Anyone with very low AMH have success with IVF with only 4 follicles? Looking for some motivational guidance on how I can improve chances for matured egg freezing. Thank you!

I also have very low AMH 3 to 5 follicles 🥲
I don’t know your personal situation but my understanding is that you should consider freezing embryos instead.
The idea being that by fertilizing the eggs now you will have an idea of their quality.
So you could have a low egg yield but that could be mitigated by your eggs being of excellent quality.
Conversely, the low egg yield issue might be made worse by a quality issue.
You won’t know any of this, if you are just freezing your eggs now. Then when you are ready to go, you may find yourself in a situation where you just don’t have enough eggs to work with.
Hope this was helpful to you in thinking things through.

Totally understand! Not an easy journey at all.
It gets quite overwhelming.
I personally decided to do a trial run with donor sperm to see what I was working with.
I had 3 mature eggs but only 1 fertilized.
Based on that my doctor decided to tweak my protocol.
Wish you the best of luck in your journey!

Any women here with lean PCOS? I do not ovulate on my own (metformin regulated my periods but I still don’t ovulate) and am moving from three cycles of Clomid/IUI to IVF soon. No other issues have been found other than my PCOS (HSG shows tubes open). Curious about your experiences. And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.
