My AMH went up 7x! | How fast AMH falls
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июн 2024
- I have infertility due to DOR (diminished ovarian reserve), which means a low AMH. Anything under 1 ng/mL is considered low, but I'm in the zeros - 0.06 ng/mL. Well..... it went up by 7 times when I retested a few months ago!
Right now, I'm in the middle of getting IVF treatments done abroad in South Korea. I'm done embryo banking and now waiting for the FET (frozen embryo transfer). In this video, I share my entire AMH history since I started testing regularly in 2021, and share how fast it has declined since then. I also share everything I've been doing before I got my AMH levels up - including my fertility diet, supplements and lifestyle choices.

About me ❤
My name is Hellynn and live in the US, but I've traveled to Korea (where I'm from) to undergo multiple rounds of IVF. Being 40 and trying to bring children into the world is hard, but I also have diminished ovarian reserve, so I'm doing back-to-back IVF egg retrievals.
Navigating this world of infertility is definitely a challenge - a million new acronyms, hormones and protocols to learn - it's a lot. So I thought I'd just talk about everything I've been learning for the women out there who have had similar struggles. I'm also happy to share info with anyone who is interested in traveling to Korea for IVF, since it's much more cost efficient with high success rates.
I am treating this YT channel as my diary, talking about the ups and downs of my journey to motherhood so that one day, hopefully, my babies will see how they were created... with fierce, enduring strength and love.
I hope you find my videos helpful - thanks for stopping by.

How much does it cost for 1 ivf cycle in korea ..pls share
@@nafisamulla1289 It depends on the hospital and the protocol, but I would say an average of $5000 per cycle for foreigners without healthcare coverage. This is including medicine and monitoring. Please join the FB group if you haven’t already! The admins in that group guide women navigate IVF in Korea, and several people there have already gotten IVF in Korea too.

@crystalbee9706 I got pregnant naturally with the help of injections (menopur) . I also advise you to take folic acid 3 months before u want to get pregnant, but ask ur doctor
14:35 WOW congrats on your embryos! 👏 May I ask why you personally don’t want to test all of your embryos before attempting to transfer them - especially being age 40 and having day 4 embryos or any embryos at lower level grading? Just curious since I know there’s pros & cons for it either way. Praying for your success! 🙏
That’s such a good news to hear. I hope your journey continues to be successful!
Thank you so much for being on it with me. I’ll keep you updated ♥️

Hello,
Best wishes for you and don’t worry ,everything will be turn out in your favour for sure ❤
Thank you🥰
I've just found your channel gladly. So happy for you that you were able to do IVF in Korea. Unfortunately in Holland, they wouldn't give me IVF with a AMH of 0.08. It mentally knocked me out, but I eventually got up again. Wishing you and your husband the best of luck and lots of strength :)
Aw thank you for watching! I teamed up with a few women doing IVF to start helping women come to Korea for IVF~ if you need any guidance, happy to help. Lots of luck and love your way💖
Good luck on the embryos! I hear pomegranate juice and prenatals should help. Also basic stuff like extra sleep can help prepare for embryo transfer. I’m going through the same process. I wish us both luck! 😊
You have such calm vibey energy 🥰
Aww I'll take it! 😉❤

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm in the same situation my AMH is very low I'm 36 now. You're so lucky to have a husband to support you. I'm on my own at the moment but so concerned about having a little one one day. I found it very hard to go through the whole process on my own. I wish you all the best keep us updated and you're absolutely Gorgeous 🥰
Hey there! Thank you for your kind words. You are very brave and I hope everything works out in your favor... it WILL!! Sending lots of good energy your way❤❤❤
Hellynn thank you for sharing and helping so many. Please remember that emotional blocks, neuroplasticity and intuition or the 'spiritual' connection or knowing that you have with your baby are ALL parts of the journey. All pieces of the puzzle, including the IVF process! May you babies come SOOOOON!!! XXXX Love and support
Kelly thank you so much! Yes I truly believe that too. Grateful for the reminder🥰🙏❤
Congrats
Best of luck with th transfer! I'm sure at least one will be successful 🤗
I'm turning 43 this year, and been single for 6 years now, so I have decided to do IVF with donor sperm. I have very low ovarian reserve also, my AMH is 0.07, and unfortunately I won't be able to have several rounds of IVF because of the cost. So I'm praying for a miracle to happen and have one healthy embryo.
