AMH‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ and Ovarian Reserve: What an AMH Level Shows and When to Get Help

Fertility is a different story for every woman. Some may need no more than a short time to conceive, while some others may need medical support as well as some time. However, one question pops quite frequently in the heads of those women who are trying to get pregnant:

"Do I still have enough good-quality eggs?"

That is why AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) as well as ovarian reserve testing came into the picture. Not because it prognosticates whether you are able to become a mother or not but because it tells how many eggs you still have and which fertility method would be the most suitable.

If you are looking for information on AMH levels, ovarian reserve or fertility treatment time, then you are already making the right move: instead of guessing, you are looking for clarity.

We certainly want to clear things up, being as honest and straightforward as possible.

What Is AMH?

AMH is one of the hormones that are discharged by the small maturing follicles in the ovary.

It is this level that gives the most important insight:

How many eggs (or egg-producing follicles) you have left.

It is not a signal of the eggs being healthy - it only states the number of likely ones.

---

What Does Ovarian Reserve Mean?

One female is born with a limited number of eggs in her ovaries - and the number decreases with her growing older.

Your ovarian reserve tells two things:

• How many eggs remain

• How well the ovaries may respond to treatment if needed

It doesn't determine your fertility completely - but it works as a stepping-stone to the right plan.

What Is a Normal AMH Level?

AMH scores are influenced by your age, lab standards, and personal biology, and as such, don't be alarmed if your figure turns out to be less than that of someone else.

These values are not definite solutions - they are only clues.

Why Do Women Test AMH?

Typical AMH testing scenarios would look like this:

• Trying to conceive without success

• Age is over 30-35

• Irregular periods

• Suspected PCOS

• Considering IVF treatment

• Planning pregnancy later

• Recovering from cancer treatment

• Previous ovarian surgery

Moreover, it is very frequently done prior to egg freezing or IVF in order to facilitate treatment customization.

Does Low AMH Mean You Can’t Get Pregnant?

Absolutely not.

Low AMH doesn't mean infertility - it only implies:

• Your egg supply might be lower than anticipated, and timing would be a more crucial factor.

So, plenty of women with low AMH levels get pregnant naturally or through treatment such as IUI, IVF, or ICSI.

---

Why Does AMH Drop?

AMH decreases as age goes on, quite naturally.

However, other reasons may have an impact on it as well, such as:

• Genetics

• Endometriosis

• Autoimmune diseases

• Smoking

• Stress

• Ovarian surgery in the past

• Chemotherapy or radiation

• Certain medications

Sometimes, there isn’t any obvious cause - and that’s perfectly fine.
