Who knows where this will lead us, but after being four days late on AF, I decided to take a test or two this morning. A BFP🥺. I have extremely low AMH and have been told on numerous occasions that I will need to consider donor eggs.
I’ve actually been waiting for AF in order to take the contraceptive pill to start my free NHS round.
I’m posting this to give my fellow Low AMHers hope, it happens!! I could have quite easily stopped trying naturally as the mood has been killed by the looming treatment - but keep trying!!
On a side note, I had experienced strong pains in my abdominal area from last Monday night up until yesterday - once or twice a day, to the point it would make me feel sick and I’d have to take paracetamol to dull the pain. Can this be normal? Being part of this forum has been great, but it’s opened my eyes to so many issues that us ladies deal with in early pregnancy incl. chemicals, ectopics etc and so it’s only making me panic!

Hi CJohns Great news ! Some women do have abdominal discomfort + feeling sick and it will settle down This will also be a stressful time for you so just take it easy
Hi there. Firstly, congratulations! How exciting. I just wanted to say I’ve had cramps straight away from embryo transfer, I’m 8+5 pregnant now and still getting them but everything was ok at my viability scan. I know yours is natural rather than IVF but once it’s in, the process is exactly the same. Done ladies get cramps and some don’t, so I just wanted to give you a bit of reassurance. Keeping my fingers crossed for you x
Ah thank you. That does reassure me a little. I slept two hours last night as I had two long stints of aches - so doctor google did not help me this morning😥, but spoke to my clinic earlier and although they’re sure it’s probably normal, they’ll arrange for a 6/7 week viability scan even though it’s a natural pregnancy 🤞🏻. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly ☺️ xx
Congrats! I also have extremely low AMH and got pregnant naturally while waiting for DE transfer. Low AMH doesn't mean you can't get pregnant, it just means that conventional IVF won't be helpful in a sense that you won't get multiple eggs at retrieval. I understand the stress you are going through but hang in there and see if you can book a HCG test somewhere.