Thank you love ❤ I will be praying for your success! I have my fingers and toes crossed for you. Let me know how it goes!
I will pray for you my dear.... God bless you n for all ttc beauties like me
Thanks for sharing with us with your latest update. I followed your journey from the very beginning till now. It’s good to hear that you have 7 embryos. Hopefully everything go well with your transfer. We left messages to each other in your other video. Not sure if u remember me or not. Sadly, I have a miscarriage lately and now under recovery. I got pregnant after 6 months I found out I only have 0.1 AMH. I was all over the moon. However, the baby was now gone and I felt very devastated. I told myself I must carrying on and don’t give up on this journey. I just wanna encourage other women that there’s always hope.
Hey you! Yes of course I remember, from the very first video. I'm so sorry to hear about your MC.. it's one of the hardest things to go through, but just know you are not alone. What helped me through my MC was not thinking about fertility for a while and going on a vacation. I started to just focus on making myself happy in the present moment rather than about getting pregnant,, and that space helped me to heal so I could move forward with IVF later. I am praying for your healing and peace of mind. Sending you SO MUCH LOVE. ❤❤❤❤❤
@@hellynn_j Thank you for your support and reply. Yes, u are right. Giving myself space is very important. Me and my husband have planned a short trip to Macau next Sunday. I will try to enjoy this trip and move on. 🩷🩷🩷🩷

I pray you will carry your babies.May the almighty God smile on you. Thankyou for sharing your journey.
Thank you for listening to my story, love. It makes me feel so supported.💕
Thank you for sharing your experiences.❤ I can relate very well to what you are going through. We have been trying since 2019. And I have been through 4 IVF attempts without success unfortunately. I will be 39 this summer, and I have been told that I have few eggs left, in addition, my egg quality is poor. It is incredibly tough to go through this, you feel very alone, so it helps to hear about others who are in the same situation. ❤ I have started to make dietary changes and take supplements. So I hope that it can help the egg quality. I wish you the best of luck and hope your baby dream comes true soon 🙏
Thank you for sharing, and thank you for wishing me good luck. Yes to dietary changes and staying away from toxins, using clean products, staying away from plastics etc. also taking care of your mental and emotional health is the priority. It’s interesting because in this long marathon of infertility, we end up finding our best healthiest selves. I wish you the absolute best of luck and I am rooting from you from Korea ❤️
Hey hellyn....this is Nafisa all over fm India...😊nice to hear ur motivational story..i knw its so hard to go thr this process ...ur patience and faith will really gone happen in good news..i pray that Allah may bless u with twins...😘😘😘just be positive always..❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your kind words, Nafisa. Hope you’re well. Where are you in your journey? It is taking a while to make it happen, but I know good things take time🥰 I would love twins!♥️♥️ Sending you good energy from California.
Thanks for sharing your journey, I can empathize with you much. I had a miscarriage 3 years ago at 31 and it was such a deep loss. We didn’t use any contraception but didn’t get pregnant again. Found out my AMH was very low for my age (2.6 for 33yo, ultrasound show 0-2 follicles only) and was advised to try IVF straight away knowing the chance is low. Miraculously, I found out I was pregnant 1wk after the test result, and now counting down to holding our rainbow baby in 2-3 wk time, thank God!
I credit my success story similar to what you shared, a change of diet and lifestyle. Eat a variety of food, including organ meat, bone broth, salmon and fatty fish, red meat, focusing on quality (grass fed, cage free or wild caught), go cold turkey on caffeine and very little on alcohol, go for sunshine to get more vitamin D, it’s so critical to regulate all our hormones! And yes, no plastic especially on hot food, no perfume etc. Surprisingly or not, these are living principles for good health, and fertility is a byproduct of that!
You can check out these 2 books that are so impactful in my journey: Deep Nutrition by Catherine Shanahan and It starts with the egg by Rebecca Fett. All the best for those who are trying!
I love your story. Thank you for sharing! Congratulations on your baby.
Hi! Please try acupuncture. I had a successful IVF transfer in October and today am 17 weeks pregnant- and I'm 47. Praying for the best for you!

14:35 WOW congrats on your embryos Hellynn! 👏 May I please ask why you personally didn’t want to test all of your embryos before attempting to transfer them now, after 2 of them were abnormal - especially being age 40 and having some day 4 embryos or any embryos at lower level grading? Just curious since I know there’s pros & cons for it either way - just wondering exactly why you did not want to test any more of them?
