Starting my injectable meds/IUI cycle. Had my day 3 labs today. My AFC was 9. The last time my FSH was checked was back in 2014. The highest was 8.58, which I thought was bad. Now, I know that was quite good! My AMH was 1.34 back then and is now .29. My insurance will only cover more than one IUI with injectables cycle if my FSH is 16 or under. Fingers crossed!
Anyone else get nervous waiting for test results like this? Anyone know how much FSH increases over time or how it corresponds to AMH?

@CatchAFallingStar: I have very low AMH (.45), low AFC, but normal FSH. I don't think they are directly correlated.
Good luck!

@CatchAFallingStar: I have no experience with this, but I'm waiting on results for some testing for my son. I know how hard it is not to be anxious as you wait. Thinking of you!

@jhd: wishing you all the best for your son... I've been there, too, with my daughter - what kind of test is it?

Don't stress!! The reliability of FSH as an indicator of anything is really questionable. It's validity has been debunked lately. I heard many times during my IF journey that FSH doesn't mean much. She is the most important predictor of egg quality followed by AMH (which is also not foolproof). I think you know this but I got pregnant with a 33 FSH! I was never lower than a 14.

@pachamama: thanks! I don't think I'd be as nervous if it didn't determine my insurance coverage

@CatchAFallingStar: he's having some genetic testing done that will maybe connect the dots between some medical issues he has had. He's totally healthy just now, but just some info we need. I totally didn't mean to come into your thread and vent my own problems! I just want you to know I understand the worry that comes with waiting on these types of things, where there's nothing at all you can do. I hope you get the best possible news and can move forward with your TTC plans. I'm thinking of you.

@CatchAFallingStar: Does your insurance have a threshold for FSH?! That's ridiculous and a poor predictor of anything!!

@pachamama: yes! Stupid Aetna. The cutoff is 19. I'll be getting my results today.

Result was 8.8, so I'm feeling a little calmer now. Thanks, ladies!
