Low AMH

TRS48 · September 2013

I just got my CD3 test results back, which I had to do on CD4 b/c of Labor Day, and my AMH is "low" at .74. Everything else came back normal. Google has me in a panic... do I have barely any eggs left? I'm 27 and ovulate each month... I'm stressing. Do I have to basically go straight to IVF? Or is that even an option?Can anyone with more knowledge on this let me know what they think? I've read so much that my brain is spinning and I'm upset by it all. Thanks.

Don't panic yet.

I would see what your doctor has to say first, he should be able to advise you on the best treatment plan given your diagnosis. Yes, .74 is low, but I have seen women have successful IVF cycles with lower AMH. With low AMH you might need a different protocol and higher stims, but not all hope is lost yet.

I agree with PP. .74 is low, but your doctor should create a plan that suits you. If you are not already seeing an RE, request a referral.

I don't really have any advice, but I just wanted to say that I am sorry that you got not so great results. I am sure that your doctor will be able put a plan together to help you. As PPs said, there is no reason to lose hope. I wish you all the best.

Hi. Please don't panic. I recently was diagnosed with low AMH also. Mine is .33 and I am 31. I have a 22 month old daughter and I would be willing to bet my AMH was at about your level when I conceived her. It took me 6 months and 1 round of low dose clomid to get her so fairly easy. I cried and still panic with my low AMH but my doctor is very optimistic. He considers my levels borderline low (everything on line says its doner egg low. Do yourself a favor and don't google it. That's my doctors advice as well) so really your levels are just kinda low. Just not ideal but far from bad. Also you are 27. You may have less eggs then the average 27 year old but they are all probably good quality because you are young. My doctor has not even mentioned ivf or donor eggs. Right now he has me in a low dose of femara ( I also ovulate on my own) and we are doing trigger shot and iui. He says that by doing this , that brings me to about the same chances of getting pregnant as a normal couple. It is so scary to get this diagnosis but I'm telling you with everything else normal and slightly low amh, you will probably be put on clomid and told to do timed intercourse and if that dies not work then iui. Also it's good info to know because if you want more than one child, you should probably do that within the next 2 years or so. Amh is a very new test and all doctors are not all in agreement with what it means exactly. But you are far from hopeless. You have many things on your side. I would not even think ivf yet. I wish you so much luck and please, step away from google. I mean it. It will put you in a bad place and you need to be really healthy relaxed and positive.

+1. Please don't let Dr. Google freak you out. .74 is lowish, but AMH is only one measure of ovarian reserve. Antral follicle count (AFC) and FSH are also good markers, and if your numbers came back normal for those, then that's promising. Also, at the reproductively youngish age of 27, even if you have slightly diminished ovarian reserve (and I'm not AT ALL suggesting you do!), the eggs you do have are more likely to be chromosomally normal than those of a woman of a more advanced age.

Again, please don't panic. Did you have the Cycle Day 3 testing because you've been TTGP for a while? Speak to the doctor who ordered this testing and request a referral to an RE.

Thank you all so much. I had a few crying bouts yesterday after I got done googling and reading things I did not want to read... I am trying to be positive but am so nervous. My RE is supposedly "not too concerned" (according to his nurse I spoke with) because everything else came back normal (FSH 5.7) but I cant help to worry in the back of my mind. I am so glad I listened to my gut (after researching my charts) and went to an RE earlier than some people suggest and got this CD3 bloodwork done... It really helps to hear other people's success stories because they really give me hope. Thank you all so much for your kind words and stories... it means the world to me. I have an appointment next month again so I am hoping to discuss this further with my RE...

Testing in the third month with no pre existing conditions. That is a new land-speed record.

Really... you have absolutely no idea what I've been through, nor my medical history, so don't jump to make quick judgements on my decisions about my own life. Please give me the same respect I give you (and everyone else here).

I understand that you may not want your complete medical history in your signature but including that kind of info is helpful if you are asking for advice about protocols or treatments or test results.

I hope that your doctor can answer all your test result questions when you discuss this with him/her and come up with a plan. Best of luck to you!

Thank you @BlackBrooks, I appreciate it.