Praying for your success! 🙏
I had similar stories. I wasn't sure if I want a baby. not because I don't like them, but because I'm not confident I can get pregnant due to my age as well as I have other hormonal issue. Got pregnant last year and miscarriage at 8 weeks. But right after that maternal instinct kick in and I knew from that point that I want to have kids, even 1. Thanks for sharing your story. I hope you have a successful IVF! 😃
The maternal instinct is REAL. Thank you for sharing and I hope you are on your way to a healthy pregnancy and baby. ♥️

@@hellynn_j so true....felt every emotion. this journey makes us strong too....lots of love and prayers from Pakistan.😍🤗
Haven’t retested my AMH since the first one, which was lower for my age and my AFC was 7 :/ … then through 4 rounds of egg retrieval this past year which still is unreal and failed transfer recently, so maybe a few more embryo banking before I pursue another transfer. But also not to lightly say that a failed transfer and the whole process, I am still grieving and managing the anxiety with support groups and therapy. Learning a lot and finding safe spaces to acknowledge emotions. Hope we all find our peace and bundle of joy (in any capacity). It’s also been a life changing experience - I got in touch with a registered dietician (it was covered by insurance!), got rid of all the plastic including utensils, glass or stainless steel, all my products to minimize endocrine disrupters, plenty supplements (also did NAD+). Sleep was my biggest change. More as possible.
Thank you for sharing your story. It’s a really tough journey but I admire your strength and it will inspire a lot of women who read this. This is definitely a safe space to share your emotions. Everyone here understands what a roller coaster it is. Please let me know how your journey goes. I will have you in my thoughts.♥️
What products do you use instead of glass and stainless steel? I know plastics are bad, but is glass bad too? 😮😮😮
@@sooky_asmr glass is fine 🙂 I used a lot of glass, stainless steel, and aluminum foil/paper for takeout situations!
U can't believe that your story is like light in darkness to many people
Speechless. What an incredible compliment.
I’m so crazy - I went further back on your channel to November 2023 and I see where you posted, “IVF and Genetic Testing (#PGT-A) - Should you test your embryos?” and that video answered my question for you.
I think I am currently PGT testing my 6 embryos because, at age 41, I have had 6 miscarriages with the last one being a Complete Molar, so I am just too scared to put an embryo in me that doesn’t get a decent embryonic grading as well as PGT test as Euploid / normal. Praying I can find one sooner rather than later - this is such a difficult and emotional journey. ❤ 🙏🏻
This is a really tough journey for sure. I totally understand why you are getting your embryos tested. I may consider doing that if I have to in the future. Good luck to you, I hope we both become mothers very soon ❤
@@hellynn_j absolutely 🙏 🙏 thank you - been praying for you 🙌🏻 you never know when the NEXT time will be THE time it happens!

Congratulations
Good luck with the transfer! I can recommend trying to connect to your spirit child to invite her/him into your life (if you believe in spirituality).
You are so courageous and strong for going through all this and you deserve the best ❤
Thank you so much! I do talk to my embabies everyday, and I am just treating myself as a pregnant person already
just had my amh tested for the first time, its 0.07, and I’m only 31. thank you for the tips
You are young though, so it means even though you don’t have a large egg reserve, your quality would be good. There is hope❤️
Idk if this is helpful at all but I'm 38 with an amh of 6.34ng/ml and I've still been trying to conceive my 3rd child for almost 5 years in April. Amh is only one part of the picture for sure. I wish you so much success!
Thank you for sharing! Yes, you're absolutely right ... AMH is only one small part of it. You have a high AMH - do you have PCOS? I have a lot of friends with the opposite problem as me also... please let me know where you are in your journey! I'll be cheering you on.
