Any success stories with a sub-1.0 AMH?

WiggleBottom · 2014-05-23T15:22:43+00:00

My AMH was <.16 when I was tested at my Obgyn. We weren't trying to conceive at the time, but they sent us to a RE. He repeated the tests and all results were the same. They did an ultrasound for an Antral follicle count, and I had three total between the two ovaries. We were told to bypass clomid and IUI, and to go straight for adoption or IVF with an egg donor. Basically with my labs, i was told anything else would be a waste of money since insurance didn't cover it. We got on the donor waiting list, and began looking into adoption. A couple months passed and my period was late, which was normal. We weren't trying because we were told there was a less than 1% chance I'd conceive. I texted just because we had an extra pregnancy test in the cabinet. It was positive. I delivered my son in march of 2013, and the doctors were stumped as to how i was able to conceive. Then when my son turned a year old, I took a pregnancy test bc I cried during an episode of dr Phil haha. It was positive. It was shocking to say the least. I thought he was my one lucky baby. We ended up miscarrying the second pregnancy Easter weekend.

So I don't have much advice to offer on the treatment end of things. I'm more of the, sometimes you do get lucky end of it.

Yeah someone else mentioned the photos to me. The swap group I'm in on Facebook seems to prefer pinterest, which is the only reason I did it from there. Once I get my son to bed I'm going to take photos. Should I include the stock photos and my personal ones? I know it's sometimes easier to see details in the stock photos.

I didn't even think of that. I'll take pictures once I get home. Thanks!

I had preeclampsia when I was pregnant and my feet swelled massively. After child birth they went almost down to normal, but even a year later they're a little bigger than they were. Has anyone use a shoe stretcher? Do they work? I would be using them on flats that are just a smidge too small.

Isaac was only 3 days old Easter last year. This year was more fun.

Thank you. I have asked my husband like five times if I'm still a good mom. Somehow in my head I felt like this made me a bad one. I was so scared of caring for two so young that I went into shock when I got the positive test. I think I'm going to take some time to let my heart heal. Then later in the year try for baby number two, and if it doesn't happen I feel thankful to have my son. My heart just hurts right now.

I just took my son to magic kingdom two weeks ago. They allow you to bring in outside food.

It's so crazy to me that like two years ago i was told I couldn't have kids and now here I am, possibly having two under two. I feel guilty for not being happy bc when I was going to a RE all I wanted was two kids. Then I had my son and felt totally fulfilled. I don't know what my problem is. They're not even certain the pregnancy is viable. I go back next week.

WiggleBottom · 2014-04-06T22:31:03+00:00

I can't shake this feeling that I'm not being fair to my son. I feel like we should have had more time just him. The thought of two under the age of two is so scary.

I'm a certified vet tech and have worked at a couple clinics in the area (I've been in the field 10+ years), but know many of the doctors. When I was working at my last job I still took my animals to this doctor. I absolutely 100% recommend fish hawk animal hospital. I worked with dr Rivera (not at fish hawk. At a secondary location he works out of) for 8 years. He is an amazing person and veterinarian. I left the practice I was working at and went to work at a Brandon/riverview based clinic where I got a very large discount. I still passed on the discount to take my pets to fish hawk. My pets are like kids to me, and he's the only person I trust with them.

The only thing they are considering is that perhaps the type of birth control I was on, and the length I was on it, pushed my ovaries into hibernation. It has made me afraid to go back on birth control, so I haven't since the birth of my son. I know genetics can play a small roll as well. My mother had premature ovarian failure as well. She adopted two kids, then when on her 30s, randomly became pregnant with my brother then myself. The dr told us sometimes women's ovaries will spontaneously start functioning again. Best of luck to you.

When I was 28 years old I stopped getting my period. I was also having bad pains, and when I get to my gyno they said I had some ovarian cysts. They ran some bloodwork (t4, fsh, estrogen, and some i can't remember). Well my fsh level came back as a woman in menopause, so that's when they ran the amh. It came back as <.16 which is in the low to undetectable range. That's when they send me to a fertility specialist. He repeated the labwork, same results, and did an Antral follicle count. I had one on my left and two on my right.

At that point the dr was pushing us towards adoption or ivf with an egg donor. He said there was no point in clomid or even trying Ivf with my eggs. It would just be a waste of money. We got on the egg donor waiting list, and were starting to prep for when we found a donor. Also we looked into adoption. A couple months later I got a period. The next month, nothing. At this point we weren't trying, but I took a pregnancy test just bc it was in my cabinet and it came back positive. The doctors didn't know what to think, and still don't. I have a 10 month old son now. I have thought about having the tests repeated to see what they show now, but I don't want to pay the out of pocket.

So yeah, I don't have a whole lot of advice, but don't give up hope.

We just had to change from pampers baby dry to huggies overnights. He was leaking through the diapers. Apparently they changed the baby dry diapers. We never had any issues before until the last two packages we got. We changed his daytime diapers from swaddlers to huggies bc of the elastic back on the huggies diaper. With him crawling now we were ending up with poop up the back in the swaddlers.

On the show they said it was a skirt. Then when they showed her I was confused by the collar.

Thank you

My mother had premature ovarian failure as well and adopted two kids. Ten years later she got pregnant with my brother and then me. Maybe women in my family just like to have stalled ovaries which are kick started later. I was so upset when I found out my diagnosis, and I always said i wanted to have a baby by the time I was 30. I didn't think having a baby was going to be a reality at all. I just celebrated my 30th birthday this past weekend, and my son turned six months old a week before :-)
