[quote=Anonymous]I am 42.  I remember talking to my GYN when I was 30 about whether or not I should or could wait a few years to get pregnant.  I remember her saying, "you're so young, you have plenty of time."  Not once did she or any other GYN mention that there's an easy, quick blood test to test measure your ovarian reserve (AMH test).

I wish someone had told me about this.  I did get pregnant right away when I started trying at 35, easy pregnancy and delivery and healthy and happy baby, but then when we started TTC #2 at age 37 I found I could not get pregnant again because of low ovarian reserve (low AMH).  My AMH was .30 at age 37.

Fast forward 6 years of TTC, IUIs and IVFS (nothing ever worked) and I will never be able to have a second child with my own eggs.  DH and I decided to stop TTC this month, and give up.  I wish someone had told me years ago about the AMH blood test, which I would have gotten, which would have told me in my early 30s that I had declining ovarian reserve, so I would have gotten pregnant quickly and then been able to have had a second if I hadn't waited until 37 to get started.[/quote]