@@hellynn_j oh you're so welcome! I am very blessed and thankful to have had two children and I don't take that for granted at all, I know you are wanting your first child and learning from watching your circumstances, I am praying for you so much that you receive this blessing.❤️ if God doesn't bless me again, I cannot complain. I basically have unexplained secondary infertility. I've had multiple chemical pregnancies (around 10-15) and a couple of ectopic pregnancies...They were diagnosed as "pregnancies of unknown location" bc nothing was ever visualized on ultrasound. My hcg levels went up, down, then up again, which is a major sign of an ectopic....I did methotrexate injections to terminate bc of the danger of rupturing fallopian tube. I was also heavily bleeding and hcg wasnt near high enough to be a viable pregnancy based on dates...that was in 2022. But trying since 2019. Anywho, I've done RPL testing, HSG, hysteroscopy, endometrial biopsy, and finally a laparoscopy. Nothing has been found except an elevated bcl6 biomarker on the Receptivadx test, which is associated with silent endometriosis in 2022. I had a lap at the end of last year bc of that test result and the lap came back negative for endometriosis, so back at square one. My doctor is saying it's AMA(egg quality) issues, but that doesn't explain why so many losses when I was younger. The chemical pregnancies started between my first and second children at 29 years old, and then continued after my second child, way before 35. I haven't pursued ivf. My RE say that ivf can't help recurrent pregnancy loss, only infertility. I will be following you on your journey and will add you to my prayer list. 🥰 eta: forgot to say no the doctor hasn't diagnosed me as having pcos, rather "pco" which is basically polycystic ovaries/ many follicles but without the "syndrome". My AFC is 27+, but I ovulate on my own every cycle and always have. I guess i was born with an abnormally high number of eggs, but it seems that a lot of them are cracked perhaps 😅. (Gotta laugh to keep from crying). 🤗
Having an AMH over is outside of the normal range. You should get checked for PCOS. That is probably the reason why you haven’t gotten pregnant
@@classicredwine hi, I thought I replied to @hellynn_j but youtube must have tossed my comment 🫤. I don't have pcos. I ovulate every cycle and my testosterone is normal. I have also had two kids already. My doctor said I am PCO, which means I just have a lot of follicles, but not PCOS, I don't get cysts from lack of ovulation....my afc is 27+. I think it's rare, but some women are born with mlre egg reserve than others. Think of the women who have babies at 50....those are probably women like me....but clearly I still have fertility issues 😟 not related to egg reserve.
You have PCOS
I just got my AMH results back today and it was .75. I was so disappointed 😩 but this video gave me home.
I will pray for you 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏♥️
Thank you God sent me your page, I am 41 in July and my AMH is .3 so im going to do everything you are doing. Im now in the process of finding an IVF clinic, i am in the caribbean so more than likely I'll go to Panama or Colombia.
Good luck on your new journey! I hope you find a great doctor, one experienced in DOR and advanced maternal age. I am rooting for you!!

Hi! It’s so nice to meet you. I still have yet to visit Australia but hope to go soon🙂 Is that 7.5 in pmol/l? If so, that’s actually a pretty great AMH level for your age! I wish you so much luck! Please keep me updated on your progress!♥️
@@hellynn_j thanks so much for getting back to me . 😍😇my Gp also said the same thing .. AMH is not too bad for my age .. we see .. I will def update u about this whole IVF thing .. baby dust to you and everyone in the comment section . 🥰😘
Hi Hellyn, thank you for sharing your journey. I’m 39 yo with low AMH and will be heading to ivf direction after 4 losses with naturally conception. Just wondered whether if your fsh also improved after your AMH improved as well? I’ve not been diagnosed but I think I will be low responder, my FSH has been increasing the past year. Also found way to increase AMH with supplement so trying to tackle my FSH now. Thanks sharing again 💛
What did you try that increased your AMH? I’m in the same boat as you, I need to focus on FSH
It was DHEA did it for me, but first you need to test your testosterone to make sure you are a good candidate for it. If you have optimal or high testosterone DHEA won’t work. My testosterone and DHEAS was both low so taking 25mg daily helped. Recommend it ‘It starts with the egg’ 3rd edition. Also vitamin D can help immensely if you are deficient! Good luck
Hi there, sorry I missed this. It's nice to meet you here :) My FSH was at 10 when I last checked. I'm not really sure what it was at the time my AMH had gone up though, but I don't think it was a problem. I've heard you can improve FSH with wheatgrass, you may want to research that. Hope this helps. xx
@@hellynn_j thank you so much for the reply. I was going to do wheatgrass but then I changed my mind as it contains a lot of mineral including iodine which I’m avoiding due to Graves’ disease. I feel my FSH fluctuates it’s better this month so who knows. Appreciate your response and wishing you lots of baby dust with the FET xx
my amh is also .06! i didnt know that number was so low until you mentioned it in this video. ugh!!
Aw im sorry! It is a low AMH but it doesn't mean you have zero eggs.. Are you TTC or getting IVF?
