I don't have a success story (yet!) but i am in a similar situation to you, so will follow to see if anyone comments ;)

My AMH is 1.3 and have just completed second round of ICSI, unfortunately both cycles failed with nothing to transfer. Like you, only 1 egg fertilised on both rounds but embryo didn't develop properly after day 3. Unfortunately we are also dealing with MFI - husbands sperm count very low and badly fragmented. I have read tons of stuff on low AMH, and nothing to suggest we can't get pregnant, although it may just take longer. From the research i've read there is nothing to suggest low AMH equates to bad quality of eggs.

I am on a number of supplements to help with quality - DHEA/COQ10 Ubiquinol and soon adding in Resveratrol. Wishing you lots of luck!

Hi Twobaby,

I just wanted to reply to your post as when we started our IVF journey I was devastated to learn I had an AMH less than 0.4 it was off the scale. I read every journal article I could find (I'm THAT person ha!) And true, it can be harder to get pregnant, with fewer eggs there's fewer "rolls of the dice" each go. But there is no reliable way to test egg quality, which is by far the most important factor.

We were only given 1 round of IVF due to my age (38) and low AMH. But we were successful that round. I had 2 follicles. 2 eggs and both fertilised. One of those was a blighted ovum and poor quality. The other was our daughter, now 7 months old for whom we are so grateful.

There is hope! If you are younger than me you have an even better chance. I was advised by my clinic not to take DHEA (conflicting advice on this one, but some clinics do recommend it, others don't) but after doing my own research I ignored them and took it anyway. I also paid attention to my diet and exercise and just generally tried to stay healthy.

Wishing you and Dani2711 the very best of luck xxx

I suppose it depends on if you are paying or getting free. My AMH was 0.3. As we had to pay for treatment we went straight to donor eggs and although I was producing eggs the quality would have been poor. I’m older so that was a consideration for us. I’m now sitting with my wee girl on my knee and after stressing about how I would feel, would she look like me etc I can honestly say I am blown away and mY heart bursts with love for her and at how amazing she is. All my worries dispelled. I’m just so pleased we have her I couldn’t imagine a life without her.

I do remember the difficult choices, the upset with very low AMH but honestly if someone told me I could feel so much love it would have made everything easier back then.

Good luck to you my lovely whichever way you go xxx

Hi,

I am now 23 weeks pregnant from first time IVF with my own eggs. I did have donor sperm, so maybe the sperm was really good. I have an AMH level of 3.8. I am 39 years old. I was told by a nurse that I had zero chance of getting pregnant through ivf. I think Ivf success depends more on age than AMH levels.
