TTC age 35 and low AMH

I'm almost 35 yrs and ttc after coming off the pill in September 2020 (so 4 months ago).

Gynae did blood tests after the pill and said my AMH is very low, and to start medicated cycles (ovulation induction, trigger for a few months) then IUI and eventually IVF.

I feel like we are maybe being pushed into this quite early on, my body has barely had time to breathe since the pill and now being bombarded with hormones etc.

Am I being paranoid thinking my body needs to find a rhythm or am I just wasting time and need to jump straight in??

I know normally people are told to try for 6 months before possible intervention, but we hadn't even tried for 2 months.

Obviously trying to be more positive in general but at the same time don't want to bury my head in the sand if this outlook does not look promising.

If anyone has similar experience I would love to hear what your thoughts are? Head is a bit crazy at the moment.
Thanks to all!

Hm was this private? If so then I'd be wary of them trying to push these things as obviously they make money off of it. I've certainly seen ones in the past where they wouldn't even prescribe ovulation meds as they wanted to push the lady straight to the more lucrative IVF options.

How low is your low AMH? I'd perhaps be tempted to schedule those things in for cycle 7 and let your body have a go at the first 6.

Low AMH sounds scary but is only really relevant for IVF purposes, otherwise it's the quality over quantity of the eggs that counts. So I'd perhaps get straight on the ubiquinol supplements to help boost that side of things.