@@hellynn_j IVF, yes. they retrieved only one egg this past cycle. it fertilized, and grew into a 6AA blastocyst! super lucky! debating whether or not to PGT-A test... it has been biopsied and frozen, but now that I have this one embryo, I am nervous if we send those cells off for testing, it will come back aneuploid and they will not transfer. very stressed over what i should do!!!
@@laurscrayz1 that really is a tough one and I feel you! I can only say what I would do.. If I was younger I would just transfer. Now that I've been through many failed transfers at 41, since there is less time I would test. Let me know what you decide to do.. rooting for you. 💗
Hi Hellynn! I'm so thrilled for you as you've hope on this journey 🙏. Same age and AMH profile as you. Can you share what your FSH was? My FSH fluctuates but recently increased to 33. I've now changed jobs and hoping with adequate self care and acupuncture, it drops. What have you been doing to keep yours down? I plan to start IVF end of Feb. Thank you and I pray your transfer is successful🙏🙌
Hello , am 42 my Amh is 5,85 Fsh: 5.1
Hi! So nice to meet someone with the same profile as me. My FSH last I checked had gone down to 10. I'm not sure what I did to bring mine down, but I'll share everything I did... Moderate exercise, the Mediterranean diet, meditation, acupuncture, eastern medicine (a potent medicine derived from deer antler) for a couple of months prior to starting IVF. I have heard wheat grass is also supposed to help bring it down, so you should do some research on it! Honestly, I think the biggest thing is managing stress because my best cycle was when I didn't do any of the other stuff but was just stress-free and happy. You are in my thoughts and prayers, please let me know how it goes! 🙏💞
@@lealouize6551 Hi! Is this AMH in pmol/l measurement?
@@hellynn_jng/mg yes ?
@@hellynn_jthanks for the response. I needed to make a change to my stress levels and so have changed my job. I'm hoping with this change, and applying other relaxation techniques, my FSH will drop so that I can start mini IVF! I'm praying that your FET is successful! You're truly amazing. Thanks for giving me hope not to give up❤😊
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for stopping by~~❤
Hello Princess. you look very young. You look my age, 32 years old. I am currently undergoing IVF and my AMH is 0.96 ng/ml. I hope to God it works for me. I have faith that you will have a beautiful girl like me. I am not pregnant yet nor have my eggs been removed, I am at the beginning but I say it by faith ❤️❤️❤️🙌🏻❤️😃😇
Thank you so much! Youre too kind. I truly believe we will have our babies soon, both of us 😀
It’s normal for it to vary by all these amounts all the time. It’s just a measure of what your next couple of months are looking like because it measures the proteins given off by the early follicles.
Yes! You're absolutely right. It's just more rare for AMH to go up for older women is all.
Interesting story and so brave of you to be able to do 7 egg retrievals!
Did you test your blood always on the same day of your cycle? You will get the best results on day 1-3 of your cycle.
My first AMH result was when I was 32 and it was 0,06. This blood was taken on day 18 (so couple of days after ovulation). I was shocked and so devastated.
5 months later I got my AMH tested on day 2 of my cycle and my AMH was 0,34.
I would say that it is more trustworthy to test on the same moment and at the same lab.
Good luck with your transfer!
Thanks for sharing! Our AMH was the same at one point. Yes, I always got tested on the second day of my cycle, around the same time of day too. It’s very common for AMH to go up and down, for sure! Just a little harder after 35, I think. Are you going through IVF right now?
Hi Hellynn, hope your embryo transfered succeed. I also have low AMH, it is 0.333. I got some supplement that you explain in your previous video. But haven't done my blood test again. Btw I want to know how long does your period last? Mine is only 2 days and it is light period. How about you? Could you share ? I don't know how to fix it. in my 20s my period was ussually 7 days long. Hellyn I am looking forward to seeing your reply. Best of Luck Hellyn. Greeting from Indonesia
What means AMH ?
Hi there, thanks for the kind words of support🥹♥️🙏 I hope my transfer succeeds too!!
I would definitely talk to your doc/test before taking some of the supplements, so just wanted to remind you. Especially hormones like DHEA because they can be dangerous to take without monitoring.
To answer your question, mine lasts about 3-4 days, and ranges from light to heavy. Much shorter than it used to be😭 You should check with your doc to test if your estrogen is low, because I’ve heard that causes light periods. They have estrogen supplements that can be prescribed, but there are so many other reasons for a short and light period including perimenopause, stress, sudden weight loss etc.
