Considering IVF - help!

[luthien]

I know I've said hi before and you've all been really welcoming!

So I have endometriosis and am 36, we have been TTC for about 2 years, I lose count sometimes. My AMH results are in and they're marked as low 5.6 pmol/L What does this mean?

I've read up about it and found it so confusing because it says it's dependent on the time of the month, any surgery to remove endo, age, diet, family history of early menopause. I've had surgery to remove my endo in Jan, they also drained and removed an ovarian endometrial cyst. The test was done on day 2 of my cycle. I don't know about family early menopause as both my mother and maternal grandmother had hysterectomies at about 35 (it was the "done" thing back then, they say for any "womens problems").

We don't have any children so we have seen a fertility specialist, whom says all should be good for IVF pending a few things. I need to get my thyroid levels down to below 2.2, mine is currently 7.7 so I have medication. Also I need to get my BMI to below 30 to qualify for NHS IVF, we can go private if needed, my BMI is dropping now I'm on thyroid medication. In the mean time we're carrying on trying naturally as recommended by our specialist. Hopefully I can get my thyroid levels down in about 3 months.

My hubby has been checked and his sperm count, concentration and agility are all really good, the morphology is a little on the low side but the specialist said nothing to worry about as all the other factors are really high.

Any advice really appreciated. Also we're happy to take any supplements / vitamins / creams / lubes which could help while trying naturally for the next few months in the run up to IVF. So if there's any you've found beneficial let me know.
