@spaniellove: Both of my RE's have noted that I have "mild" DOR. It was diagnosed through a combination of blood tests and ultrasound during my initial fertility work up at both places.

My AMH was 12.9 in Nov 2012 and was 11.0 in Jan 2013.
My last Antrfollicle count was 11 and my FSH hovers around 9 pretty consistently.
As a side note I did 4 IUI's with Femera and had 2-3 follicles during all but one of those cycles where I only had 1 follicle (may actually have been just a cyst).

We are planning to do IVF this summer so I would love it if you could share especially about other health risks as this has never been mentioned.

ETA: I had a lap in Jan 2013 and endo was found on my ovaries and I read somewhere that it could contribute in some way to the DOR but I'm not sure...

There was a little inkling a few years ago because of my low AMH, but they told me that it was still in the normal range.

After 3 completed and failed IUIs, I decided to see another clinic.

Just gave me my first diagnosis. PCOS and DOR.

I was diagnosed with DOR after bloodwork showed my FSH at 20.4 (!!! 23 and up is considered premenopausal and I was 28 at the time!) and my AMH was .4 . I don't really know much more about DOR though, I never had any cysts or mentions of endo or anything else. I followed my REs rec of doing injections plus IUI (400iu Gonal F, I believe, plus trigger shot) and it worked on our first attempt- a little too well, I suppose, since I ended up with multiples!
It was wierd, I remember being fine when I first heard everything from the dr and it wasn't until about a week later when I realized how high my dosage of Gonal F was compared to other ladies going through a similar process that I started Googling and FREAKED OUT. I was so worries that the IUIs wouldn't work and that I wouldn't even be considered as an IVF candidate since the cut-off is typically a FSH of 15. Luckily, I didn't have to do IVF but the whole experience was very emotional for me.

I have not been formally diagnosed with DOR but I am almost 37 and back in 2011 just before we conceived our son I had an AMH level of .5 , FSH was 7 and I believe E was 21. The last two numbers are in the normal range but my AMH is in the low arena. We did conceive my son after one very lucky honeymoon "try" (quotes because we weren't trying but didn't use BC and knew I was in my window on that day). I now on month 5 of TTC #2 and ill admit its a scary place to be. I have been nursing my son though and only last month did I have him down to only two sessions a day. Now he is down to one so I hope t will help and I won't be dealing with DOR issues. We will fully wean and probably look into lower cost fertility options if we are by KU by September when my son turns 2.

@Trailmix: wow.. How many babies did you have? Or are you still pregnant? Congrats!

In addition to DOR, my SO and I had MFI. We did a fresh IVF cycle in July 2014 and am currently pregnant with a singleton from a eSET. My AFC at the start of my IVF cycle was still around 11. I ended up needing to stim for a longer number of days then the RE originally expected and I was on a higher stim dosage. We transferred 1 good quality blast on a day 5 transfer and froze 2.

Our RE noted that if we ever do another fresh cycle we would likely change the protocol because while we retrieved 17 eggs, there were 6 that were immature or over mature and did not fertilize, we also lost of embryos getting to day 5 transfer.

Hoping to get this thread started again. I'm 38 now and have just started testing with my RE for baby #2. Still waiting for my AMH results. The only number I have so far is antral follicle count, which is 5. Anyone else diagnosed with DOR?

@CATCHAFALLINGSTAR I had an AMH very low at age 37. We were in the process of tests and in between, magically got pregnant with number 1. Now at age 41 we are looking for number 2 and have one embie on ice from 3 cycles. Still have hope and it only takes one.
