[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About 4 months ago I was diagnosed with DOR - AMH was undetectable and FSH was 15. I am 36 and had a DD 2 years ago at 34 (got pregnant with her on the first try). DH and I started trying again when she was 1, and then after a year of nothing my OB finally sent me to an RE who ran all the tests.

I just don't understand how my stats can be so bad at my age and given the fact that I had no issues getting pregnant with my first so recently. I tried to get answers from my RE about possible reasons for my DOR, but she really has no clue. I don't have fragile X or any other genetic markers. Is there anything else that can lead to it at a younger age? I am really more curious than anything.

Anyone have thoughts?[/quote]

DOR is a giant mystery. Some think it's "silent endometrosis". Some of it is genetic and who knows when your egg reserve takes a deep dive. I will say an FSH of 15 means that your body is working harder to turn out follicles (as my RE says, your body steps on the gas pedal when the end is getting nearer). Egg quantity does not equate with egg quality, though. BUt after age 35 the quality does go down.

Last year there was a huge study that showed that DOR actually has no effect on getting pregnant (for patients under 35). It does mean that you are less likely to respond to drugs.

There's a low amh/dor facebook group with a lot of information (some good, some not so good) if you want more info/input.

I tested with an 0.3 AMH at age 31. I'm almost 35 now and have the same AMH. [/quote]
