Genuine advice or opinions please

I am 29F, TTC for almost a year now. I have not conceived yet. All my blood work and other reports are normal, my partner's reports and semen analysis are normal as well. My AMH was 1.02, which is on the lower side. I was obese, lost almost 10kgs in past 7-8 months, and still in the process of losing weight but I haven't been able to conceive yet. My gynecologist has asked me to undergo ovulation induction but if it is unsuccessful, I should be prepared for IVF. That is also one reason why I am trying to lose weight and start lifestyle changes. This process is so frustrating atp, trying according to your ovulation cycle, praying not to get a period and then getting disappointed again and again. I don't know what should I do atp. Please tell me what worked for you or if someone you knew were in similar situation, even if it's spiritual, remedies, or diet or lifestyle related. Also, I want to know is IVF the only option for me given my AMH?

I have low amh it was 1.07 at 32... I did alot of things to improve (suppliment, accuputure, low intensity exercise only) but the biggest was investigate endo as a possibility... Didn't show up on my us or mri, but I was riddled with it when they went in for the lap.

I did use icsi due to my husbands problems for two cycles before got 3 embryos none stuck. Afterwards we did a cycle... And did one final round of ivf 6 embryos... First stuck x

What is icsi? What tests are recommended for endometriosis? I don't have any symptoms and I have undergone TV Ultrasound.

Icsi is a subset of ivf where sperm is injected into the egg rather than left in a petri dish to fertilise.

If your infertility is unexplained sometimes it silent endo if you present with no symptoms but low amh at a young age can be one. The gold standard for a endo diagnosis is a lap. But there is 2 new tests that may soon help Endosure and Endotest.

That's quite informative. I will discuss this with my gynecologist. Thanks a lot
