My AMH went up 7x! | How fast AMH falls #advancedmaternalage | #IVF #lowAMH #infertility #IVFat40

I have infertility due to DOR (diminished ovarian reserve), which means a low AMH. Anything under 1 ng/mL is considered low, but I'm in the zeros - 0.06 ng/mL. Well..... it went up by 7 times when I retested a few months ago!

Right now, I'm in the middle of getting IVF treatments done abroad in South Korea. I'm done embryo banking and now waiting for the FET (frozen embryo transfer). In this video, I share my entire AMH history since I started testing regularly in 2021, and share how fast it has declined since then. I also share everything I've been doing before I got my AMH levels up - including my fertility diet, supplements and lifestyle choices.

About me ❤
My name is Hellynn and live in the US, but I've traveled to Korea (where I'm from) to undergo multiple rounds of IVF. Being 40 and trying to bring children into the world is hard, but I also have diminished ovarian reserve, so I'm doing back-to-back IVF egg retrievals.

Navigating this world of infertility is definitely a challenge - a million new acronyms, hormones and protocols to learn - it's a lot. So I thought I'd just talk about everything I've been learning for the women out there who have had similar struggles. I'm also happy to share info with anyone who is interested in traveling to Korea for IVF, since it's much more cost efficient with high success rates.

I am treating this YT channel as my diary, talking about the ups and downs of my journey to motherhood so that one day, hopefully, my babies will see how they were created... with fierce, enduring strength and love.

I hope you find my videos helpful - thanks for stopping by.

5 years of Trying, tried 1 ivf, and other injection treatment my amh level was 0.46 . Now I am finally pregnant .I am 8 weeks pregnant and hoping this pregnancy goes well

Best of luck with th transfer! I'm sure at least one will be successful 🤗
I'm turning 43 this year, and been single for 6 years now, so I have decided to do IVF with donor sperm. I have very low ovarian reserve also, my AMH is 0.07, and unfortunately I won't be able to have several rounds of IVF because of the cost. So I'm praying for a miracle to happen and have one healthy embryo.

Hi! Please try acupuncture. I had a successful IVF transfer in October and today am 17 weeks pregnant- and I'm 47. Praying for the best for you!

U can't believe that your story is like light in darkness to many people

[crystalbaucom]

GURL how can you be 40 years old. You literally look in your 20's! My AMH is .26. Thank you for sharing! <3

[shaligasuksomsong]

Good luck on the embryos! I hear pomegranate juice and prenatals should help. Also basic stuff like extra sleep can help prepare for embryo transfer. I’m going through the same process. I wish us both luck! 😊

Ladies, check your vitamin d and iron levels. Also try to have a less stressfull life. I improved my amh from 0.8 to 2.0! (Yes, i know it‘s crazy but it is the truth) I live in a country with almost no sunny days and my vitamin d level was very bad, after fixing my vitamin d level, my amh was normal.

Thanks for sharing with us with your latest update. I followed your journey from the very beginning till now. It’s good to hear that you have 7 embryos. Hopefully everything go well with your transfer. We left messages to each other in your other video. Not sure if u remember me or not. Sadly, I have a miscarriage lately and now under recovery. I got pregnant after 6 months I found out I only have 0.1 AMH. I was all over the moon. However, the baby was now gone and I felt very devastated. I told myself I must carrying on and don’t give up on this journey. I just wanna encourage other women that there’s always hope.

Thanks for sharing your journey, I can empathize with you much. I had a miscarriage 3 years ago at 31 and it was such a deep loss. We didn’t use any contraception but didn’t get pregnant again. Found out my AMH was very low for my age (2.6 for 33yo, ultrasound show 0-2 follicles only) and was advised to try IVF straight away knowing the chance is low. Miraculously, I found out I was pregnant 1wk after the test result, and now counting down to holding our rainbow baby in 2-3 wk time, thank God!
I credit my success story similar to what you shared, a change of diet and lifestyle. Eat a variety of food, including organ meat, bone broth, salmon and fatty fish, red meat, focusing on quality (grass fed, cage free or wild caught), go cold turkey on caffeine and very little on alcohol, go for sunshine to get more vitamin D, it’s so critical to regulate all our hormones! And yes, no plastic especially on hot food, no perfume etc. Surprisingly or not, these are living principles for good health, and fertility is a byproduct of that!

You can check out these 2 books that are so impactful in my journey: Deep Nutrition by Catherine Shanahan and It starts with the egg by Rebecca Fett. All the best for those who are trying!

Keep in mind that amh does not indicate your total egg reserves. It indicates the amount of eggs that are maturing each month. There is no way to tell what your total dormant egg reserves are. Amh is new and very misunderstood it means that a woman has fewer follicles that mature to eggs each month (not always a bad thing when trying naturally since only one egg can drop per month and the rest die off! It can also mean that you are losing less eggs per month)

Thank you so much for updating us with your ivf journey and for inspiring us with every post you make. Baby dust ❤

[AnalogTendai]

Thank you for sharing your story, it is touching more women than you know. YEY! on a higher AMH. All the best to you and your journey :)

[amritha]

My doc said me to stop worrying about low amh value. I started yoga and medicines. Now im pregnant naturally

[Jess-ittb]

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm in the same situation my AMH is very low I'm 36 now. You're so lucky to have a husband to support you. I'm on my own at the moment but so concerned about having a little one one day. I found it very hard to go through the whole process on my own. I wish you all the best keep us updated and you're absolutely Gorgeous 🥰

[CrystalM]

Idk if this is helpful at all but I'm 38 with an amh of 6.34ng/ml and I've still been trying to conceive my 3rd child for almost 5 years in April. Amh is only one part of the picture for sure. I wish you so much success!
