Brief Answer:
Opt for PGD

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concerns about secondary infertility.

Please read my suggestion carefully keeping in mind previous down's syndrome history.

Your AMH is low at 0.46, meaning your follicular reserve is extremely low. Natural pregnancy chances are low and you need to go for IVF soon.

Previous down's syndrome is a risk factor for present pregnancy also. Hence you need to go for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) procedure where embryos are checked presence of down's syndrome and only disease free normal embryos are transferred.

You should not waste any more time and hurry with procedure soon.

Let me know if you need any more clarifications.

Normal Semen Analysis

I saw your husband's semen analysis report. It is normal and nothing to worry.

Doctor,
Mekri circle is too far me. .I stay in marathahalli area. .especially I need to take my son also every where. .r u visiting any other centres near this area? Should I need to take any prenatal supplements before going for ivf? I am taking folvite 5mg every day. .is there any way to improve amh count? Alternate methods like acupuncture and ayurveda will help? Please reply. .

Brief Answer:
AMH cannot be improved

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Folic acid is more than enough for prenatal. Nothing else is needed.

Unfortunately there is no way to improve AMH. It shows your egg reserve.

I understand your difficulty in carrying son with you everywhere. But I think you should consult once and ckarify all your doubt and get an ultrasound acan from me to assess egg reserve to compare with AMH.

I don't consult anywhere else near Marathahalli. You can come sometime when husband has holiday (saturday) and know all options.

Ayurveda, acupuncture and alternative medicines are not helpful.

Let me know if you need any more information.