Ultimately, you should get tested and talk to your OBGYN about it, but I have friends with similar issues who got IVF and succeeded, so if that is your goal, hope is not lost! Your runway is just very short so you should act now. Are you planning on getting IVF or fertility treatments?
I love Indonesia. Hope to visit again in the near future.♥️

Hi! I just finished my 1st ivf transfer here in Korea because USA basically recommended egg donor option due to my age. Is there assistance for foreigners in Korea for ivf too? I thought it was only available for Koreans living in Korea for 6+ months…
Hi! Nice to meet you🙂 Same… US docs recommended DE for me too. You have to be a Korean citizen or married to one to get government support. To get healthcare coverage, if you have a Korean parent (including in laws) who’s working, I believe you can go under him/her if you have a Korean visa. Even with just the coverage, it’s insanely cheap vs US. Where are you getting it done?
@@hellynn_j I wish I had a little coverage for ivf in Korea but unfortunately I don’t quality for any. But I’m so glad it is much more affordable than the states. I go to 엠여성의원. Where do you go?
@@jbbung9082 Thanks for sharing. I've heard of that clinic! I go to 차병원 강남. Please keep me updated on your progress, and please do join the Facebook group! You'll probably meet some people who have had IVF in Korea, and it's so important to have community to support you.

Thanku for this information I have same problem please give me more suggestion ❤
Hi there. I focused mostly on egg quality. I share in an update video that I posted yesterday that I think myoinositol helped increase my AFC. Maybe you can ask your doctor about that one. But more than anything I think the fact I went to the best fertility doctor who has a lot of experience working with DOR helped prescribe the right dosages and types of medications.
My doc said me to stop worrying about low amh value. I started yoga and medicines. Now im pregnant naturally
I love that. May i ask how old?
@@hellynn_j I'm 39 now. Doing well. I also went through lot of iui and ivf but didn't get any results. Then I switched to herbal medicines then my amh and egg quality increased. Few months later we got pregnant
@@amritha825 that is amazing news! Please share which herbal medicine!
Plz suggest herbal medicines and tea @@amritha825
I have POF problem and my FSH 168.2 i can convince naturally help me please 🥺
You doesn't look like 40. What products are you using. I like Korean skin texture. Is it safe to use retinol after transfer?
Hey there, thank you🥰 I'm always switching it up but these days I use Sulwhasoo products. Don't use retinol after transfer! I wish I could because it's great for fine lines but its dangerous for the baby! Stick to vitamin C serums instead. I like Drunk Elephants vita C.
@@hellynn_j thanks for the information
you are so beautiful, like flowers❤
Aww thank you ☺
AMH may go up but our egg reserve don't. We get that from our mother, when she is pregnant. So AMH may be misleading sometimes.
Agree. It just means our egg count for that cycle is higher, for the most part. But still, that’s good news for people with low AMH getting IVF that cycle🙂
Low libido ke liye kuch kuch bolo mam
Acupuncture and more massage
i am also having low amh problem..my amh is 0.53 and my age is 29, i had done one ivf recently but it failed then my doc done hysteroscopy and now they suggest donor eggs so my next cycle will be with donor egg.. dont know what to do this might be my last chance..maybe last ivf
Hi there, I’ve helped a few women who were recommended donor eggs to come to Korea and get IVF when youve exhausted other options. Prices are so much better (avg 5K per round) and doctors are very experienced with low AMH.
You have such a great chance of success with IVF because you’re young and have good quality eggs at that age, even if your AMH is 0.53. Mine was 0.06 at one point and I managed to get embryos with own eggs. I know many women with similar AMH that had babies with their own eggs, so I would consider a doctor who will try with own eggs first.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed you you. I’m nearly 41 with an AMH of 0.07. I decided to have a round of IVF using an egg donor as I was told that was more likely to work than using my own eggs. The round of IVF didn’t work and I was so upset. Three weeks later I fell naturally pregnant 🤯😁 (and I only have one fallopian tube). So I’m currently 6 weeks pregnant. It’s up to you what you want to do I just wanted to give you some hope. It’s sounds like at the age of 29 there is definitely still a chance of falling naturally pregnant. Or maybe try IVF again with your own eggs before you move on to donor eggs. It’s depends how important it is for you to be the biological mother of your child. I wish you all the best. X
❣@@suzanneramshaw9247 wow... your story is really a miracle. i am so happy for you and I pray that you have a successful pregnancy. it really gives hope. congratulations.
