Advice for friend - high FSH and low AMH

[Now we're 3]

Thanks girls for your replies. Will keep you updated on what her FS says when she sees him if you are interested. Will gently mention pushing her DH to do IVF sooner rather than later especially with results you got Gecko with your AMH dropping so significantly.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you that your cycle works Gecko. Which clinic and FS are you going through. Her FS is Mark Livingston but she has an appointment with a Gavin Sacks next week just to talk to someone else to get I guess a 2nd opinion. From what I've heard about him he is a straight shooter but won't leave a stone unturned to try to make the process work.

N2L hope the break works for you hun. I took a year out from my cycle 4 to cycle 5. And then it worked despite my little eggies being a year older . So it all being down to one good egg is so true so don't focus soo much on the number of eggs you get. (Sorry hope you don't mind me saying that I know some people don' t like being told sucess stories - for me I know they gave me hope - so hope they work that way for you too).

Thanks again for your support for my friend. Xx

Hi,

I am with Sydney IVF, Dr Jenkins. I did initially start with IVF Australia but the Dr i was seeing there just did not " sit right " with me nor with DH ......so Dr J was recommended to us and he is located in the new private Hospital in Bella Vista which i liked as everything is brand new and state of the art there ...but i did realise that they are not the cheapest... then again i only get one shot at it so i might as well go with what feels right rather then saving a few $$ if you know what i mean... each to their own :-)

i am at the point where i believe that if its meant to happen it will no matter what levels i have or not... so i will just wait and see and hope for the best.

Hope it all works out for your friend xoxo

Hi

Just wanted to give an update in relation to my previous post.

My lovely girlfriend spoke to her FS and decided after talking to him to give IVF a try. He was quite positive that it would be the right thing to do and that while her initial results indicated that there may be some issues that needed addressing it was still all positive.

Well long story short. She has just gone through her first round of IVF - she did an antognist (sp??) cycle and had 7 eggs that were retrieved. 3 made it through the 5 day blasto cycle - one was transferred- 2 frosties and guess whatfirst cycle worked !!!!! Yep she's expecting. Still long way to go of course but no reason to think that this little one won't turn into a much loved and wanted little bundle of joy.

Thank you for your input and hope this thread gives hope to anyone else out there who suffered the same issues that she did.

Xx

Oh that is fantastic news ! i am ever so pleased for your friend, i wish her all the best for the upcoming 9 month xox

Thanks for the update...

I wish i could add some positive news as well...

I was not as lucky as your friend as my first cycle ended up being cancelled as i did not respond, i had low oestrogen levels and no eggs what so ever at the end of the stimulated cycle ... took me over 63 days to get AF back after i was told to go off the drugs "cold turkey"...but the upside is the DR has come up with one last drug combo for me including growth hormones this time... so hopefully i get lucky ...as the clinic will turn me away if this one wont work either ...

Your friend is very lucky, but i am sure she knows that by now xox

All the best...
