[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you could have had good AMH at 30 and get a false sense of security.

these tests are not 100% reliable, far from to. I had AMH 0.18 one month and then 1.0 two months later.

the truth is - you don’t know until you try. and you did try and got pregnant easily so most likely your test at 30 would have told you you were very fertile and have nothing to worry about”.[/quote]

Op here.  When I met with an RE when I was 37 about why I couldn’t get pregnant and they ran tests which showed an Amy of .30 I was told that I most likely had low AMH  when I got pregnant at 35 and that I just got lucky to get pregnant on the first try at 35. So I think having the Amy test at 30 would have been helpful.[/quote]

30 is very different from 35. you still probably would have had excellent AMH at 30.

also, with all due respect, your RE has no clue what your AMH at 35 was. all he knows is that your AMH at 37 is 0.30 and that you haven't gotten pregnant.

finally, 0.30 is not that bad. it's not great, but people with that level get pregnant all the time. my AMH was lower than that and, while all my IVFs failed, i had two more kids on my own. quality is more important than quantity.

you haven't been able to get pregnant and you are looking for an explanation and this is your worst number so it looms large in your mind. the reality is that your AMH at 30 would probably have been excellent, that nobody knows how much it was at 35 (but we do know that you got pregnant easily!) and that it's been on a low end since 37.[/quote]
