Any ladies out there positive natural pregnancies low AMH/ovarian reserve? Feel like giving up

[BECIO]

Hey everyone! Since our failed cycle ending in June been TTC naturally until next NHS funded round in April. No success yet other than a chemical pregnancy in September. I have low AMH/ ovarian reserve. And was wondering has anyone ever had success trying naturally with low AMH/OR? It’s been so draining trying and hoping each month I keep being in two minds keep trying until April or just let it be and not. But I think I will always wonder and hope! Anyone who has gotten pregnant naturally was there anything that helped? I take coq10, DHEA, pregnacare conception. Have Accupuncture once a month can’t afford more! I stopped drinking end caffeine for a couple of months but do have coffee and drink. Found it more stressful and self punishing stopping and then when getting negatives felt like what was the point. Did that make a difference for anyone? Just feeling so fed up and low about it it’s been 3 years now, don’t know how much longer I can keep trying! Feeling really worried about IVF how I will manage another failed cycle so really trying to do everything naturally to get pregnant before. Any advice or ideas I would really appreciate! Thank you xxx

It’s not me so I don’t know if it counts and I know there is always a ‘I have a friend’ story but I genuinely have a friend whose AMH came back as 1 and she was advised to go with donor eggs as she would ‘never have her own baby’ She was 41. So she signed up to a clinic in Greece, had all the consultations and was matched with a donor. She was about to order the drugs and she found out she was pregnant naturally. She was convinced she would miscarry or something would be wrong but her son was born three months ago and is healthy and gorgeous! So it does happen x

Hey yes me! I was diagnosed in peri 6 years ago and deemed infertile.. my AMH was less than 1 it took me a while to accept it but I got there eventually.. a year or so later in March 2017 I was feeling like a period was coming (I don’t get periods) i was pregnant naturally with my daughter unfortunately she was stillborn but it can happen with low AMH as it does fluctuate at my 6weeks post partum with the consultant my AMH was at a normal level and now it’s not again don’t give up just have fun xx

Have you tried decaf coffee? I’m generally a coffee fiend, and I have full on proper bean to cup coffee machine for my habit. I switched to decaf beans - and I can tell the difference but because it’s bean to cup decaf is pretty good. Caffeine can really be a fertility offender so I do suggest it as a good alternative. I also was not really overweight but on the stupid old bmi chart I was 26 and ideally should be 25 so I lost a bit of weight by going low carb… these are all things I did that led to my BFP on a FET. But as for your partner how’s his sperm? Because that was the factor for us and there are things he can do. Give up alcohol, or reduce it greatly. Exercise increases testosterone. And walnuts and Brazil nuts can help motility. It’s not all about what you can do ❤️

It's a good sign you had a chemical. I had 2 chemicals plus blighted ovum before finally getting a good egg. Keep trying until next IVF, you have nothing to lose. You just never know when a good egg comes along. That said....I know how draining it is. Don't worry about coffee intake or all that stuff. I got pregnant while drinking a cup every morning.

Hello, I don't have experience of a pregnancy but I am in a similar situation to you - we had our failed IVF in August and are now trying again naturally before next IVF in April (though money is tight so we will see...) Changes we have made are to our diet - lots more veggies than before, and of course the nuts that were mentioned to helped with husband's motility and more blueberries. I am also on supplements too. I am still having the occasional glass of red wine and odd cup of tea, as long as I'm not kicking the arse out of it I don't see the problem. I have deprived myself of so much the whole time we've been trying to no avail so I think if I follow 80% good diet and 20% to enjoy myself sometimes, then that should be fine. I think with me sometimes the stress of making my body perfect for getting pregnant has done more harm then good >_< Let's see how this works out!
