I’m wondering if anyone else is in a similar position to us and have managed to fall pregnant naturally?
We fell pregnant last summer, the first month we tried, but unfortunately miscarried in October. We started trying again in December but without any luck so we decided to have a fertility check up just to be safe and unfortunately I have a low egg count. My husbands sperm count is high, good mobility, above average quality so we’re fine in that department. The clinic suggested IVF but it feels like such a leap. I know I’ve fallen pregnant once so I know it’s possible, but I’m wondering if anyone else has had success in a similar position to us?

Sometimes low egg count coupled with low egg quality will make this a challenge. Have you been doing anything to increase egg quality?
I’m taking supplements, (CoQ10 and folic acid as well as DHEA to maintain my egg count) but I’m not sure what else I can do?
So both my follicle level and AMH are low. The DHEA is to maintain my AMH. I am going to go for a second opinion to see if there’s anything that can be offered before IVF. We’ll be sure not to wait to long though, no telling how long these eggs will last. I’m only 34 with no history of early menopause in the family so I’m hoping I’ve a little while left.
I think if we go through the process of anything it will be IVF rather than freezing eggs because I believe (could be totally wrong) that you will have more success with freezing embryos than eggs. If we can get a few then we could implant one and then freeze the others, for example.
I will have a look at Impryl, thank you!! And It Starts with an Egg. I’ve heard that great, really informative and reassuring
Good luck to you too xx

You could try IUI before IVF? We did that as a kind of intro. Cheaper, less meds but also less likely to work
That’s definitely an idea. Did that work for you?

No it didn’t work for us but I felt confident to then move straight onto ivf
