Amh below average 😞

[Littleone8319]

Well got my amh results and period today ,my amh result wasn't great it was only 4 😞which is below average for my age but period is here so got my next appointment for day 21 .give me hope has anyone had a low amh and still got good quality eggs and positive outcome?

[emu2016]

Hey little one. My AMH is about your level too. High FSH. Totally wrecked me. Especially with the options available. My appointment to start IVF is next week, where we will agree dates etc. I'm reminded it only takes 1 good quality egg, but I can completely see where your thinking is. It's heartbreaking and mind numbing. I guess we just have to be hopeful. I'll let you know how I go on. But there was a post similar to yours a few weeks ago on here with women coming forward expressing successful cycles. Big hugs xx

[Littleone8319 in reply to emu2016]

Thank you and yes please let me know how you get on ,now looking to see if there is things that can improve egg quality,it's just making me dis heartened because I have no tubes due to ectopics and now this ,as you say it just takes one good egg so fingers crossed for both of us xx

The most difficult thing is being in the positive mind set with such poor odds xx

I also have low amh and have just been through my first cycle, although it was sadly a negative they managed to get two eggs, one of which fertilised X

Sorry to hear that button-123 😞Xx

Hi little one. I'm 33 and my AMH is also low at 4ish. I went through my first IVF cycle in October and only one embryo make it to blastocyst. But happy to say that I'm now 20 weeks pregnant with that solitary blasto 😁 Remember it only takes one. I know it's hard to be positive ( I had some really dark days) but it's all about quality not quantity. Sending you best wishes and hope you manage to get that much longer for BFP. I also had acupuncture during treatment, the scratch and the embryoscope, pretty sure they all helped in some way xxx

[Hidden in reply to Murph82]

Hi murph82 and congrats, do you mind if I ask what protocol and medication you where on? X

[Murph82 in reply to Hidden]

I was on long protocol with Buserelin and Menopur. Think I was on 375 of Menopur. God it wasn't even that long ago but I've forgotten 😩 I didn't respond well at first and thought it was all over. The clinic debated whether they would up my menopur further but didn't in the end. I finally started responding and 7 eggs were collected. I was amazed with that amount as I was told I'd be lucky to have 3. Only one made it to blasto though. Still, I'm so thankful I've been lucky on my first cycle. I'm wishing you all the best of luck xxx

[Littleone8319 in reply to Murph82]

Murph82 thank you so much for that message gave me hope and congrats that is truely amazing 💕,I keep telling myself that it only takes one ,am doing the fertility massage and she's told me it helps but been talking to someone who does acupuncture and specialises in fertility so going to see her .xx

[Murph82 in reply to Littleone8319]

There's quite a lot of research showing the benefits of acupuncture with IVF. I had 2 sessions on embryo transfer day, one before and one after. I honestly believe that helped the little one implant. I had sessions before and after that but those 2 were the most important x

[Hidden]

Thanks murph, I was on short protocol and 450 menopur and centrotide I didn't respond that well had 4 folicles and 2 eggs. I also had Acupunture for 8 months prior and around treatment. I have my follow up appointment soon so going to ask if there's a different protocol or medication I can try also hoping to have the scratch this time xxx

I haven't had my bfp yet but managed to get 3 blastocysts from last cycle. First back was bfn but feel positive about having 2 frostie blasts. My amh is 5.1 at 37 and my consultant is happy with my response to process so hopefully just a matter if time. Low amh doesn't mean you don't have good quality eggs, just that you have a few less of them. Lots of success stories out there with your amh level xx

[Littleone8319 in reply to anna0908]

Thank you 💕And good luck with the next try ,am a bit emontial but I think time of month has a lot to do with it am just glad I have these chat sites and have people that understand and going through same process xx

Try to stay hopeful. After 3 miscarriages from natural conceptions, I found out my amh was around 3. I was 36 at the time and last Sep/Oct I did long protocol IVF. I didn't respond too well - only one ovary worked and gave me 4 follicles, of which 3 were mature and all 3 fertilised. 2 of these made it to blasto and here I am, recently turned 37 and I'm almost 22 weeks with twins! I didn't do acupuncture but I did go to counselling and tried to stay as positive as I could, ate well and exercised. I just had faith in modern medicine and had a good feeling about the whole thing. When you do end up with so few follicles it can feel like a lot is riding on this to be successful and there are times when it's difficult. It's a long journey but hopefully you will have a positive outcome. As Anna says, amh relates to egg reserve, not necessarily the quality so hopefully you have good quality eggs that will make it.

[Littleone8319 in reply to Tlove]

Aw tlove that is amazing thank you so much for sharing and congradulations 😁💕I will try stay positive as what's ment to be will be as my mother keeps telling me,I suffer depression and get my self worked up and stressed quite easy so this news was another blow but this made me smile ,am doing fertility massage which is helping a lot and taking walks with my wee fur baby and thinking of taking up yoga,I will be doing the counselling through out treatment which am hoping will help.all the best for rest of you pregnancy 👶🏻xx

[Tlove in reply to Littleone8319]

Oh yes - yoga is great! I'm doing pregnancy yoga and find it really helps. When you get your bfp though they recommend waiting until 15 or 16 weeks before you do the pregnancy yoga. I did nothing in the first trimester apart from walking. Good that you have a furbaby to take on walks, that will help too. Counselling definitely helps, I've had some sessions since I had the second mc and through the IVF treatment. Am thinking of going again soon as my head is now filled with how I'm going to cope with 2 little babies!

[ardnek]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, do AMH levels not show how many eyes you have and not the quality. My result was low too but the way the doctor described it, I still ovulate every month with good eggs, however I will hit menopause before I'm 40.

I'm still new to all this.

[Melaineh]

Hi my amh was same did Ivf was uncucsesfull , booked in again and enjoyed the few months before starting again then I fell naturally , xxx

[Datak]

I have the same AMH (4) and an unsuccessful funded IVF behind me. I have just booked into a mild stim ivf clinic with the thinking that quantity is never going to work for me so I can only hope to maximize quality. Fingers crossed - this is our last throw of the dice really, so it was a huge decision. Good luck to all facing the same decisions and congrats to those of you who serve as beacons of hope by having positive outcomes
