Hello
I am 32 and DH is 35. We've been TTC for over a year, including monitoring ovulations with strips and timing intercourse accordingly.
We have recently contacted an expert RE and were sent to do several tests.
Here is the summary:
* uterus x-ray test (forgot the name) -- all fine, tubes are open
* semen analysis -- high count, mediocre motility (38%) and low morphology (8%).
* (worse part was) -- very low AMH level of 0.2 mg/mL. Normal range for this lab should be above 0.4.
This AMH result made our RE switch gears from recommending IUI to recommending IVF. The argument is simply that we don't have time to waste on taking chances with IUIs, which have far lower success rates.
What do you think? would you agree?
Thanks!!
