low amh level & chances w/IVF
This is my first time ever posting...or joining anywhere for that matter. I was told today that my AMH level is .03, yet we were encouraged to try at least one round of IVF before donor eggs were discussed. I would love to hear any similar scenarios (good or bad) just to know what to expect. I thought I had done ample reading and was well informed about the process, but after today I feel like I have been thrown in the deep end and very overwhelmed. Any clarity of what I am about to take on would help...

Hi Ladies,
I wanted to give you all little hope to improve your AMH levels. In August my AMH was .17 ng/L after taking DHEA for 6 weeks it has raised to .714! Still low but quite an improvement. I have also been taking antioxidants, wheatgrass and eating super healthy diet with no wheat or dairy, only hormone free meats, and organic veggies. My FSH has also dropped to 5.6 and my days 3 E2 has also dropped to almost normal levels. Careful comparing AMH rates as there are two different scales in USA and Europe/asia. My level is .714 on ng/l which is 5.1 on pmol/l. I highly recomend anyone who has low AMH try Dhea. I haven't had any side effects at all. I will do my second IVF next month. I am 41 years old.

Your response has given me hope.....
My FSH has been anywhere from 6.9 - 29 and my AMH is around .17. I am a 33 year old female who has been off the pill since January of 2010. I am extremely athletic and my most recent body fat was found to be 8.5%. Needless to say my periods have been nonexistent since I went off the pill.
Last fall my fertility doctor was extremely hopeful for IUI treatments. My husband and I sought nutritional counseling in an attempt to regulate my body on its own. In the meantime, my resting heart rate began to drop and doctors wrote it off as a result of my athletic lifestyle. Two doctors have now told me since my testing in September that I am in premature ovarian failure.
I just had a pace maker put in last week because my resting heart rate dropped to 28-30 beats per minute. My nutritionist believes that the reproductive system is the last of the body's worries if it is trying to survive. My husband believes that by allowing my body to finally receive the proper blood flow, my body may revive.
The fertility doctor says that we have a very very very low chance of conceiving using IVF but he is willing to try. I am praying for a miracle.

I wish your doctor chooses a right protocol for you this time so that you respond well. i am 33 and amh 0.46 and didnt respond to IVF antagonist protocol in the first attempt, now doing a micro flare protocol with low dose lupron. will know our luck this time in august. i wish your cycle works this time. good luck. lots of best wishes with babydust.
Agree with you that your doctor is stupid. why would he ask you to go for donor egg when amh is 0.7. there are many women going through IVF with amh lesser than that. mine is 0.46 and i am on my way to IVF. what about your FSH and LH and is everything else ok such as no cysts and no PCOs. if your insurance covers you should go for IVF with your own eggs sooner without wasting much time. good luck.
