I doubt that is it in isolation (esp. given that FSH remained normal) but AMH has proven a funny thing for us with many people getting wildly different AMH readings in different months even though the "experts" claim it cannot change - it can and does.Quote:

This is "Goldie the Golden Egg" and it does happen, if you just keep TTC you have a chance every month that Goldie will show up. :)Quote:

Thank you Atomic, where can I find the Atomic fertility diet? I have an appointment with RE on Tuesday to see if we can qualify for IVF, my OBGYNE was not very encouraging! She said that we will need an egg donor! Hopefully the fertility specialist can tell me if we have other options as my husband is not open to egg donor option! I am praying and praying for a healthy pregnancy and willing to do what it takes! I have stopped caffeine and eating super healthy and taking fertility multivitamins! Hopefully this will help! Thank you for all of your support, this site helps me get through the day!
In this thread 5 from the top http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...rt-3-pcos.html (anyone can use it, this isn't just for people with PCOS)
I would look at the egg donor option very seriously. I know it's not the first and ideal option but if you do really truly need IVF that will be by far your best shot and what science has discovered is that your uterine environment actually has huge effects on who that little girl would turn out to be - she would still be yours even if the original DNA isn't. :)
Clomid doesn't have that side effect at all, they couldn't prescribe it if it did. Clomid has been the best thing to ever happen to me fertility wise. I don't ovulate at all and have now had pregnancies using it! Honestly I wouldn't have my little boy without it. It's a great drug for short term use :)
I eat at around 10.30, it's still good as you are still skipping breakfast and not eating so early. I think that's ok, remember you need to be able to actually get through your sway :)Quote:

However, still getting period way too early, I just got spotting on day 16! So depressing; but I am staying positive and praying for things to work! I hope IVF is an option for us with my own eggs, my husband is not open to donor eggs! Anyone out there experienced this, short cycles and low estrogen (premenopausal) that have been able to conceive? Please any feedback would be great, baby dust to all!
:agree: I also ate at 10:30 many times if I had been up real early (which I often was back then)Quote:

If you are lowering your estrogen levels with herbs and vitamins then this could def. be causing weird cycles and strange readings in hormone blood tests.
If your cycles have been getting shorter over the course of many months or years then yes maybe indicative of POF but if it just suddenly started out of the blue then there may be more going on. I would like you to post the ingredients in your fertiliy vitamins and I personally recommend you to wean off B6 NOW and just start a normal multivitamin with 100% B6. there is no need to take more than 100% B6 no matter what the vitamin peddlers say.
