also are there any natural ways to supplement or support it. the fertility clinics in my country are very old school. i asked them if there was a way to see if im ovulating they said no, you're having periods it means you're ovulating.......
the one time i caught my lh surge on opks i have a very short luteal phase. my cycles are getting shorter and I've started spotting before periods which was never the case before. my amh is on the lower side but afc is "average"
i really need to check if i have luteal phase defect
im very confused. all my life I've had resistent acne and hirsutism. my period came every month but the cycle were short. periods were also very painful, terribly painful. all my derms label me as having pcos. have had multiple scans, previous ones say normal but one done a couple of years ago said polycystic ovaries with ovarian volume 9.8cc.
now that im 14 months ttc and have nothing to show for, got my blood workup done including lh, fsh, prolactin, amh, vit d, insulin, glucose, hba1c. all normal except for low amh of 1.07 and vit d 20
got my first transvaginal scan today that says no pcos? i don't have the report in had so can't give numbers but they said "average" AFC and no polycystic ovaries? what happened there? do i not have pcos?
the acne and beard is still flourishing with no answers. no baby either.
and more importantly, what is your experience? i have hair under my chin whicu got worse after laser. i got laser done from cutera
i want to try electrolysis now but don't know where to go
im 34, ttc for over 1 year. my cycles have always been super regular but short 25 days. my AMH came out to be 1.07 which is low. FSH and LH are normal. I've been noticing my cycles getting shorter for last few months, this cycle has been 23 days which got me concerned. im waiting for my first fertility ultrasound this weekend. but low amh and shortening cycles all point towards DOR
i feel devastated, how do you get over something like this? my poor husband deserved so much better i can't stop crying
TTC 14 cycles, just started spotting today :( i've noticed since the last maybe 6 months, my cycles are getting shorter. they used to be regular around 25-26 days and no its like 23 days. i have trouble tracking my ovulation, even when i test twice a day, the line starts getting darker and then suddenly very light. i don't know if my LH isn't surging at all or i miss it. my abnormal fertility workup includes low AMH 1.07 at 34 years and 1% morphology in my husband's SA.
i have acne and excess hair so derms always suspected PCOS as well. but doesn't PCOS have longer cycles? i don't know what it could mean
ttc for over an year now going through fertility workup. have never ever seen a positive test ita so heartbreaking
sometimes i scroll around in line eyes posts to see people getting their faint positives and its so exciting i really want to feel that
i can't help but feel something is really really broken inside me, God made a women's body optimized to have children, women all over the world are scared of getting pregnant "accidentally" and here i am desperately waiting for something in me to respond and act normally
it just keeps getting worse.
im 34 my husband is 36, we've been TTC for over an year now just got out first fertility workup done and the nightmare started, my AMH is 1.07 and he has severe teratozoospermia with 1% morphology. this is so odd to me, he doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, nothing seems to be wrong (maybe overwreight but not obese). other tests i've done are FSH, LH, Prolactic, fasting insulin and glucose, and thyroid, all are fine except low vitamin D which im treating.
rest of the SA report looks fine, but just 1% normal morphology is so alarming to me. my doctor's appointment is still one week ahead, this is going to be a very tough week at work i don't know how im gonna concentrate without my head spiraling in hell
it just keeps getting worse.

i know how annoying it is for most people when they hear "don't take stress" like, stress isn't the only factor affecting our inability to concieve.
but for me, i have chronic stress problems, i know it affects my body in many many ways. my stress and anxiety are debilitating. i lose sleep, i have vivid bone-chilling nightmares when i do get to sleep, im unable to think about anything else, my work, my relationships are alll being compromised.
