Finally called Dr. A regarding my blood tests. The blood test revealed my Anti-Mullerian hormone — a new marker for ovarian function. She wanted to see my test result to be 1.0 or higher. She said a test of less than 0.7 is considered low and notes a low ovarian reserve. My test results were 0.3 which is really low. That means I have few eggs left. Dr. A couldn’t say how many eggs I have left. The test isn’t that good, but it does tell her that she would need to use a really aggressive protocol for me if I did IVF again.
I keep saying again because I did IVF once. I’ll share that story in another post sometime soon. Suffice to say: my first attempt with IVF ended at 10 weeks in a miscarriage.
Dr. A can’t tell me what my chances would be if I did IVF. Meaning she can’t say I have a 30% chance of having a live birth with IVF. It all depends on how many eggs I produced with the meds. If I released three good eggs which fertilized into healthy embryos, then she said I’d have a 30% chance…but it all depends on how my body responds to her treatment protocol.
Gotta think long and hard about this decision. Time is ticking and my eggs are few.
