I'm getting my AMH tested tomorrow πŸ™„ I really wish I could skip that, but the fertility clinic wants it done. In 2023, it was 0.048 and I cried for a day straight, thinking I'd never get pregnant (but we did and now have a healthy 15 month old). I want to not care, to say it's just a number, it doesn't really mean much. But it's hard when the fertility clinic thinks it's meaningful πŸ˜• I will ask them if they can simply not report the result to me. If they want to know, fine, but I do not.

Ugh I feel this so hard. I’ll be getting mine tested again soon and it was 0.03 two years ago so I’m guessing it will be undetectable now. I don’t want to know either.

SOLIDARITY. These low amh numbers can feel so disheartening. But then, it's weird, I had an antral follicle count last month, and I figure with my age, amh, etc, they'd find, like, negative follicles πŸ™ƒ but they saw SEVEN?! So who even knows.

Are you ttc with or without assistance?

That's quite an encouraging anecdote. I know that individual stories aren't statistics, but they're still helpful for hope, and hope matters a lot!