Can you get sperm from European sperm banks sent to Korea? I'd be quite keen on using Danish or Northern European sperm.
As of now, it's not legal to get IVF in Korea with donors. I would try somewhere in Europe for this!
I had 4 miscarriages. I lost my 2 fallopian tube for ectopic pregancy. Now my amh is low. My 4 th miscarriage was ivf baby. I really fell down, i was lost my hope!
I'm so sorry for your losses. That must have been so hard.. my heart goes out to you. ❤
Hello can you please share how did you increase your amh levels
I talk about it in the video! Should be in the last third or so🙂
@@hellynn_j thank you dear
The hormonal medication increases the AMH.
Yes, agree.
Few points
1) Asian women loose their egg reserve early. 38 yr Caucasian woman is comparable to 35yr Asian woman. If you are Asian woman above 35 consult Fertility specialist earliest
2) Aneuploidies which causes miscarriages are 80% in women above 42yrs. Around 40yrs 60-70% . Major cause of IVF failure and miscarriage around 40yrs is your age. And wasting time and more egg reserve in trying to naturally conceive or avoiding Fertility treatment for any reason doesn't do any good.
Multiple IVF -PGT-A cycles is the answer.
I was 26 when my AMH was 0.05 and it’s been two years I haven’t checked now I am 28🥲 recently got married.. is there any hope?? I don’t know why it happened to me in my 20’s.
There is always hope! You should get your fertility tests done again right away and look into options! ♥️
@@hellynn_j thank you! Definitely I will, need prayers .
I’m 31 & my amh is 0.29 I’m sad with one blocked tube & slightly open tube I’ve never was able to get pregnant naturally 😢
Hi there, I would still hold onto hope because you're young, which means great quality eggs for the most part! Is IVF an option for you?
@@hellynn_j Thanks for the hope. I have a consult next. I hope it’s good news.
@@Myndurs please let me know how that goes! You just have a shorter runway than others but you can totally preserve your fertility. I was able to get embryos with my 0.06 AMH. I'm wishing you the very best💖
My wife going through the same exact situation she is 37 and her level are 0.01 and I looking for any information that can help us to at least have one baby
Hey there. There have been some small studies that have shown that myo inositol supplements help with quality and quantity of eggs.. I would talk to your doctor about taking some supplements. Are you thinking about any fertility treatments? Back to back IVF may help increase AMH if you're thinking about banking embryos.
Please feel free to join the FB support group (pinned comment) - a lot of women there have low AMH so you could get some great advice there.
I didn't get a notification about this video
Aww.. make sure your alerts are on for this channel!💓
Not to be a barrier of “bad news” but AMH testing can vary greatly from one lab to another.
I have high AMH (non PCOS) but I’ve gone through IVF (male factor) and have gotten it tested many times over the years and it can fluctuate up and down very drastically depending on what lab tests. I tested it once and it was 5.12. Another clinic tested years later and it came back at a 7-something. I tested again somewhere else and it was a 5 something again. A few years later it was a 4.8 or something. The later years where at the same place which is probably showing a proper decline.
So if my can vary a whole 2 points UPwards within a few years … this is all within the same country btw.. I can only imagine what testing in a different country would do.
I would say the .06 number you got was a fluke since it was so out range with the rest. The rest of your numbers are all consistent and more reliable.
I just don’t believe AMH can truly go up. Women do not grow more eggs. You probably know this of course. Just thought I’d share my experience with fluctuations on the opposite end of the spectrum and show why you shouldn’t put too much stock on it.
Not to say that you shouldn’t be hopeful for low AMH. That’s of course not where I am going. Just saying to not obsess over this number.
Good luck to you!
Thank you for that perspective, I definitely agree with you that they differ by lab! My last two were in a lab at my fertility hospital in Korea. But the reason I don’t think my 0.06 result was a fluke is because during that round we saw one follicle, got one egg, and one embryo. When my AMH tested higher at 0.4, we saw 8 follicles and retrieved 5 mature eggs and got 3 embryos.
Yes, your AMH can go up and down drastically (especially for PCOS patients), and for PCOS patients it tends to go up more often than women with DOR. Your AMH is just an indicator of egg reserve so you have an idea, not the absolute number of eggs in your reserve. That is why it goes up and down month to month based on the amount of granulosa cells during that current cycle. We don’t always have the same number of follicles every month.
