Hi,

I have a history of endometriosis and ovarian cysts and after 8 unsuccessful cycles of falling pregnant, I was referred to see a FS back in March.

Well I saw the FS and he ran a whole heap of blood tests on me and DH and also did a sperm analysis for DH.

All of our test results came back normal except for one which was my AMH level which came back at a 6 instead of a 15-17 (for my age).

FS said that level was really low and wanted to start me on Clomid the very next cycle, but to our surprise I actually conceive that same cycle I saw him and so never needed to use the Clomid or go anywhere further with fertility testing, possible IVF etc.

My little boy was born 2.5 weeks ago and is perfect although I have a question.

We are considering having a 3rd child at some stage although with my ovarian /egg reserve so low, what would my chances be of conceiving again naturally and also, does a low ovarian / egg reserve mean the few eggs I might have left might be poor quality ones and could they mean I have a higher chance of having a baby with a birth defect etc?

Hoping someone can shed some light for me that may have been in a similar boat.

I'm seeing my OB/Gyn on 23 January for my postpartum checkup so will discuss all this with him too but just wanted some info in the meantime.

Thanks heaps.
