Hi everyone!
I'm 35, and looking for some advice, as my AMH and follicle count has massively decreased this year, and I am trying to figure out when to time egg freezing given my recent lifestyle and levels of stress.
I had my AMH in April, it was 7pmol/L. I then had my follicles counted in July, there were 18.
Then in July I finally got pregnant after 2 years of trying, and ended up miscarrying in September at 10.5 weeks.
I was super stressed and upset for a while after the miscarriage. Since the miscarriage I have also eaten a bit less healthy, done less yoga, and less relaxation, and also on 3 occasions drunk 3-4 large glasses of wine. Prior to the pregnancy this year I'd lived an extremely healthy lifestyle, minimising stress and not drinking at all.
Now my long relationship ended a couple of weeks ago, and this has been also extremely upsetting and stressful.
I then got my AMH done again - it has dropped in 7 months to 2.7pmol/L. I also had a follicle count done a couple of days ago, and they could only see 5. This is a huge huge drop in a really short amount of time! I've seen a doctor and she said its really unusual.
Now I'm trying to figure out what to do. Should I just freeze my eggs immediately, on the next cycle (and probably for the next 3 back to back), as it looks like my fertility might be dropping off a cliff, or should I wait some time to live a really healthy and stress-free life for 3 months before collection. I'm really torn as I know stress is a big factor, and I've been extremely stressed a lot since the end of September, with the miscarriage and then my long term relationship ending recently.
Any experiences or advice? Should I just collect eggs as quickly as possible, or should I try and give my body some time to be in the best state it can before the collection?
This is a rather long post but I'd really appreciate any suggestions or advice.
