I'm 28, and only have one ovary after one was removed (due to a large cyst) several years ago. I found out last year that my remaining ovary has another cyst on it that will need to be removed too, but was advised to pursue fertility preservation (namely egg/embryo freezing) in case I ended up losing the ovary in surgery.
I initially had my AMH tested in January and it was normal; I've been waiting since then to get NHS funding approval and am about to start the egg freezing process but when my AMH was retested recently it was very low – less than 1. I also haven't had a period since July.
My doctor is happy to go ahead with attempting stimulation/egg collection because there are no other options for me at this stage, so I might as well, but I know the chance of getting any eggs to freeze isn't good with such a low AMH, which is a pretty big blow.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has experienced anything similar – my case is so complicated that I feel massively alone, especially as I'm not actively TTC; I'm just hoping to be able to have the option of having children if I decide to do so further down the line.
Basically I'd hugely appreciate any advice/hope you can offer, as things feel pretty desperate at the moment. Thank you!
