Looks like MFI was the least of our problems.

i don't have to look further than my sig to see why IVF #1 was such an epic disaster.

My AMH is 0.5

gymnst1013 · January 2010

Oh Gen, I'm so sorry

I don't know much about AMH - what can be done for that?

sescms2004 · January 2010

I am so sorry you got this news. BUT.....it is not a death sentence, and please don't let it define you or ruin your hope & faith. 4 months prior to our IVF cycle, my AMH was .7....not that far off from yours. It can and does still happen for those w/ lower AMH. You may not have as many eggs (we only had 5 mature), but they can still be great quality! Please don't give up.

I am sorry. (( hugs))

wiscgirl95 · January 2010

Oh no! I'm so sorry! But don't give up hope. I'm sure your doctors know exactly how to fix this! Good luck!

svp1537 · January 2010

I'm sorry. Hopefully your RE can help you understand what the next best steps are! Don't give up- this number doesn't mean you have to!

Best of luck

Did you speak directly to your Dr. ?

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I'm so sorry. I hope your RE comes up with a great plan.

patchen30 · January 2010

I'm so sorry ((((hugs)))). At least now your RE has more information to stim you for better results for IVF #2. I don't know a ton about this, but from what I've read, I think that number is something that's definitely workable.

yodasmistress · January 2010

I am sorry to read this. However, 0.5 isn't 0. You may still find success with the right protocol!

jds0521 · January 2010

I'm so sorry Gen. I am keeping you in my T&P.

floridakat · January 2010

Don't give up! I'm at .64 and they can adjust your protocol to account for that! Knock on wood, my first IVFs going okay so far. There is hope!

mrshoppy_1231 · January 2010

I'm so sorry - I don't know much about AMH either but it sounds like from other ladies there is still hope. You are in my T&P ((hugs))

MrsP71506 · January 2010

I don't know much about this but it seems like the other ladies are saying that this doesn't mean you are out of the game. Sounds like something that your RE will be able to work with.

good luck!

Tarahville · January 2010

I am so very sorry. I don't know anything about AMH, but you're in my thoughts. ((hugs))

Mrs.Johns · January 2010

I'm so sorry, Gen. It does sound like there is still hope from what other ladies have said and what I googled. Please don't give up just yet. ((hugs))

you and LCB are my beacons right now, whether you want to be or not.

thank you flokat - and everyone else.

i really appreciate it.

ccbanana · January 2010

I'm sorry Gen.

BigHairQueen · January 2010

I'm sorry (hugs)

nikinikinine · January 2010

Gen, is this a DOR Dx? I thought you had a reasonable amount of eggs retrieved at ER (am I forgetting?)

Also I just Dr. Googled and they said that AMH doesn't necessarily indicate anything about egg quality. This is at least a good thing.

What are they saying for IVF #2?

ChiTown Bridget · January 2010

I am so sorry. (((Big Hugs)))

newsbaby · January 2010

I don't know anything about this, but please don't give up hope just yet.

Echloe · January 2010

I'm so sorry. But now that they know this, hopefully your RE can adjust your meds to compensate.

2becomes3 · January 2010

I'm so sorry you got bad news Gen (((HUGS)))

Don't give up, hopefully things will be much better for IVF#2 now that you know more about your situation and how to treat it.

Niki - they were threatening cancellation my entire cycle because my E2 wasn't going up, even though the follicles were growing and the lining was responding.

Finally at retrieval, my E2 was 1000 and we got 5 mature eggs. But it was touch and go until then.

My FSH is normal and my AFC was 14-15 this cycle. But even so, half way through the cycle the RE started talking about DOR because of the way I was responding. I thought it was the lupron - i guess it still might have been, but only partly.

I've only spoken to my nurse so far. My doctor was in surgery when they called. I'm expecting to hear from him tomorrow.

My nurse knew how badly i wanted the results, that's the only reason why she told me. He hasn't even reviewed them yet.

I'm so scared right now.

raskind17 · January 2010

Gen I am so sorry that you are going through this right now. I know when the nurse had called me back last cycle and told me my FSH was as high as it was, I was almost in the bathroom ready to throw up because I felt that that was it and I was screwed! I of course then went online and googled for hours and hours while balling my eyes out!!

Finally I called the office and told the answering service to page my Dr. at like 830 at night! I have to have faith that with all the meds/procedures etc., somehow I will have that healthy baby.

I know its hard and I am not saying we are in the situation but just know that whatever it is, I am sure in the end it will be fine. They can do so much these days!

I honestly say have the Dr paged. We have been through so much and pay a lot of $$ to see your RE. You deserve a call back. That is what they are there for.

Again, I am so sorry that you are feeling these awful thoughts and thinking the worst! I know it is not fun!!

((hugs))

I know he'll call me tomorrow. There's no point to calling him tonight, when he hasn't even sat down and looked at my results yet.

thank you for the hugs.

I'll update after I hear from him.
