Low AMH - Natural conception possible?

Hello, we’ve been TTC for our second for almost 2 years. Having spend almost 3 years ttc our son, I went to a private fertility clinic to have tests done this time and make sure everything was ok.
I was told I have low AMH for my age - 34 yrs old with AMH 3.9 pmol/l.
I was told to go for IVF in 6 months before I lose too many more eggs, but we can’t really afford to go down that route.
mom wondering if anyone has any success stories of natural conception with low AMH?
thanks so much x

Yes, my amh was 2.8 age 34. I was told I needed ivf and that natural conception was going to be difficult. I was referred for ivf but then immediately got pregnant naturally. Unfortunately it ended in miscarriage. Then I went back to the ivf which actually worked first time despite a very low number of eggs.

when the ivf baby was 8 months old and my Period came back we started ttc immediately (naturally), I assumed it would take years or not be possible. Instead I was staring at a positive test two weeks later. My children have 16 months between them.

studies have shown that low amh on its own makes no difference to natural conception- look it up.

I do acknowledge that you’ve been trying some time however - so perhaps I was lucky but I’m not the only one with this type of story. For example, One of my best friends had a very similar amh and got pregnant at 41 (naturally) with her last child, so I wouldn’t let that issue alone make you think it’s not going to happen.

@Ilikeviognier Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Your story does give me hope. I have been doing a lot of Googling and it seems that low AMH doesn't affect natural conception too much, so fingers crossed it will work for us at some point.
