Question : I had 3 day blood work for fertility testing two month in a row first month my FSH was 11.1 and LH 6.5 and estriol was 65 and amh was .39 and doctor basically said i was broadline DOR and suggested IUI then second month i repeated blood work and now my FSH was 5.6 LH 6.5 estradiol 84.4 and amh .29 my question is how reliable is amh and since my FSH went back to normal the following month but my estradiol increased what do u think is my real FSH number and does this still mean it is hard for me got get pregnant?

Brief Answer:
Go for IVF immediately

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply :

1) AMH is more reliable than FSH. This definitely shows decreased ovarian reserve.

2) Considering your age your ovarian reserve is likely to be low.

3) I suggest you go ahead with IVF immediately without wasting more time further.

4) Don't do anymore IUI.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
