Thought I was being really proactive by looking into freezing my eggs at 29. Did the initial testing and am floored by how poor my indicators are (amh = .7, etc). ☹️ anyone else find out like this? Completely didn’t expect it.

It’s good that you were proactive and found out when you did! For those of us going through fertility treatments, it’s always kind of crazy that a fertility workup isn’t as common as an annual Pap Smear. I’ve read that some women are able to increase their AMH levels by taking supplements (might have been in the book “It Starts With the Egg”), but I think the improvements are marginal. I know it’s probably not the most comforting to hear, but at least you know now and can do something about it in terms of preserving your fertility vs. years down the line when you start trying for a baby.

I wish i had tested at 29 instead of waiting. 5 IUIs and 4 IVF CYCLES later with a AMH .01. It was expensive! Definitely freeze eggs and potentially a few embryos with PGS TESTING if you can afford it. You will be thankful for the options later in life

Yes it will probably help - it sucked the first 30 days but then got easier. I’ve relapsed this after i got pregnant. Need to limit the gluten again lol and sugar 🙈 after thanksgiving going to start cutting back
