive, be strong, and be patient. I'm here if you ever need to talk. Or message me privately.

  • @Hoping4Success yes, I'm 28 years old and have a low AMH of 0.5 (in addition to my DH MIF). I had 4 good follicles going into ER, retrieved 6 eggs, but only 2 fertilized. We had success on our 1st IVF (fresh cycle) attempt (2 transferred, 1 actually implanted). I'm currently 16 weeks.

    @heather041413 Welcome! Hope your IF journey doesn't last much longer. Keep us posted!!
