Success after IF

Success with AMH?

Hello!  I am from the TTTC board and needed some success stories to boost my spirits; I really appreciate anyone who responds!

DH I have been trying for a little over a year. I am 29 he is 34. This month was packed with tests because I started seeing an RE. Ultrasounds look good, the sono w/saline was normal, normal hsg, normal progesterone. However, my FSH came back high (she likes it under 10 mine came back 11.2) and my AMH low (she said someone my age usually has 4 to 5, but she likes 1 or higher; mine was 0.22). I am bummed about the AMH was wondering if anyone else had similar numbers with success in pregnancy.

Also, DH had an s/a, which showed a little low (she likes 40, but his were in the 30s and he only produced 1ml). My RE wants to proceed with IUI next cycle. Anyone with low AMH have luck with IUI as well?

Me: 29; DH: 35
Married 7/19/09; TTC since 3/12
S/A: low volume, count considered borderline
CD3 B/W & U/S: AMH = .22, FSH = 11; HSG: all clear
Dx: DOR
4/16/13: IUI #1 = BFN
5/10/13: IUI #2 = BFP, m/c 5w5d
6/28/13: IUI #3 = BFN

Re: Success with AMH?

  • I concieved when my AMH was 0.54 through Clomid/IUI. (Now my AM is undetectable..grr.)  The thing you have on your side is youth so even if you have fewer eggs, they are likely to be good quality.

    What was your AFC (antral follicle

  • I was 39 with borderline high FSH, maybe it was right at 10, very low AMH, and a husband with borderline count, motility and 0% morph and IUI worked for us on our second try.  Crazy things happen. And, AMH, although an indicator of ovarian reser

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

  • I am also 29 and have an AMH of .68 but my FSH was 6 point something.  I would agree with PP's in that age is definitely in your favor (that is what I have always been told anyway).  

    I'm also confused about the SA.  His count is a

  • I agree with the other ladies -- having a lower AMH at age 29 does not necessarily indicate that your egg quality is poor, just that your reserve may be declining and time is not on your side.

  • I agree with PPs. Also, I am glad that IBackBevo responded. She has done a ton of research about the AMH test recently. If it was me, I would try IUI. If your RE didn't think it had a chance of working, he wouldn't suggest it. GL!

  • Thanks to all who replied! My RE didn't give me numbers in terms of AFC, but I remember her commenting on my cd3 u/s that she didn't see as many as she'd like. And, in terms of DH's count, it's 30 million in 1 mL. He only produced 1 mL for both times he h

  • Hello, I'm lurking from the November 2013 board. I got my BFP on our third IUI with injectables Menopur and trigger shot. I'm also 29 with low AMH around 1.2 but everything else is fine.

    DH's count was initially 23 million when we first had
