AMH Levels

Looking for some reassurance I guess. We have been told my AMH levels were low and lower than expected for my age. I’m 28 and my level was 3 point something. Should I be worried 😬
They are happy to go ahead with treatment and saw a good number follicles during my scan.
Just worrying now I’m going to be an early menopause person and run out of eggs soon 🙈

Don't worry!! A low amh doesn't necessarily mean early menopause! And 3 isn't even a low number, I just assume it's low compared to your age. There a ton of other factors at play as well... other hormones that all together show your overall reproductive health. Seeing follicle growth is an awesome start! I would definitely start taking some supplements now if you're just starting this journey, this way everythg is good to go. CoQ10 for sure. Maybe dhea. You can prob find a fertility multivitamin. Good luck!!

My clinic said they are happy with anything over 2 and you are well above that so don't worry so much.

Sorry for this and yes 3pmol/l is low. I was 4.8 in April and last month I was 7. So it can vary a bit. Most important is that you also check your FSH. If your FSH is higher than 12 then that is hard. AMH 3 means you get max 3 eggs by doing IVF. However if you take care of yourself and take good supplements then you get good quality eggs. My first IVF I had one egg and that egg didnt fertilised. Second IVF I had 3 eggs, 3 embryos, 2 very good blasts. I am very happy with this results. I could have got pregnant naturally if I did not have other issues I have. I have hypothyroidism that can also cause low AMH

Hi Kirsten, my AMH levels are also low for my age… I am now nearly 9 weeks pregnancy with our first try at ivf! Hope that gives you some hope xx

Hi Kristen, they are very low for your age -yes. However the most important thing is age and so as you are so young your eggs are likely to be good quality! And if they saw a good number of follicles in your scan then that’s great- and surprising for an amh of 3. So it could be that the amh was a bit wrong.
I’m sure you will have a good chance of IVF success ☺️
Wishing you luck! Xx

Hey, I’m 33 and my AMH is 1.8 (also from 🇬🇧), but my AFC is 4 so also very very low. We’re gonna give it 6 months TTC naturally and if nothing happens we’re going to go down the IVF route. It’s so frustrating I know, but at 28 your egg quality will be great so I wouldn’t worry too much at all!

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
