Low AMH

abarrett

Hey,

Wondering what experiences folks are having with a low AMH - my doc said it is at .99 (age 33) which is very discouraging.

I am new to this, so I am looking to the community for knowledge (and support). Some questions going through my mind:

a. Is it even possible for me to conceive?
b. Have others been in my situation (with similar factors)?
c. Is AMH the single most important thing to focus on? Should I still have hope?

Deep down, I know that I should and will remain hopeful, but getting news like that is a bit hard to take especially since this is my first time, first child (hopefully).

Thanks for the responses.

Abarrett,

Don't get discouraged!! AMH isn't everything! There are a lot of other factors involved in this process. I'll be 39 in a month and my AMH is 0.29. I'm actually going in for 2nd egg retrieval in a few hours. My first retrieval, my MD was able to get 2 eggs. They were both fertilized and made it to embryos. Unfortunately, I didn't get pregnant, however this protocol that I'm on now has worked better for me and I have 7 follicles this go-around. We'll find out later how many mature eggs he is able to retrieve! Just stay positive and have faith!

Thank you for the positive vibes!

Good luck to you!

I am going to try an IUI (with meds), and hope that yields success. As I learn more about it, I do realize that I have more of a chance to conceive than I imagined - I think the pressure of all the tests and numbers can be a bit overwhelming and defeating.

I am trying to tap into my Zen state and realize that all is not lost, I cant let the numbers and jargon push me down (easier said than done sometimes, but I am getting there).

Once again, thanks and good luck!
