Sensitive! Picture warning, hope for anyone with really low AMH and a husband with terrible sperm!

I hope this brings hope and also want to share how I think I finally got my little miracle!

I was 36 when diagnosed with really low amh for my age. Mu husband also had terrible sperm ( low everything!) We had been trying for a couple of years and only got naturally pregnant once which ended at 6 weeks.

We tried ivf and after getting a top grade 5aa blast it didnt stick.

I was devastated and thought it would never happen especially as I was heading towards perimenopause and the consultant said we would never get pregnant naturally.

After being in a despair hole I decided to change my attitude and actually believe I could get pregnant for the first time ever. I started visualisation and fertility yoga. Wore a harimaki and put me and hubby on so many supplements we rattled!

The supplements I took are;

- A good prenatal multivitamin ( either proceive max or pregnacre)

- ubiquinol 400mg

- red maca

- vit E 800 IU ( I have thin lining)

- DHA ( not dhea)

- extra vit D 2000iu

- bee propolis

- extra B6 to extend luteal phase

- L'Arginine 1000mg ( I'm a vegetarian)

- calc fluor 6x ( meant to help implantation)

- greens tablets which included wheatgrass/ spriulina

For husband:

-Proceive max

- black maca

- b12

- high dose vit c 1000mg with extra zinc

- fenugreek

- ubiquinol 200mg

- garlic supplements

- L'Arginine 500mg

- royal jelly

To my absolute shock we fell naturally pregnant a few months after my failed IVF cycle .

I stressed and panicked every single day of being pregnant waiting for my dream and good luck to come crashing down but it didn't! Little Betsy was born 11th May 5 weeks early after my waters broke.

She is perfect.

Please don't give up hope, I hope this post helps and doesn't cause any upset, I'm really sorry if it triggers anyone.. I know, I've been there too and I am sending so much luck and hugs to anyone on this incredibly hard and lonely journey. Xxx

Congratulation! I needed to see this today - very low AMH and I'm rattling with supplements too ahead of second cycle in Sept. Trying and give myself the best possible chance and my 39th is looming. Plan B is egg donation but I'm not quite ready to give up on having my own genetic child. Its wonderfully encouraging to hear it can happen (and happen naturally!)
