I am 54 years old and have been going through perimenopause for 20 years, experiencing irregular periods and severe lower back pain during my current 12-day period. I also have conditions such as RA, OA, DDD, a broken L5, Barrett's esophagus, and worsening acid reflux despite taking 40mg Nexium daily. Is this normal for my age and medical conditions, or should I seek further medical attention?

I am 34 years old and recently had a miscarriage. My AMH level is 3.9 pmol/L, which is considered low for fertility. I also have beta thalassemia minor. What are the implications of my low AMH level for my fertility and chances of getting pregnant naturally or through IVF? Should I try naturally first, and how long should I wait before considering IVF? Additionally, could my low AMH be influenced by the recent miscarriage or my use of Nuvaring birth control?
