I am 25 and my AMH is so low they have told me I only have a year of fertility left and will go through the menopause before I'm 30 or in my very early 30s so I haven't yet but will do. What information are you looking for??

Everything from the start I guess- i have also put a blog on which has more information on but basically, I went had bloods done 2 weeks ago after a 1.5 yr of missed periods. FSH and LH v high and my oestrogen is very low. Have an appointment next Friday at infertilliy clinic but I have hit bottom today. My boss has just announced that his wife is pregnant and I am just struggling so much. I know its going to be a few weeks of tests etc before we will know what the outcome is going to be but I am frightened as to what else will be the long term complications of this for me x x

yeh, it is very very difficult. I found out new years day, so I am not that far behind you process wise. I wouldn't want to give you any medical advice in case it was wrong, but i definitely understand the hitting rock bottom. I cried every day for two weeks. I tend to go up and down and feel ok, and then depressed, angry, frightened. etc etc. Whats your blog? I may be able to talk to you more on there? I don't know what your exact levels are but my AMH is very very low, but my FSH is ok. They aren't sure whats wrong with me. I will be honest, the NHS is quite slow, I found out Jan 1st, and my consultation isn't until the 26th Feb. If you want treatment quicker, I would think about private treatment, I know its expensive, but european countries are a lot cheaper, like Denmark. like a third of the price. I guess one of the things to think about is whether or not councelling is something you might want? I said i didnt want it to start with, but i seem to be falling into a big dark pit mentally and so i am thinking it might be a good idea. What would you like to know and I can tell you from my experience?

Oh thank you for your comments. Well I was only diagnosed on the 31st January and I have an appointment at our local nhs infertility clinic on the 15th February so I can't fault the process so far. I have a pelvic scan pencilled in on the 5th March but I am going to keep ringing to see if I can get a cancellation. I don't know my exact levels but my fsh and lh are v high and my estrogen is low.

I know how you feel about the dark pit.... I just feel like I'm having a complete breakdown about this. I am trying to keep reminding myself that I am not terminally ill and I have a wonderful husband we both have supportive parents and that it isn't the end of the world if we can't have a family in the hope ill eventually believe it but until we know otherwise then we have to remain positive.

I guess my main concerns are if they will be able to use one of my own eggs, this would be what I would prefer as the idea of having an egg donor even though I would the idea is still frightening me as I almost feel it would be my husbands baby but with someone else as crazy as that sounds!

Thanks for taking the time out to message me, hopefully we can help each other through our journey together on this. X
