Hi everyone, new to this sub. I’m 30, turning 31 in a few months. I was on the pill for years, and got off in July 2023. My cycles are short (23-26 days) but have been regular ever since coming off the pill, and I am tracking ovulation via LH strips and BBT.
I just had my hormones checked, and my AMH was low (0.85) and FSH was normal (7). I’m really healthy otherwise (fit, no underlying conditions, minimal alcohol, clean diet, regular cycle). I’m on a protocol to get everything back to a more normal level, and then we’ll re-test in about 3 months.
My husband and I would love to have 3 kids, and were not planning on TTC quite yet but may reconsider our timeline due to all of this. I know low AMH isn’t the end of the world but it does make me a little nervous to wait another year before starting to try. None of my friends have experienced this so I feel kind of alone.
I guess I just wanted to vent because I want to be a mom so bad, and I want to be ready to start trying. We both have great jobs, own a house, have supportive families, etc so if I did get pregnant it wouldn’t be the end of the world. But I also wanted to wait a little bit longer because we’re both focused on our career, want to do a little more traveling this year, and I have a few big fitness goals I’d like to hit before pregnancy. But now I’m worried that waiting too long may jeopardize our ability to naturally conceive and I’d always think about the what ifs. Anyone else conflicted about when to start trying?![Weary face :weary: 😩](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f629.png)