i recently got tested and found out my AMH is 1.07 at age 34. im still spiralling down a hole with no end, my doctor's appointment is still 10 days later and i can't think about anything else. how do i deal with it? i've heard of so many people concieving with low AMH but my mind doesn't stop overthinking. i can't even talk to my mum because i didn't tell her about my tests and i know when i'll talk to her i won't be able to keep it in
i have a constant knot in my stomach, buzzing in my legs and my stomach is exploding (i blat with stress)
need HELP
i made a post here discussing my first fertility tests. because i always had suspicion of PCOS (due to some ultrasound findings) i took a preemptive appointment with an endocrinologist. now my FSH, LH, Prolactin are fine but AMH is low for my age (34) 1.07
my fertility doctor's appointment is still 2 weeks ahead, before that would it help talking to the endo? can they give me any clarity on low AMH levels and if natural conception is in the cards for me? i've been crying since i got my results i don't know how did it happen. my vitamin D is also a bit low (20 ng/ml) and i deal with chronic anxiety and stress. i know these tests are not enough to diagnose PCOS i just don't know how to stop spiralling.
i will be 34 this year, my symptoms include hair under my chin and acne. because i used to go to the derm a lot for these symptoms they will all get ultrasounds for me. i've had multiple of them and only one of them said they can see polycystic ovaries with volume around 9.2-9.8 cc. i have normal tsh, fasting insulin and glucose. regular periods. BMI within range.
now i did some tests for my fertility:
| Test | Your result |
|---|---|
| FSH | 4.43 mIU/mL |
| LH | 3.89 mIU/mL |
| LH:FSH ratio | 0.88 |
| Prolactin | 10.8 ng/mL |
| AMH | 1.07 ng/mL |
so i kinda freaked out yesterday, honestly still feeling very disheartened. although reddit did knock some sense into me
i will be 34 next month, its over an year since we started TTC. niether of us smoke or drink ever. i've had regular periods, cycle lasting 24-25 days, have some signs of PCOS such as acne and some hair under my chin. had an ultrasound long ago showing "polycystic ovaries" and ovarian volume of around 9.5 cc
these tests were done on CD3
| Test | Your result |
|---|---|
| FSH | 4.43 mIU/mL |
| LH | 3.89 mIU/mL |
| LH:FSH ratio | 0.88 |
| Prolactin | 10.8 ng/mL |
| AMH | 1.07 ng/mL |
the AMH freaked me out!!! still it doesn't explain why i haven't concieved yet? my appointment is in 2 weeks and i desperately need to talk to someone about these. my husband will get his SA this weekend
other info, my fasting insulin, glucose is normal, TSH is normal while vitamin D is a bit low (20 ng/ml)

i have started to avoid calls, because it know it will be the only thing she will talk about?
im happy for her, but im struggling and trying for over an year with nothing to show for. she was one of those "we didn't even try" ones
i just have no interest in these talks.
i have SO much health anxiety, afraid of finding out something incurable. i can't breath its too much for my nervous system to take in. nobody understands this its so frustrating.
even when im getting my mum's health checks done i have to prepare myself for days and then i can't stop checking every minute of the day if we got the results back i would literally not get any work done all day. and with a job its so jard to focus
my doctor said to get FSH, LH, estradiol, prolactin, TSH, and AMH. but he did not write any ultrasound for me? should i go for an ultrasound anyway? i can get it done without a prescription here but i don't know why he didn't just write it for me.
did you guys get ultrasounds as initial fertility work up as well?
particularly for >sensitive< areas?
was buidling up a little tiny hope this month since we timed everything, i've been working out, eating clean and i prayed so SO much. it all came crashing down when i saw some specks of blood last night, it was 11dpo for me CD 23? my cycles are getting shorter its worrying me so much. i decided to get tested for hormones for the first time since starting TTC (over 1 year). my doctor said to get tested on anywhere between CD2-4.
problem is, i don't know if that specks of blood at 11 pm last night counted as CD1? im still only spotting today, no real bleeding, does today count as CD1? when should i get those tests? my cycles used to be at least 25 days now they're getting shorter with these 2 days of spotting then real bleeding. i don't understand what is going on.
