Question

Blocked Tube, Low AMH, High FSH, short luteal phase - help!

Hello,

I've been TTC for 7 months, I'm going on 35.
After a recent HSG test, it was discovered that I have a blocked tube (waiting to find out if it's a fibroid or an anatomical issue), high fsh (12.2), low AMH (.7) and a very short luteal phase (8 or so days).

I recently started seeing an acupuncturist and am taking all of the recommended herbs but with these 4 obstacles, I'm feeling very hopeless.

My ob/gyn said the next step is to see a fertility specialist. Unfortunately my crappy insurance doesn't cover ANY fertility treatments, so any interventions would be out of pocket, which is a very overwhelming prospect.

Has anyone else dealt with a similar set of issues and obstacles as these? I am feeling like conceiving will be impossible with all 4 of these problems.

Any thoughts/advice appreciated.

I can't speak for the first 3 issues, but some women have had great success lengthening their luteal phase with vitamin B6. It's cheap and natural so certainly worth a try.

Many women have also experienced great results from acupuncture. Personally I tried one session, but my anxiety got the better of me. Don't lose hope, many women experience similar issues & much more and go on to conceive. Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the info, ladies.
What's so frustrating is that I am healthy weight, I exercise 4x/week, eat well (including a good deal of organic foods and hardly any processed foods). I truly cannot say this is due to poor nutrition/health in my case.

Check that you are getting all these vitamins in you prenatal/separately as a starting point, vitamin D3 is 1,000mg, vitamin B6 is 100mg, folic acid for women of childbearing age is at least 400mg, vitamin C is 65mg, iron is 54mg.

Google Vitamin D3 is recomended for women with low AMH and B6 will make your luteal phase longer/correct it.

This shouldn't cost to much but could really help
