I feel like my husband and I change our mind about whether to try or not literally every month. I actually don't know my AMH as I was diagnosed with low AMH at 35 and don't want to go back to see how much worse it has gotten. I've been taking DHEA and some other antioxidant supplements (Acai, ubiquinol, etc.) to try to help with egg quality. I'm trying to decide whether to try this month or wait another month until I've been on the supplements for long enough since I've also had 3 losses (2 between DS and DD and one after DD). I've been struggling with not wanting to close the chapter of having more children (I really don't feel done) but also wanting to move onto whatever is next (taking fun vacations to Zika infested lands, sleeping all night long, etc.). And even if I am 100% decided that I want another, there is the whole question of whether it is even physically possible. Trying to just take things day by day.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-amh-40#post-2877219 Tue, 19 Mar 2019 07:25:09 +0000 Ajsmommy 2877219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: 39</p> <p>I got BFP when 39 and turned 40 right after I had DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-amh-40#post-2877151 Mon, 18 Mar 2019 16:35:05 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2877151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: thank you so much for this reminder! You’re so right. Being age 40 and having the low AMH are scary (not to mention my endometriosis). It feels like it might be impossible. But I also strongly feel that we are supposed to and going to have 3 kids! 🤷‍♀️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-amh-40#post-2877150 Mon, 18 Mar 2019 16:33:21 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2877150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@periwinklebee: you’re right! IUI with injectables worked first time with both of our girls! However, I don’t think we want to go that route again. I would, by I think DH is kinda done with treatments and just wants to let what’s meant to be BE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-amh-40#post-2877149 Mon, 18 Mar 2019 16:31:17 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2877149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: how old were you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-amh-40#post-2877053 Mon, 18 Mar 2019 08:56:32 +0000 periwinklebee 2877053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not specifically in this situation but just wanted to wish you :goodluck: :goodluck: :goodluck: I believe I remember from old POAS boards that you responded really well to injectables with both your LOs? Don't know if you're planning to go that route again, but if so I'd guess your past great response is a very encouraging indicator. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-amh-40#post-2877044 Mon, 18 Mar 2019 08:06:07 +0000 pachamama 2877044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I have a very strong opinion that AMH is not the accurate fertility predictor REs try to convince women it is. If you research online I think you will see that it simply not a reliable projecter of egg quality or quantity.<br /> I think you know my story... I am 35, started TTC at 31. I went to one RE for my first son and a different one for my second son. AMH was . 3 and . 1!! FSH through the roof, very few follicles etc. They both told me I had very little chance of getting pregnant naturally. Guess what? I got pregnant 3 times without so much as a clomid 😊 (one miscarriage). No interventions. One son took 9 months the other 13 cycles but still!!<br /> So I just want to say do not be discouraged by amh or any other labs. They are NOT the sole determinor of your fertility. I almost wishd I had never gotten tested, they caused me so much stress! Sometimes, especially when we're a little older, it just takes longer!! Thinking of you. Reach out anytime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-amh-40#post-2877037 Mon, 18 Mar 2019 07:03:30 +0000 Ajsmommy 2877037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meeee!! I think my AMH was almost non existent.... we did 6 mos of fertility treatments and then gave up. Obvi they were all BFN. </p> <p>The first month with no interventions... I GOT A BFP... soo it is possible.<br /> I'll look back through my old posts to see what my amh was.... and i'll update here.</p> <p>ETA: AMH was .02<br /> <a href="https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ama-high-fsh-123-low-amh02-dor-very-long-and-as-detailed-as-possible#post-2590702" rel="nofollow">https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ama-high-fsh-123-low-amh02-dor-very-long-and-as-detailed-as-possible#post-2590702</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-amh-40#post-2877005 Sun, 17 Mar 2019 14:18:48 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2877005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: yeah, I hope it’s not true!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-amh-40#post-2877003 Sun, 17 Mar 2019 13:14:08 +0000 LAZB 2877003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not helpful to you since I'm 35 and not really answering your question, but I hope it doesn't decrease that much, mine was .18 last year 😬! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-amh-40#post-2877002 Sun, 17 Mar 2019 13:05:36 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2877002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else here 40+ with low AMH? When we were seeing an RE 2 years ago for our second daughter, my AMH was .29 😬. I read that it decreases by about .1 per year. So, it’s probably about .09 now. I guess that pretty much means I’m done and have very little chance for a third. I’m 40. We are happy with our family as it is, but would happily welcome a third. Just wondering if anyone else is in my situation or similar or has been in the past. :heart: </p>
