Low AMH, 33 yrs old, unexplained infertility

A🕊 • 34. Married to DH for 9 years. #1 born 2016. #2 born 2018. Fertility issues - Tried 3 IUIs. Army wife. LDS.

Hi ladies, I’m new here. I am 33 and have secondary infertility (unexplained). I have low AMH (.9). My husbands semen analysis looked great. I had no trouble or delay getting pregnant with my first 2 kids when I was age 28 and age 30. I’ve been TTC for almost 18 months now. There was one MC almost a year ago at 6.5 wks. After a year of trying, I sought a fertility specialist. I’ve done one round of IUI and am starting my 2nd this month.

I can’t help but think stress contributed significantly to my low AMH after things happening in my life the last couple of years including my husbands mental health issues. And now the infertility itself is causing me stress as my life is not going as I had planned it in my head (which I know I don’t need to explain to you ladies). It’s truly something to grieve and process. I don’t want to have to do IVF. I didn’t want my kids this far apart. My insurance doesn’t cover fertility treatment. My husband will be traveling for work and will be gone for 9 weeks soon. Time is of the essence.

My mom didn’t go through menopause until the age of 60. She had her last child at 28 (didn’t try for more after that). My paternal grandma had no fertility issues and had her last child at 32 (didn’t try for more after that). My older sister is single, no kids. I’m just looking to hear from people in a similar situation. I’m glad I found this group.
