What was your AMH and how many eggs did you get?

[Zest11]

Hi,

I am interested to know people's experiences with EC and AMH and possibly age. I am 31, have an AMH of 11 and the nurse said they would expect to collect 8-10 eggs with that. Would anyone else care to share what theirs was and how things progressed? E.g. day 2/5 transfer? How many did you have to freeze?

Thank you!

@Zest11 My understanding is that AMH gives the consultants an idea of how many eggs a woman has left and they use it to predict how someone will respond to treatment so they'll probably give someone with a low AMH a much higher dose of follicle stimulating hormones to try to get more eggs per cycle than someone with a higher AMH who would be at greater risk of OHSS.

[CornishMaid1]

First cycle I was 35, AMH was around 31 or 32.

Lite cycle due to risk of OHSS with high AMH and 1 egg collected which didn't fertilise.

BottomleyPottsSpots2 how many of your 6 blasts that you tested were genetically normal?

[Chillichutney1]

At 36 my AMH was 15.6, Antral follicle count was 28, we had 36 follicles, 16 retrieved, 8 fertilised, 4 to blastocyst.

Had two put back in and got my ds2, and another two put back in 2 years later which stuck but miscarried, so in all those eggs there was only 1 goodie

Hi I had an AMH 3.4
7 eggs retrieved
6 fertilised with icsi
4 made it to day 5 blastocyst
2 were transferred as both poor quality
(Other two were not graded as too poor quality)

BFP on one of those in my double embryo transfer. I currently have my healthy 3 month old daughter sleeping next to me in her cot. That was my first ivf cycle. I must have found my golden egg 🥚 x

[Zest11]

Thank you all so much for replying and sharing your experiences. My conclusions are that no conclusions can be drawn from this!

1.2 at 34.
4 eggs, 4 fertilised, 2 blasts, bfn.

[BottomleyPottsSpots2]

AMH of 21.6 aged 35.

Clinic 1 (Greece) ICSI
Short protocol > 24 eggs > 3 x 3 day embryos transferred fresh and 2 6 day blasts frozen. Resulted in 6 week miscarriage (fresh) and BFN (FET).

Clinic 2 (UK) IVF
Short protocol > 26 eggs (!) > 3 x 5day and 3x 6 day blasts. Freeze-all (sent for PGS). FET of genetically normal blast resulted in current 19 week pregnancy.

In my case, my AMH means that I make loads of eggs but they're not necessarily going to fertilise or indeed do anything other than send my oestrogen very high and make me feel rubbish. We definitely shouldn't have transferred on my first cycle as the OHSS risk was huge looking back. I don't have PCOS or anything like that ... just go like a rocket on the lowest dose of stimms. Which is a huge pain. Hoping that I never have to do IVF again!

[Whatelsecouldibecalled]

@zest11. Yes it was a huge relief. At least one stage over with for now. Praying for the next part to be successful. Clinic said I was high risk because I had 30 follicles (not all mature) at last scan and my oestrogen levels were through the roof. They made the decision to freeze all on day of egg collection. At first I was upset but then after the state I was in after egg collection I’m
Glad that I have had time to recover properly

[hoping2018]

Age 31 for cycle 1. AMH 8.4. 20 eggs - 14 fertilised embryos - no good quality blasts day 5.

Age 32 for cycle 2. AMH not re tested. DH has surgical retrieval of sperm this time.
22 eggs, 13 fertilised. 2 transferred day 3. One baby (just breastfeeding him now!) and two Frosties in the freezer.

[ellesbellesxxx]

At the age of 32, my AMH was 6.3... got 8 eggs, two which were early blastos on day 5 transfer and turned two this week!!!

[LillyLeaf]

I was tested at 35 and it was 15, we got 8 eggs, 6 fertilised, 5 5day blastocysts. You just never know what you'll get.

[windy2909]

What an interesting thread....it’s amazing how much results vary, especially in relation to AMH!

When tested at 35, almost 36, my AMH was 17.4. Bizarrely I had to have a freeze all due to risk of OHSS, but they only managed to retrieve 6 eggs from me, even though I had much more follicles.

All 6 were mature but only 3 fertilised. If those 3, 2 were good enough to freeze. My first fet was non medicated and resulted in a bfp. I am now 34 weeks pregnant.

[Zest11]

Gosh, it really is just luck isn't it. Thank you all for sharing.

KinkyFink wow that sounds like a bad amh but clearly it made no odds for you! That's great!

Whatelsecouldibecalled it sounds like we are in a v similar position agewise amh wise and transfer time. The plan for our transfer (fresh) is the beginning of July if it makes it to blast and obviously getting eggs and everything in the first place. How did you find out you were at risk of OHSS? The clinic didn't seem to think that would be an issue for me due to my amh. I would absolutely love 5 for the freezer, must be a real relief for you!

[KinkyFink]

Amh was 0.3 (!) at 31.

Got 5 eggs, all mature, all good quality. Only one transferred because the clinic fucked up and put 4 in the wrong solution.

That one is now a 6 year old.

[homemadegin]

Amh 5.2 zero eggs twice

[Whatelsecouldibecalled]

Sorry should say those in freezer are 5 day blastocysts and 1 6 day blast

[Whatelsecouldibecalled]

I’m 31 AmH 11.4. I got 14 eggs 5 making it to high quality to freeze. Was a freeze all cycle due to high risk OHSS. Hoping for FET in July x

[Waterdropsdown]

Amh 5.4 tested at 32
First cycle at 33 got 11 eggs and 9 mature all rubbish at day 3 but 2 transferred bfn
Second cycle at 33 got 11 eggs and 9 mature, 7 fertilised transfer of 2 blasts on day 5 resulted in miscarriage. 5 blasts frozen.
Fet of 2 of these made my twins
Difference first nhs cycle they gave me so many drugs I was so ill. Second cycle really good private clinic with great scientists. Amazing difference.

[PipsM]

Amh 2.2. Round 1= 2 eggs. Both went to 5 day blast. 1 put back as FET who is now a healthy happy 1 year old boy. The other egg didn’t grow any more so no more embryos but am happy with our 1! Good luck, it’s a roller coaster

[IVFusername]

@Zest11 unexplained for us, we already have children. NK cells and clotting factors all normal along with everything else being normal. Literally no known reason why we aren't pregnant normally let alone with IVF, it feels like it's just not going to happen and I'm trying to work out if I'm ok with that. Best of luck xx

[BeHereNowx32]

@Zest11 I very nearly didn’t try again. We were looking into adoption. But just decided one more try.
Didn’t get much feedback as to why it didn’t work. Doctor said I probably had poor embryos quality... (we were Male factor infertility. I didn’t seem to have anything wrong).

I definitely made myself relax more during the last 2 week wait. Sat out in the sun more too! It is horrible to go through. So sending you all the best xx

[Holidayrage]

AMH 131 (!) at age 37
40 ish follicles but only 12 mature eggs collected from those
9 fertilised
4 blastocysts

Fresh transfer: BFP (DD)
FET # 1: BFP (MMC of identical twins)
FET # 2: BFP (now 35 weeks pregnant)

[Ilikeviognier]

My amh was useless- 2.8.

2 eggs. 1 embryo. 1 bfp- he’s now 4.5 demanding cake!

So yes success can’t be predicted by amh levels. It’s certainly a factor, but there’s other things at play.

[EdtheBear]

Oh I should say I was 40 and my primary issue was PCOS.
