High FSH, low AMH, low AFC :-(

[threebirds]

Hi ladies

I have highish FSH (nearly 12 last time it was checked), low AMH (1 UK scale), and my cd2 AFC today was 1!

Is there any chance of getting preg? Going for ICSI (OH also has SA probs), but it is a LOT of money & we mightn't even get to egg collection.

Any1 else with similar results? Want to hear good & bad. Just want to be realistic. Im 38, nearly 39.

Thanks xx

Hi threebirds,

We had been TTC 18mns when i got an AMH result of 0.51, i was totally gutted and at the time i was 35. Other tests were fine, AFC was about 4/5. The following month we went for a fertility apt at the Lister FC in london (one of the consultants there is supposed to be partic good with low ovarian reserve issues - i could dig her name out if it could be any use). I had the amh repeated on cd 3 (the last one was cd 21) and it came back as 3.1, still low but nothing like the prev month so clearly it can vary. The same month we naturally concieved our son who is now 9months. I hope this helps in some way and hope you get you bfp very soon.

I also have a high FSH and a low AMH. I read two books by Julia Indichova that gave me tremendous hope. Inconceivable and The Fertile Female. Here is a woman whose FSH was 150 and conceived. She is currently pregnant

Hi Lisa

really sorry to hear your 3rd ivf was cancelled

we had an icsi cycle over the summer - was on 300iu gonal f (and no downregging) - we got two follicles, one went by itself before collection, so that left 1, it fertilised and the lab said it was a textbook embryo. we had a 2 day transfer but sadly it didn't take.

going to go for our 2nd cycle soon, just deciding where - our options are Origin Belfast, Regional Fertility Centre (RVH) Belfast, or Glasgow Centre for Reproductive Medicine...

Are you going for another IVF cycle next month or trying naturally>
What was your protocol?

Really hope you get your bfp xxxx

Hi ladies. Do you mind if I join? I am 27 and my AMH is .91. FSH is 9.3. I already have a 9 month old son who was conceived 4 months after going off pill. We are now trying for baby#2...its been 3 months. Went to the doc and that is when I got all my blood tests done. She wants to do injectables with iui and says my AMH is bad and that I got lucky with my son. I have been charting and I ovulate every month. I know my AMH is low for my age but do you think my doc is being a bit of an alarmist or is it really that bad? Should we be aggressive about this and do iui with injectables?

hi ladies,

I also have high FSH and also read two books by Julia Indichova. I really liked "Inconceivable" - it's very inspirational and has some good advice. Although I did not like "The Fertile Female" - not very helpful I thought. After reading "Inconceivable" I got inspired and started making small changes including cutting down on coffee and replacing it with herb teas (nettles, red raspberry and red clover) which I now drink daily, increasing CoQ10 from 50 to 300 a day, tried wheatgrass shorts but could not handle it, also tried yoga but it did not stick with me, made fresh juices almost every day (mainly carrot and grapefruit). No BFP to report yet but after 3-4 months my FSH got down to 8 (from 14.3) this is the lowest it ever got so I am very pleased.

Just repeated my FSH and it has actually gone up since last year to all time high at 19. it's devastating. after all the lifestyle changes, vitamins, TCM etc. I am still very surprised that after doing acu/herbs since last October my FSH got even higher
