    Hormonal birth control can artificially lower AMH. So can a vitamin D deficiency! AMH can also vary up to 30% at any time just due to normal fluctuations. Labs can also give varied results too! I’m glad it worked out for you and you’re so happy.

    My daughter tried for almost 10 yrs and finally were offered 3 donated embryos frozen for 18 yrs. The first they lost. I didn’t think they would go through with it again and they didn’t tell ll anyone. When they called with the news I was sobbing! She is due the last week in December, I am so happy but I won’t feel at peace to she arrives safely and healthy. God bless your little baby boy!

    We are a family of 7 (5 kids at home, ages 4-11) and 2 adult children. We would really love to have (another) set of twins, but would like to adopt children who otherwise might not have a chance. I would also like to carry our babies to term. I heard about embryo adoption and it seems like the perfect fit. Thanks for this video! We are excited to prayerfully move forward with our own journey.

  • @catwmn14
    @catwmn14 3 года назад

    Look up Mark Sklars theory on what AMH actually measures. His theory is that it’s not indicative of egg reserve, because if that was the case then it could NEVER ever go up. His theory is that it’s the measure of the eggs that are on the conveyor belt ready to be matured. Which is why many many women raise their AMH because they help their body get more eggs ready to mature. It’s not a static diagnosis, it can change and it’s possible to improve it.

Traditional adoption has always been an option for us but when I found out about embryo adoption- I am just elated!!! We will get to adopt AND be pregnant!!! We are waiting on Gods timing (something I'm not good at in any way!) and filled with so much hope, anticipation and joy that this is an option for us!!!

    Are these donor couples specifically creating an embryo to be adopted, or are the “extra” embryos from previous IVF cycles? Genuinely curious.

Chances of having my own baby was very bleak. consulted a few doctors and now we have thought of getting a doner egg and trying it one last time. I pray and hope that this time It will be a success. God bless you and your baby with Good health and Happiness ever after.

    • @peachygal4153
      @peachygal4153 4 месяца назад

      probably not because when you adopt you get all their embryos until you finished your family and then what's left go back to bio family. If the bio family planned more kids, they would have never released their embryos for adoption until their family is finished. That tells me they used all the embryos.

    Thank you so much for this. My boyfriend and I started trying before we were going to get engaged and married bc I'm 32 and having fertility issues. He has 2 from an previous marriage and we are trying for our first together. The fertility doctor said I can get pregnant but the chances of me conceiving are low and then he gave us IVF options and embryo donation options. I was just told this yesterday and I've been trying to wrap my head around it. I'm glad I found you .. so I can ask questions and things of that nature. Do you have to have a adoption where the biological donors are in the child's life or can it be anonymous or closed adoption process?

    • @jenlowell8849
      @jenlowell8849 4 года назад

      I am always here for any questions you may have! If you have Instagram, I am easy to reach on there. @_jensjourneys_ The agency we went through you can choose open, semi-open, or closed adoption. Then both parties just have to come to an agreement on the type. But I know with many other organizations that you can get donated embryos from you can very easily have a closed adoption. We do not personally know what it will look like for our son yet as he grows up with a physical introduction to our donor family, but I talk to our donor mom semi-frequently and absolutely love her. There's no "right" way to go about things, just go with your guy but also keep an open mind is my best advice. :)
