Hope for High FSH and low AMH?

[MsLeslie71]

Hello Everyone- I am new to the this forum type experience.  From what I have read, I think the support you are all providing to each other is truly wonderful. My dh and I are both 39 and on this ttc journey as well. We have been ttc for 9 months,  For the last five, we received ART assistance--2 IUI cycles with Letrozole and 3 cycles with just Lotrozole.  We were preparing for our third IUI this week when the news came that my FSH levels were high--21 and my AMH low--.4.  We were told that we could do just as well on our own as they could, and that we had a <5% chance of success even with IVF-- in essence sending us home with minimal hope.  We were of course devastated.  I have read similar stories in this forum and on the net.  I am looking for direction, hope, suggestions.  It has been 3 days since that news and I have moved mostly past the feeling of devastation.  I feel that a chance is a chance, no matter how small.  While I am aware of the possibility that it might not happen, I know it could happen and I know that God is able--as can be seen in this forum.  I want to learn what other options are available for us to have our own (genetically) child.  While adoption is something we will likely do either way.  We would also like to have a child of our own dna.

HI. I am 32 and was told on 22 Dec 2010 that I have a FSH level of 17 and AMH level of 3. I have early aging ovaries with severe endometriosis, and likely to hit menopause in the next few years. I have ovaries of a woman in her 40's. I miscarried 2 years ago and have never been able to fall pregnant since. Infertility doc told me I have <15% chance of falling pregnant with IVF. He is a well-renowned infertility doc. I am extremely disillusioned and devastated. A friend has suggested acupuncture for infertity in addition to the IVF. I am not sure I can cope with the emotional rollercoster if it all fails. I do have faith that God will bless us with a child, but the reality is hard to get past.

The author of "Inconceivable" got pregnant w/ an FSH of 30--naturally, no ivf or meds.  It's highly unusual but can happen. The book gave me hope, although my FSH is not that high. She totally changed her diet and incorporated other lifestyle changes into her life.  Good luck!

I would get a second opinion.
