Low AMH and high FSH

I'm only just reading your message now. I want to give you some encouragement. I also have a very low AMH (0.05, measured 3 years ago). I've gone through a long journey with 2 surgeries for endometriosis and failed IVF attempts (no follicle growth even with the highest hormone doses). I'm at UZ Leuven in Belgium. Make sure you get well-supported and well-informed. Preferably go to a university hospital. It's a long and tough road with disappointments and little sparks of hope.

I ended up getting pregnant spontaneously (now 16 weeks along) but the road is still long. Next week I'm having an amniocentesis because an increased risk of abnormalities was detected at the 12-week ultrasound. The lower the AMH value, the lower your egg reserve, and the higher the chance of poor quality in the remaining eggs, but we live on hope. We believe in a miracle ????

Hi Daisy,
I have a question. I’m 38 and just found out that my FSH level is 16.3 and my AMH is 0.07 (this was measured in Oct 2022!). We went to Groningen, but they said they can’t do anything. Then we went to a private clinic in the Netherlands, and they want to discuss IVF, but she doesn’t think she’ll be able to convince her colleagues! In December, there were 3 eggs in both ovaries—2 on one side and 1 on the other. But last time, there was only 1 egg, and it had already ruptured! What else can I do? How did it work out for you?
Greetings!

Hi,
I really relate to all your stories and find it incredibly brave that you share them here. It’s very vulnerable, but also very courageous!!!
I just turned 38 and unfortunately my AMH is on the low side. I’ve also started a huge journey myself, we’ve been trying for almost 10 years and none of the treatments have resulted in a pregnancy. I’m now doing my last IVF attempt and have huge conflicting emotions. On the one hand, I think; can’t I just stop this to save myself a lot of disappointment and sadness. I find it important not to keep pushing my limits. But on the other hand, I think: I should do everything possible, otherwise I’m afraid I’ll regret it later.
If you have a low egg reserve, it unfortunately becomes difficult to qualify for IVF, but not impossible. For a puncture they need eggs, which they can prick, to be able to replace them later. But even if you have 1 fertilized egg, you still have a replacement and chance of a possible pregnancy.
Somewhere there’s still a little hope for a natural pregnancy.... I’m considering adjusting my lifestyle even more, living healthier and supplementing with food supplements? I’ve also read very good reactions about that. ...
