Low AMH, high FSH, and high estrogen

Hi!

I’ve been reading through lots of posts with this group and the high FSH group. It’s given me lots of hope and support (we are TTC #2) and am hoping my story is uplifting for some as well:

My backstory is I was previously married and tried a donor cycle (he had sperm issue too). It failed. It was devastating. Our marriage ended and I continued to pay a loan each month and reminded of the failed donor

. It was the hardest point of my life to have to accept I would never be pregnant.

HOWEVER- 2 years later I was with my now husband and somehow spontaneously conceived our son (he’s 16 months now)!

My AMH is now even lower (0.03) and FSH is high (29.5). I’ve been told my estrogen is high too. I know our highest chances of conceiving would be egg donor

- but I can’t relive that, personally. We were told we have a 5-10% success rate of conceiving naturally. YES that sounds so low BUT I was told the same % back when I opted to try the first donor

Our doctor said to head to the RE but we know our % of success with

is pretty much the same as trying naturally- so we’re opting to try naturally.

Through this whole process I’ve learned our numbers don’t define us. It CAN happen. It might take a little longer than your friends and family, but it IS possible.

❤️

Ps: I’d love to hear any recommendations, support, etc. that would help us conceive #2!
