AMH Confusion - Recurrent Miscarriage test

[RachaelRed]

Hi all,

I have been going through a bit of a fertility journey with recurrent miscarriages and all the [glorious] testing that goes on as a result.

I've had all my bloods done and slightly low progesterone, but will get treated for that when/if I fall pregnant again. I also had a scan and all was dandy in there, save for I 'only' had 10 follicles. As a result of the consultant saying I should have more at my age (32) I had my bloods down for AMH - which came back a 2.1ng.

The consultant said not to worry as it isn't 'too low' and doesn't indicate that I will have an issue in conceiving, but I did go on to Google the life out of AMH and everything I have received so far (including on Mumsnet) suggests that I may struggle to conceive naturally with AMH 2.1ng.

I've sent myself in to a panic that I maybe need to give up, but just wondering if there are any experts out there, or anyone who can tell me anything they know about the AMH levels; essentially do I need to just calm down and crack on?!

I'm starting acupuncture tomorrow which should hopefully help, but feeling like I may never be able to start my family.

Thank you

@RachaelRed are you in the UK? The levels you see on mumsnet are usually in pmol/L. Just had a look at conversion and 2.1ng is around 15 pmol/L which is ok!

@TTCIVF Hi, yes I am in the UK... I wonder if she didn't mean 2.1ng? She just said 2.1 then I have googled it and that is possibly just what I have got in my head. If it was 2.1pmol/L then I am guessing that wouldn't be so good and the consultant wouldn't be saying I should be fine to conceive?

The confusion thickens!

@TTCIVF Hi, I've managed to get through to the clinic and I was wrong - it is 2.1pmo/l...

Am I right in thinking that really isn't good?

@RachaelRed well as far as I can gather the consensus is that it shouldn't be a barrier to natural conception BUT it does indicate that response to IVF stimulation drugs might not be that good so depends if you are considering IVF. However it does need to be looked at in conjunction with follicle count and 10 isn't terrible! You mention recurrent miscarriages (sorry to hear that) so you are falling pregnant which is a good sign. Have they tested your thyroid and any blood clotting issues?

@TTCIVF Thank you, I've had all other tests and I possibly have slightly low progesterone but all other results came back. I am feeling quite heartbroken by it all
