Low AMH + endometriosis together honestly messed with my head so much before IVF 😞 I kept assuming retrievals would go terribly because of everything I’d read online. Did anyone here still end up responding better than expected during stims/retrieval despite having both?
I had low AMH and endometriosis and honestly I was so scared my eggs wouldn’t respond 😭 But during my IVF retrieval I actually got a good number and some quality eggs. It was such a relief and totally surprising to me!
Honestly having both low AMH and endometriosis used to make me feel like IVF conversations became pessimistic immediately 😕. I remember assuming retrievals would automatically go badly because every discussion around ovarian reserve and endo sounded sooo discouraging online. But one thing that genuinely surprised me while reading more deeply into IVF was realising how unpredictable response can still be, even with difficult fertility markers on paper.
Yes 😭 Low AMH + endo together can make every retrieval feel terrifying mentally, but I’ve genuinely seen women still respond much better than expected despite discouraging reports. Fertility numbers honestly dont always predict outcomes as perfectly as we think.
Yes 😕 tbh I’ve seen some ppl with really discouraging AMH numbers and endometriosis still end up responding much better than expected during retrievals. The frustrating part is that endo and low AMH make outcomes feel so unpredictable… some cycles underperform badly while others surprise everyone with decent mature egg numbers 😞