In any case, you are right about this - definitely should not obsess over any numbers. But for women like me who need multiple rounds and have low chances, we look for every reason to celebrate.😊
Thanks for the luck! I transfer in a few weeks!🙏
I am just confused that how AMH can be increased? Because I have heard we are born with all of our eggs for lifetime so can you please explain how it can be increased?
I am 30 and my AMH is 1.45 and I am really worried as I don’t have any kids
AMH isn't the actual number of your eggs. The eggs you produce every month vary in quantity, so your AMH goes up and down every month. However as you age and you have less eggs overall, you produce less eggs every month too which is why AMH usually trends down. To give you an example, you might have 100,000 eggs in your reserve overall. But you may produce 5 eggs one month, and 10 eggs another month.
If you are 30 your egg quality will be good! Just preserve your fertility through freezing 🙂
Hey hi
My age Is 28 yrs but my AMH is 0.92. I m so worried abt my eggs. Does they reduce drastically now?
Hi there, usually that means you have some time. I’ve seen a lot of people get pregnant naturally with that AMH. The most important thing is your quality of eggs, and your age suggests that you probably have great quality eggs! If I were you, I would freeze some eggs/embryos so I can have babies later if I want.
Have you checked ur follicle count
How many ivf can we do? I mean howmany time can we do egg retrieval round??.
I think that depends on how your body responds to the meds.. but I've heard of women doing over 20 rounds so I think it's possible to keep going if you can mentally handle it
I had 4 time pick up. 2 time concived with ivf. Twins. But not going further. It’s stopped at 5 6 week.
Dr said for donor egg. But i want my own only.
Kindly suggest for my egg quality
Hey I am planning for IVF I am working women I just wanted to know for IVF do we have to take holidays
I dont think most people take off work, actually. You just have to take off on egg retrieval day and transfer day!
@@hellynn_j thank you so much
@@henalibhavsar5598 you got this xx
My amh also went up and got pregnant naturally . I had 3 ivf failures
That is so amazing! Congratulations on your pregnancy💗💗💗
Hello @lekshmiDev , how your amh level went up, my amh level is 0.02
@@jyothim1310 hii I was taking ayurveda medicines for improving my amh. It was 0.1 initially then came around 0.3 that time I conceived

Yes!!!♥️
Hi my amh is normal 3,79 ng/ml 25 years old why? I have pocos and normal amh?
Hi there. You should ask your doctor.. but my understanding is that not everyone with PCOS has an abnormally high AMH, although I heard it is the main indicator.
@@hellynn_j i have fsh 5,52 lh 8,91 testo 0,52 ε2 44,17
I’m 34, and my AMH is 0.07. 😢
first of all, *hugs* - you're not alone. Secondly, although your AMH is low you can still get pregnant. Quality is more important,. but I would preserve your fertility as soon as possible! xx
Hi mam my amh level is0.09 can i conceive naturray iui failed
Hi there, I think you should talk to your doc about this, but I think if your amh is low you just have less eggs, but if you're still having regular menstrual cycles there's definitely a chance to get pregnant naturally. It all depends on your age and quality of eggs! Good luck!!❤
My AMH is 6.9 ng/mL and that's not good for someone our age. We can never win
😥 have you tried taking myo inositol? You should ask your doctor about it love.
I had a super low amh it don't matter I still had baby
Yes!!!!!👏👏👏
Hello what was your amh when ur got pregnant?
Hello! Could you please tell the surname of your doctor?
Dr Lee woosik. Sorry, just saw this!
Show me the receipts! 🤨
LOL. Ok I will make a short on it at some point
You're beautiful
Thank you, you’re too kind♥️
My Amh level is 13
What is the unit of measurement?
I am 42 and my AMH is 6 !! Is it normal !!
Hi there👋According to the source I listed in the description, your AMH looks average for your age. Are you getting fertility treatments?
@@hellynn_jhello , no nothing 🧐 I don’t know if its normal my gynecologist said maybe its due to polycystic ovaries but not sure , I wanted to know if there were women my age in the same situation.
@@lealouize6551 are you measuring 6 in pmol/l or ng/ml? If the latter, then I would say it is very high and your OBGYN is probably right about PCOS. You should ask your doc about taking myo inositol supplements. All my friends with PCOS have taken that supplement and had successful pregnancies!
